A federal judge criticized New York Times reporter
Alex Berenson's coverage of Eli Lilly's anti-psychotic drug Zyprexa, saying that unlike the case of the Pentagon Papers, in which classified government documents were given to a Times reporter, "here a reporter was deeply involved in the effort to illegally obtain the documents." A Times spokeswoman says the court opinion "vastly overstates Alex's role in the release of the documents." ||
Philip Dawdy: "If I had been in Berenson's shoes (and I have been with other sorts of documents), I would have done exactly the same thing." || Read NYT's
