Paper too often publishes first, checks facts later

It is the absolute responsibility

of journalism to investigate fact; publishing anything based on pure allegation

does a great disservice to all involved.

In my estimation, it prejudges

a situation and this is terribly wrong! Our entire system of justice is

predicated on innocence until proven guilty, not the exact opposite, as

your reporting would frequently lead us to believe.

Yes, it requires infinitely

more legwork and fact chasing, but is this not the challenge of good journalism?

I, for one, certainly think so.
