"... everything that's wrong with American journalism."

The title quote fragment is from Daniel Okrent, the first public editor of the New York Times from October 2003 to May 2005, regarding the Times' coverage of the Duke lacrosse team prosecution debacle, and is taken from a Duke Chronicle article by Iza Wojciechowska. The article is well worth reading despite a lede sentence so bad even I wouldn't have written it. (As if I even knew how to write a lede!)
