He has a point

Interesting comment on an article about Columbine (actually a review of a book about Columbine):

Weinberg tells us, in effect, that he and the rest of the world were duped by the media coverage of Columbine (it's not so much that the media got it wrong intentionally, but in the end, they got it wrong). So Weinberg picks up a single book, and it tells him everything we know about Columbine is wrong. Suddenly, Weinberg assumes everything in this new book is right. To boot, Cullen was one of the reporters covering Columbine in the first place. So now we can trust him to get it right?
