Media - How The Times Destroyed An Innocent Man
This looks like it's going to get interesting; in court!...
At Accuracy In Media, Cliff Kincaid discusses that anthrax case that most of us have forgotten:
"As we noted in a 2002 column, 'New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is one of those behind the FBI's campaign against Dr. Steven Hatfill in the anthrax case. Without contacting Hatfill or his representatives, Kristof wrote five columns and thousands of words urging more FBI scrutiny of the scientist. He portrayed Hatfill as a despicable character with an unsavory past. But Hatfill's attorney has been unable to get his side of the story in the paper. The Times now says it will run a Hatfill column on the matter, but only if it does not criticize Kristof by name. How's that for fairness?'"
