Mike Nifong, the Duke lacrosse case prosecutor, finally resigned as Durham District Attorney. The coverage of Nifong has been fairly unrelenting. One who would have professed skepticism about the press’s feeding frenzy over the three accused Duke players might have to wonder if the press isn’t going overboard in its condemnations now, especially those who were so overboard the other way before. The press is an outrage machine. I learned long ago that one can believe maybe half of what they read in the news, but which half?

In the Duke lacrosse case, the best place to go for the full story remains here.

UPDATE: It’s all over for Nifong. Well, actually not all. Now come the civil cases…
