Accusations fly after US rushes to judgment

"But it is not just tabloid newspapers and cable news channels that are making mistakes. The Duke rape charges have prompted a slew of salacious and speculative stories around allegations of the rape of a black stripper at a college fraternity party held by an overwhelmingly white lacrosse team. Here it is the New York Times that has come in for most criticism. The paper has been accused of assuming the students' guilt, as more and more evidence emerges that the woman's allegations may be false. Last week, in a piece in the online magazine Salon, writer Stuart Taylor accused the Times of being 'bent on advancing its race-sex-class ideological agenda at the cost of ruining the lives of three young men whom it has reason to know are very probably innocent'."

The Guardian is Britain's premiere anti-American leftist rag.

But it's interesting that they've picked up on the story, although not the particular aspect of it the article addresses.
