Los Angeles Times: A Comedy in Three Parts

Mike

Part I.  The Los Angeles Times publishes an article criticizing my research of the David Motari video: 

It was a despicable and even shameful act, but the reaction was no better. Before any of the facts were established -- the Marine's identity, for instance, or whether the video was some kind of hoax -- the cyber mob had its torches lighted, and the auto-da-fé had begun. Barely a day after the video surfaced, a Marine's reputation was in tatters, his life threatened and his family terrorized.

Part 2.  The Los Angeles Times publishes an article accusing Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs of being involved in Tupac Shakur's 1994 assault:

In 1994, Tupac Shakur was ambushed, beaten and shot at the Quad Recording Studios in New York. He insisted that friends of Sean 'Diddy' Combs were behind it. New information supports him.

Part 3.  The Los Angeles Times never seemed to establish any facts before publishing its Tupac story.

Epilogue.  David Motari was indeed the Marine depicted in the video.  His own sister confirmed it.  But Puff Daddy had nothing to do with Tupac's assault.   The world wonders: Who should be lecturing whom?
