"You at the N & O had the opportunity to investigate everything about this case, just as the bloggers have. They aren't being paid to be journalists and aren't up for any Pulitzers, but they are doing an amazing job of exposing the real story here--a foul-mouthed, win-at-all-costs DA up for a tough re-election using a story that the N & O had already made into a racial, athlete swaggering pile of nonsense. The bloggers are absolutely beating you at the job you were supposed to do. Are any of you on Nifong's payroll?"

"This wasn't just another accusation, it was a case up-ender, a wrench in the works, a skunk at the picnic that casts all the individuals involved in a somewhat different light. If the AV's accusation that Kim stole $2,000 from her that night were true, then the questions come fast and furious. Why did the AV have an additional $1,600 on her? Why was she carrying this money around? Was it money she had just made? What sort of things would one be doing to earn $1,600 in an afternoon and evening. With that kind of earning power, perhaps the AV wasn't even poor. Not poor, perhaps she wasn't even forced to do these degrading performances to feed her kids. Was the robbery of $2,000 the reason Kim was trying to dump the AV at the Krogers and get the heck out of there, instead of making some effort to take her home? Was the 911 call a phoney attempt to cover up this robbery and cast the lacrosse players in a bad light. But most of all, if Kim could so casually rob a 'sister' within 90 minutes of meeting her, the racial tableau of this case starts to melt down like a bunch of cheap wax works."

These local reporters leave a lot to be desired. Their interview of the AV's driver Taylor is suspect also. Every word printed in this whole scandal is suspect. Newspapers distorting lawyer's dissemination of Nifong's fictional boxcar of discovery of rigged imcompetent Durham police investigation of lying criminal felons. No investigation of the criminal underground sex, drug network in a county whose DA claims 50,000 NEW defendants each year. Why that is nearly half the adult population. No wonder the Durham criminal justice system is so felon friendly. The odds are you or your relatives have done business downtown at the courthouse, police department or jail, at one time or another. The police chief's daughter charged with attempted murder by running someone over? Someone needs to check out the recent rape, robbery at gunpoint, of the 'exotic dancer' over on Sandy Creek Drive this week. Porn industry connections? Developing.....

This is what the local MSM should have been tracking all along. "Follow the money" is a good mantra whenever anything begins to smell bad.
