That this story got so much play in the first place is a result of the school of thought in journalism that an attempt should be made to present both sides of issues as equally credible, with no judgments made on the part of the reporter as to who is right or wrong.

In many cases that is a worthy endeavor, but there are also times where one side is so objectively and clearly in the right that the journalists need to state as much - this is one of them.
