Washington Post reporter Nick Anderson’s response to our June 16 critique of his (and three of his colleagues’) very long front-page articles on June 12 as misleading readers about campus sexual assault is revealing, both for what it says and for what it does not.
As to the latter, a Post reader might assume that the only criticism of the paper’s work came from what Anderson calls a “conservative journal.” Anderson conveniently overlooks the fact that we, the authors of the article, are a Democrat and an independent, both of whom have voted for President Obama twice. The Post’s efforts also received strong rebukes from Robby Soave in Reason, a libertarian journal, as well as Ashe Schow in the Washington Examiner and David French in National Review Online.
