The Word That Must Not Be Named
Whitewashing at the Enquirer, from the Cincinnati Beacon:
But as each version continues, it turns out that the early version archived at the Chillicothe Gazette has some details that ended up getting deleted here in Cincinnati:
Her 2006 loss inspired fellow Indian Hill resident Black, 59, an estate and probate attorney, to seek the Democratic nomination himself, even though he supported Wulsin in the 2006 race.
He quickly mounted a relentless attack on Wulsin, with mailings and TV ads that called her unethical for her work with the Heimlich Institute during a controversial experiment on the use of malaria to treat AIDS.
The passage’s use of prepositions demands attention, as McGurk now writes that Wulsin worked “with” the Heimlich Institute, as opposed to working “for” the Institute—which is apparently an unsubstantiated detail they have reported previously.
When The Enquirer rewrote the column, the passage above got transformed:
In its last few weeks the primary campaign was dominated by negative attacks and counterattacks, but both Wulsin and Black said their differences can be set aside. “We’ve got some healing to do,” Wulsin said of Black, who supported her 2006 campaign. “We’ve been friends. Deep down I think he wants to side with me and fight Jean Schmidt.”
We will continue to update you on the malariotherapy story as more details become available.
The paper can do what it wants of course, but what it can’t do is pretend to be neutral on this.
