I admire their excellent investigative work, but they're certainly not the only one. Just three days ago the New York Times published a fascinating article [0] about a crooked Brooklyn detective who, with the collusion of Elizabeth Holtzman's AG office, put probably dozens of innocent people in prison for murder. These cases are getting reviewed and the victims released after years in jail, partly due to the Times' investigation. This is just a recent example.
