Get a load of this. This story on the AP wire they have the title 'DUKE's RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS EXPLAINED'

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/duke_lacrosse;_ylt=A0SOwkfN2V9EzCkBiAis0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--

Say what? The story her is she changed her story and she had said 20 white men raped her.

If the lacrosse players had changed their story wildly .. Do you think the title would be "Nifong explains his response"?

I can't believe the Media is not questioning this case. This is such a monumental miscarriage of justice.

Yowzer! From your link ...

The day after the March 13 team party where a 27-year-old black woman claimed she was raped, Durham police told campus officers that "this will blow over," the report said. It said that the woman initially told police she was raped by 20 white men, then said she was attacked by three.

Police told the Duke officers that if any charges were filed, "they would be no more than misdemeanors," the report said.

I agree. It is astonishing. Then again, to leftists in the media the truth is not important, its the seriousness of the charge. Also, add to the fact the accused are straight white males from upper upper middle class families.
The media's favorite group to hate.

I love how that article talks about 'WHITE male athletes being arrogant and self indulgent. As if talented black male athletes on campus are any less self indulgent . I recall reading many of articles on black male athletes in colleges across this country in trouble for rape, hitting women, drugs...etc. Guess who is the first to excuse their behavior? That's right, the media and administrators on campus. You know, it's their poor background,so they can't help it.

<< The story her is she changed her story and she had said 20 white men raped her. >>

What you have to understand is, much like a 5 minute rape can SEEM like a 30 minute period, so also 3 rapists can SEEM like 20 people. Or so we will hear from Wendy Murphy and Nancy Grace et al.
