"Fox News deserves a lot of credit for keeping the Duke story up front. Other "news" organizations were ready to let it drop several months ago ..."

That's not true. Ed Bradley on CBS's 60-minutes did a number of stories, before he died, exposing the flaws in the case. He was the most pro-active in the mainstream media, but IIRC ABC gave it a decent amount of objective coverage whenever there was anything to report, too - objective after the initial sensational phase of the story, at least, if not from the beginning (which was too long ago to be certain). I don't know what Fox did that you are referring to, but where I've followed the story outside the mainstream media (mostly via fellow alums, Durham family and an occasional peek at K.C. Johnson's blog), there was much praise for Ed Bradley's coverage.

PS: Even SNL was on the right side in this. You saw the Nancy Grace skit on it, didn't you?
