Quoth Nifong: utter lack of any degree of skepticism on the part of the national media with respect to the claims of the defense attorneys

Where this went so badly wrong was the "utter lack of any degree of skepticism on the part of the national media with respect to the claims of the district attorney".

I'm saying Nifong has completely crapped in his oatmeal here. The media used to be on his side. Now they have an excuse to turn on him like sharks...

Come on LIEfong. Just give us some, ANY, evidence that points directly to these three young men, wearing rape jackets, brutally choking and raping Mangum while Kim Roberts assisted in the assault. Oh, and prove the goofy rohypnol accusation as well. Or is it Flexeril? Actually, what is your star witness's story today? Timeline?

Anything?

Instead, the media is now at fault.

"utter lack of any degree of skepticism on the part of the national media with respect to the claims of the defense attorneys"

Only one problem Mikey - they expressed tons of skepticism on claims by the defense.

But now they are no longer basing their opinion on defense claims - they HAVE YOUR DISCOVERY FILE. That is what they are basing their opinions on.
