Raleigh News & Observer Tops Duke Lacrosse Scandal with Scahill Collaboration

The Raleigh News & Observer, whose editors and reporters helped destroy the lives of young men with the discredited Duke lacrosse team scandal, now brags about how its crack team has taken on Blackwater Worldwide.

In an edited interview with ProPublica.org, News & Observer investigations editor Steve Riley boasts about the paper's coverage. But he says nothing about the special relationship between one of his reporters, Joe Neff, and moonbat writer Jeremy Scahill.

In the public interest, the newspaper should reveal the nature and scope of that relationship, and detail any collaboration between Neff and Scahill that the paper might have kept from its readers.
