The media in general, like much of the Duke faculty, saw white frat boys and just knew what happened. Two of the worst examples were Nancy Grace of Headline News and Duff Wilson of the New York Times. Both have a lot to answer for.

John Stewart of Comedy Central gives Nancy a well-deserved comedic thrashing here. A few minutes invested in the clip will pay dividends. Meanwhile, K.C. Johnson of Durham in Wonderland asks Duff to back up an outrageous avowal of substance to the prosecutors' case in the Grey Lady.
