File this one under Another Reason Not to Trust the MSM. Today's NYT runs a story about an ongoing investigation of some subsidiaries of famed investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire hathaway under the following headline:
You have to wade through the piece to the 5th paragraph before learning that nobody has brought any charges against Buffett. Indeed, the piece doesn't present a single fact that would lead any reasonable person to suspect that Buffett had anything to do with the alleged improprieties at an Irish subsidiay. Yet, the headline and opening paragraphs create the contrary impression. To be sure, maybe the investigation will eventually show he's involved, but at this point NY Times reporter Timothy L. O'Brien's piece is nothing but a hatchet job.
Curiously, the usually measured Orrin Judd seems to assume Buffett is guilty until proven innocent.
