Alex Kozinski's Wife: LAT Lied About What Was on My Husband's "Website"

Indeed they did. The "porn" on Kozinski's website was not stroke-material -- what most of us think as porn -- but funny (well, intended to be funny) pictures and videos using dirty material. Quite frankly, it's the sort of stuff we all get in our email box every single day, often from coworkers or even parents.

The LAT consistently misrepresented the material as not just bawdy or inappropriate but as actual hardcore porn.

For crying out loud, one of the pics identified by the LAT as a shot of a "woman's crotch" is the famous and funny "Mooseknuckle-- Camel Toe's Ugly Sister" picture/photoshop.

Yeah, the chick painted as a cow was kinda halfway hot and all, but overall the images and videos were meant to be funny, not to be beaten off to.

The judge's wife wrote to Patterico about this, and Patterico's prior collecting up of the images demonstrates the LAT deliberately lied about what exactly had been found on Kozinski's "website."

And it gets a little worse:

While I’m on the topic of responsible journalism, it has recently come to light that the LA Times learned about this material months ago, and sat on it until it would do the maximum damage. Selecting the jury was a very grueling undertaking. Over 150 potential jurors were screened for hour after painful hour on Monday and Tuesday. Scores of men and women took the trip into the jury box, only to leave soon thereafter because they confessed themselves unable to view the materials. A number of others disclosed embarrassing facts about themselves and their families in order to explain why they could not sit on this jury. It was a difficult and painful process for just about everyone who was called into the jury box. Finally, after considering 109 members of the panel, a jury was selected and sworn at the end of the day on Tuesday. And Glover was present in court while all this was going on, biding his time. Only on Wednesday, after the jury had started to hear the case – and jeopardy had attached – did the LA Times choose to “break” its story.

Sitting on a story only to "break" it when Kozinski is sitting on an obscenity case, in order to maximize embarrassment, fallout, and impact?

This isn't news, it's a political hit.
