"When it comes to any feminist cause, no one can believe anything the Times says. It’s sad, but that’s where we are."

"As the Cornell circus drags on, we are past the point where The New York Times has to be told, I’m sorry, this is a feminist thing, you have to recuse yourself. The paper can only respond, You’re right, but I have a problem with alcohol.
"Having repeatedly made itself a journalistic laughingstock by believing any gang-rape accusation against white men, the Times thinks it gets an unlimited number of free shots, with no penalty.
"To take a few of the paper’s standout efforts: in the Duke lacrosse debacle, the Times held out to the bitter end, believing the soon-to-be-disbarred prosecutor and hiding the burgeoning evidence of the players’ innocence long after every other media outlet had admitted the truth.
"A few years later, the Times gave front-page billing to Jamie Leigh Jones’s tale about being violently gang-raped by military contractors in Baghdad, even claiming to have confirmed her account by talking to other self-proclaimed victims and—to get the other side of the story—their lawyers. The jury verdict against her on all counts was given in a short AP report, demurely placed on page A13.
"Then, when nearly every news outlet was pillorying Rolling Stone magazine’s preposterous cover story about a gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity, the Times stood alone in finding no flaws with the chronicle. (Sample sentence from the original article: “’Grab its motherf*cking leg,’ she heard a voice say. And that’s when Jackie knew she was going to be raped.”) The most the paper would allow was that others had doubts, noting that the magazine’s account had “come under scrutiny.”
"After every gang-rape saga blows up in its face, the Times runs and hides, waits a few years, then rushes to embrace another fraud.
"Jane Doe’s recent lawsuit against Cornell puts the Times right on schedule to fall flat on its face again. Doe claims that, two years ago, she was gang-raped at a fraternity there. Sadly, the accused rapists aren’t white this time, but they’re in a fraternity and that’s close enough.
"Let’s see how the paper’s doing.
