Market Watch reports that The San Francisco Chronicle plans to launch blogs “in the near future,” according to the newspaper’s managing editor Robert Rosenthal. The paper is still contemplating the various forms and structures of the blogs which will most ensure high journalistic standards. Other papers such as The New York Times and The Dallas Morning News have already added blogs to their websites.

The media has not been interested in the truth for the last 20 years, their only concern is readers. Anyone with any real sense already knows this. However, the biggest tragedy in this case is that intellectuals and institutions also jumped to conclusions and made judgments in spite of public information which refuted many of the charges. The Duke University community condemned their own, The NAACP (a guardian of civil rights) trampled the civil rights of the accused, The Rainbow Collation (the champion of tolerance) was publicly ignorant and intolerant. Duke University itself along with most of the student body was the worst offender. Durham, North Carolina however bears most of the shame. It seems we all like to see a good lynching every now and then. I hope all concerned learned one thing, if it happened to them - it can certainly happen to you!
