The depleted Herald-Sun hasn’t had much to crow about lately, what with getting its brains beat out by the News & Observer and seeing it’s circulation fall like Katie Couric’s ratings. But it was the N&O that had to eat some crow today when they followed The Herald-Sun by three days on a Duke lacrosse story. The Herald-Sun reported on Saturday that the Duke rape accuser had passed out at a Hillsborough club and had to be dragged from the premises, possibly causing cuts and bruises that she later claimed were a result of an attack by lacrosse players. The N&O didn’t have the story until today.
