I missed this on the 28th.. the LA Times had a piece on the Bates story. (User name/password 'laexaminer/laexaminer') Thanks to Res for seeing it.
New (to me, at least): The extent to which the Patriot tried to get mainstream sources to pick this one up. She called Dean's campaign office, which said it wanted nothing to do with the story. A campaign staffer gave her a list of media contacts, Coyne said. She and friends then spent the afternoon at her sorority house calling radio, TV and newspaper outlets, none of which did the story.Dean certainly dropped the ball. The story also goes over the Daily Cal's handling of the story, but we've already argued that one to exhaustion. A nice collection of quotes from various Berkeley types, including new Cal professor Christopher Hitchens. Writer, critic and raconteur Christopher Hitchens, a visiting fellow at the Journalism School next semester, called Bates' trashing of the newspapers "a metaphorical moment .... There's no intolerance like liberal intolerance."I don't think you can be a raconteur unless you have a cocktail in your hand at all hours. The story misses the extent to which the police exposed the story, doing the footwork and inducing Bates to finally admit to the thefts. Email This Post! |
