Reporter honor roll

According to Stuart Taylor, Jr and K. C. Johnson's book on the Duke lacrosse non-rape case, "Until Proven Innocent," as summarized by John Leo, there were some responsible journalists:

The notably fair and accurate journalists who covered the case (a short list) included Dan Abrams of MSNBC, Chris Cuomo of Good Morning America, Kurt Anderson of New York Magazine, Ed Bradley of 60 Minutes and the first New York Times reporter, Joe Drape, who was taken off the story shortly after concluding that the alleged rape looked like a hoax.

Well, the New York Times does have reputation to uphold.
