Will "60 Minutes" do a "180" about exposing the Duke rape hoax?

On August 16, 2006, I announced what should be ecstatic news for supporters of the Duke Three (surely the ones who want the nightmare to end sooner rather than latter) in an article entitled "The '60 Minutes' season opener should close the Duke case."

The gist of my article:

"Mike Nifong, make a note: as of now, on September 24, 2006, an inevitable hour of infamy finally will follow your undeserved and disgraceful fifteen minutes of fame and you will realize that your short-term political gain from your deplorable (political) decision to prosecute (and persecute) the Duke Three was NOT worth it.

"Sure, you played the race card, it won you the Durham County, North Carolina District Attorney Democrat primary, and that would be tantamount to election if you are not exposed before Election Day 2006 as a shameless political hack whom Durham County's good people will not want back. Mr. Bradley, 60 Minutes's Ed, will leave you politically dead.

[snip]

The final editing for a season opening presentation on September 24 in an ongoing matter probably will not be done until hours, if not minutes, before broadcast, of course.

I will not be baited into revealing sources or breaking confidences, but there is more comfort that I can provide to the concerned.

I'm not holding my breath. I doubt that "60 Minutes" will be objective about this case

Naw, they won't do a 180. They'll do a 360.

I heard Today Show today 'justifying' their coverage of the Jonbenet arrest. "We only reported what was newsworthy. (We didn't have to check our sources.)"

Arent the NYT and CBS one company? I doubt 60 minutes will be as honest as the deluded Gaynor thinks. What naivete!

Yeowch. Could very well be. I've seen them in a rather heavily slanted light, of late.

CBS will only spare Mr. Nifong and pronounce the Duke case a reasonable exercise in prosecutorial discretion if the known facts warrant it.

Ha! What's this guy been smoking?

The Duke players will forever be tagged as the Duke Three.They have been dragged through the mud,and it will never wash off.I feel for them.I can not even imagine what it will cost them for their defense team.
