Missing Media Culpa?

(CBS)

"…all the commentary I've seen and in analysis on the air today, it's all about what the prosecutor did wrong, how the legal system didn't work -- very little about the media's role here in pumping this up into a national frenzy. The legal miscarriage of justice in this case, Paula, ended today. But the media miscarriage and the stains from that are going to linger for a long time."

--Howard Kurtz, talking about the media's culpability in the Duke rape case last night on CNN.
