MSM Downplaying Hwang Scandal
As I suspected, much of the same media that carried banner stories about Hwang's purported cloning success, are barely reporting his downfall. Notable exception, the Washington Post, which ran a front page story. But I just went through my New York Times, and couldn't find the story. On the WEB site, there is an abridged AP wire story. The San Francisco Chronicle ran a short blurb on page 3.
Not unbelievable, but sooo typical.
I would be interested in the level of reporting from elsewhere.

In the Portland Oregonian today (12/23), there are 6-7 column inches from the AP on page 11, just under a story about the stolen British penguin which is more than twice and long and has a bigger, bolder heading.
Thanks. I'll bet this is the pattern all over the country--with the notable and admirable exception of the Washington Post.
