Meanwhile, of course, some continue to think that the media is doing what it can to help the Duke Lacrosse players:

Last year in North Carolina, Duke received the most racially-oriented campus publicity with a scandal surrounding the alleged rape of a black woman by several of the school’s lacrosse players at a party hosted by the their team. Groups like the New Black Panthers party are convinced that this was not an isolated incident and that the young black woman is telling the truth. Footage of the Lacrosse player declaring his innocence has aired on nearly every major media outlet. We are still awaiting the results of the investigation. It’s a good example of an elite institution receiving media coverage for an incident of alleged racial violence. It’s also causing a comprehensive restructuring of the Athletics and Student administrations at Duke.
