Like with the Duke lacrosse team, the MSM have struck again:
- Stretching the facts for a sensational headline.
- Getting the facts wrong.

- Lazily repeating other so-called journalists' errors.

Especially that last.

For weeks, it has been known that the green onions weren't responsible for the Take-A-Smell e-coli outbreak, but at least twice in the last week the alphabets have repeated it as fact in evening news stories on food contamination.

At least the grower isn't taking it. link (note the date!)

Yes, and in getting it wrong, the drive-by media destroy the wrong farmers' livelihoods.

Almost as bad as destroying the Duke lacrosse players' lives. And, possibly, this red pickup driver's life, if he's identified.

The whole thing stinks of deflecting the blame, as I posted above.

The MSM have aided and abetted the Dems and the state police in deflecting the blame for this accident -- onto some poor zhlub who probably didn't even know he was "involved."
