As I suspected, much of the same media that carried banner stories about Hwang’s purported cloning success, are barely reporting his downfall. Notable exception, the Washington Post, which ran a front page story. But I just went through my New York Times, and couldn’t find the story. On the WEB site, there is an abridged AP wire story. The San Francisco Chronicle ran a short blurb on page 3.
Not unbelievable, but sooo typical.
I would be interested in the level of reporting from elsewhere.
