Isn't that always the case? No amount of rebuttal stories or rescinding of "facts" from stories can ever clear the names of the innocent once a mass media story is out there. And they never care, either. In magazines and newspapers, they wind up in a small box on an inside page. On news reports, they wind up as half thoughts mentioned offhandedly as though they're no big deal. Not only should police (or whoever is really to blame) be held responsible, but the media should as well. I dunno how that would work, but it would be nice.
