Duke Lacrosse Fake-Rape Claims: 160 TV News Stories - Duke Accuser Murder Conviction: 3 TV Stories
[CNSNEWS] When Crystal Mangum falsely accused several Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, there were 160 television news stories in the first five days after the players were incarcerated
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
, but in 2013, when Mangum was convicted of murder and sentenced to 14 years in prison, there were only 3 television news stories, a difference in coverage of 5,233%.

When the Duke lacrosse-rape story broke in March/April 2006, it was huge news, garnering massive, widespread coverage by the networks ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as by FOX, CNN and MSNBC, and the print press, such as USA Today, New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
and Washington Post.

Basically, the story was that members of the Duke lacrosse team had a party on March 13, 2006 at an off-campus house where two strippers had been hired to perform -- one of them was Crystal Mangum, then 27 years old. At some point there were some verbal exchanges between Mangum and some persons at the party. Mangum left with the other stripper and later that evening/early morning Mangum told police she had been raped.

#1 The Permanent Party Propaganda Machine has got to keep their base motivated. Two-Minute-Hate programming at its usual.
