The Pulitzer Prize is the highest award in journalism. This week Dana Priest was awarded a Pulitzer for actions which should have her traitor butt in prison. The Pulitzer prize should be regarded in the same light as the Nobel. Both used to mean something but now I'd be embarrassed to receive either.LargeBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231452147187641675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1145745143856609162006-04-22T18:32:00.000-04:002006-04-22T18:32:00.000-04:00I'm sure the MSM will portray McCarthy as a victim...I'm sure the MSM will portray McCarthy as a victim, but I have no sympathy for her at all.

You have my email address in my real name, so don't go there.<BR/><BR/>Where are all the headlines and stories questioning the reality of the occurrence of the crime. To date, no one, has given any evidence, other than the uncorroborated and disputed word of a known liar and lawbreaker, that a crime has occurred. The facts of her previous dishonesty and troubles with the law, do not automatically preclude her story being true. However, in the view of the lack of any physical evidence and in view of the early versions of witness statements (though some have now changed their statements as their status as probationary felons has become known) where is all your high dudgeon that Nifong has not even established that a crime has been committed? Why have you not asked this question? It is so obvious that any 4 year old would have asked, yet your staff did not. <BR/><BR/>Why hasn't there been a story about discrepancy in early and late versions of the story? Why have you not asked how many rehearsals ...er, uh ... Nifong probably called them interviews he has had between the time he learned that DNA evidence did not exist to substantiate a crime, and he advised the young woman that identifying someone would trump evidence? Why did you not follow up on questions such as those? Did you ask stripper number two what considerations she will get for her altered testimony? Did you examine the terms of her felony probation to see if Nifong had leverage to gain compliance with an agenda? <BR/><BR/>NO, you did not do any of those things, nor did you raise any of those questions. You have no right to maintain that you report the news, let alone that you report it fairly.<BR/><BR/>What you have done is deeply wound your community and negated years of effort and valor of the people that sacrificed so much to put an end to just this behavior. I do not believe Dr. King would approve you or the black leadership in your community and their apologists that have embraced racial hatred and economic envy instead of the pursuit of justice. <BR/><BR/>If the young woman was raped, she deserves justice, as does the community. There is just too much wrong with this rush to condemnation with no fuel for it but hatred on one side, and profit on yours and election hopes on Nifong's. Shame on you, for your beat the drum that caused this to be a divisive controversy rather than a communal seeking of justice wherever the evidence may have led. You and your paper have done all you could to make the evidence irrelevant. Shame on you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1145679221459319952006-04-22T00:13:00.000-04:002006-04-22T00:13:00.000-04:00Dear straightarrow,You mentioned leaving a comment...Dear straightarrow,<BR/><BR/>You mentioned leaving a comment at Sill's blog.<BR/><BR/>I went there tonight and couldn't find it.<BR/><BR/>Where did you leave it?<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>JohnJWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275423713054782480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-1145679017430527192006-04-22T00:10:00.000-04:002006-04-22T00:10:00.000-04:00My thoughts?
