Duke Lacrosse Case Shows Importance of Unbiased Coverage of UT Lawsuit
I’ve been on a crusade criticizing The Tennessean newspaper for its biased and irresponsible coverage of the University of Tennessee sexual assault lawsuit… they have been going beyond simply reporting the plaintiff’s perspective to publishing articles written in an attempt to paint UT, and specifically its athletic department, as a depraved and toxic place. Tennessean news director openly admitted that the publication has an agenda. They believe UT is guilty. The primary problem with this belief is that the accusations in the lawsuit have not yet been proven to be true. And nothing proves the importance of waiting to form an opinion until after all of the facts have been presented more than the sexual assault case brought against the Duke lacrosse team in 2006.
