Oh, I hope you have read the N&O editor blogs - they are a hoot. A bunch of poster have been raking the paper over the coals for the biased headline a few weeks ago: "Two Duke lacrosse DNA tests are positive" They complain that there is an implication of guilt - the DNA evidence that Nifong promised early on in the game - a match to the players.
Of course, it turned out to be that some of the DNA of the players was found in their own house. Not on the AV, or in any incriminating fashion, just that they must have played with themselves sometime the last few weeks.
Anyway the editor is playing Mickey the Dunce about the headline complaints - she says she doesn't see anything wrong - it looks like a perfectly good headline to her, and the charming - would you explain to me again just what is wrong with that headline?
It is sad, sad, sad. Anyway, read it for some laughs. The repeated obtuse "I don't see anything wrong with that" will just crack you up. That's her story, and she's sticking to it.
Fido,
To your point, if you look in the most read stories list, in the last 7 days, the - "2 Duke Lacrosse players DNA test positive" has been there forever.
Now, with the blogs and people interested in this case, wouldn't you think the story on the verdict in the Cab driver's case would be on the list? It's not.
It's not even on the MOST Poplular stores in the last 24 hours - which is totally unbelievable with the National interest and the lack of coverage by the National Media.
I agree with you.
