Reminds me of the fake but true stories....

NYTimes editorials being sold as news.

They should have hired WHITE strippers, so as not to be racially exploitative.

They'll do what the mainstream media is doing.

They'll change the argument and point to a deeper problem with race relations. They'll claim that it doesn't matter whether the accuser was telling the truth or not. All she did was expose societal wounds that have been hidden, but never healed.

No mention of the fact that the accuser just cried wolf and what sort of damage that has already done. They're too afraid to admit having fallen for it.


Let me see.........a bunch of jocks hire strippers. Who hasn't seen what happens at drunken orgies held by jocks. A woman at the party claims she was raped. Another woman says it was very possible given the behavior of the guys who were very drunk. The DA of Durham says he has concrete evidence supporting his case. One of the three guys had just been arrested for gay bashing in DC, another common behavior for jocks.

Now if 88 Duke professors did take out a letter in the local newspaper, assuming that's true, it would not be surprising given the above scenario. Unfortunately, they had forgotten one of the most basic points in the American judicial system......someone is innocent until proven guilty.

People too often are found guilty in 'the court' of public opinion. And its not only professors who are guilty of that violation.
