Think of Dan Rather and CBS lying for days about the “unimpeachable source” of their phony TANG documents when they knew he was Bill Burkett, a long-time Bush-hater and Democartic Party activist.<BR/><BR/>Anon @ 9:09,<BR/><BR/>Wouldn’t it be great if the N&O did what you suggest instead of running all those editor columns we help pay for in which the N&O tells us it’s really concerned about truth and journalism ethics?<BR/><BR/>Anonymous said... <BR/>What is the legal liability for the N & O? Those harmed may find that they need to teach them a lesson. This is a lesson that would be a great victory for those harmed by the same practices of newspapers of similar persuasion and practice. Unfortunately it is widespread.<BR/><BR/>Anon @ 11:58,<BR/><BR/>It would be a great victory if the N&O was held libel for its fraudulent and racially inflammatory reporting as well as its cover-ups of so much news it had that was exculpatory for the players.<BR/><BR/>Anon @ 11:15 AM,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your very nice words. They mean a lot. I plan to stay at it.<BR/><BR/>Anon @ 12;25 PM,<BR/><BR/>When you talk about “local press” and “yellow journalism” re: the Duke Hoax case, you sure are right. <BR/><BR/>I hope you agree the Raleigh N&O belongs in with the other two and at the head of the list.<BR/><BR/>Anon @ 12:40 PM,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for two leads to important stories. If you don’t see them cited in one of my posts within the next week, let me know.<BR/><BR/>I mean to use them.<BR/><BR/>Thank you all for worthwhile comments. If the six of you had been on the grand jury that indicted Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, I’m betting things might have been different.<BR/><BR/>JohnJWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275423713054782480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-57630505789978821452007-08-29T12:40:00.000-04:002007-08-29T12:40:00.000-04:00No charges yet in alleged gang-rapeHerald-Sun, The...No charges yet in alleged gang-rape<BR/>Herald-Sun, The (Durham, NC)<BR/>March 25, 2006<BR/>Author: BRIANNE DOPART AND MIKE POTTER<BR/><BR/>Addison said the team got several chances to cooperate with police and that the non-testimonial order was issued only after the players kept silent.<BR/><BR/>"We never would have had to do those swabs if they would've cooperated," he said.<BR/><BR/>Addison said police can't force samples from anyone they believe to be implicated in a crime.
