Mike Adams of Townhall.com points to some missing facts in the AP stories involving associate director of Duke’s Center for Health Policy Frank Lombard being charged with pimping out his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. These facts were also missing in local media stories:

The Associate Press (AP) did not mention the fact that the five-year old offered up for molestation was black. Bringing that fact to light might be damaging to the political coalition that exists between blacks and gays. Nor did the AP mention that the adopted child is being raised by a homosexual couple. Bringing that fact to light might harm the gay adoption movement.

He also asks a pertinent question about the Duke faculty who were so outraged about an alleged black-white rape incident involving the Duke lacrosse team:

If this case goes to trial, it could be an interesting one to watch. But it will be just as interesting to watch the Duke faculty respond to these allegations. It didn’t take them long to respond when several white Duke Lacrosse players were accused of raping a black stripper. A whopping 88 professors signed a statement accusing the players of both racism and rape. Such was their regard for the presumption of innocence.

Since we’re on the subject of knee-jerk reactions, where are the self-righteous pot bangers now that we have an alleged rape involving a young black boy and not an adult stripper?
