Drugnet – Takedown of an Internet Drug Ring
I’m no fan of the mainstream media. Although I grew up reading one, two, often three newspapers a day, I rarely read one today due to their reliance upon bland wire stories and biased Left-wing opinion pieces that masquerade as news. However the Philadelphia Inquirer has produced an 8 part series detailing the rise and fall of an online drug dealing empire run by an Indian MBA student at Temple University and his father, a New Delhi doctor.
It is the story of lies, deceit, and hubris – all driven by one thing: pure greed. It is as compelling as any Grisham novel and remains the best series I’ve read in any media in years. If the MSM stuck to high-quality gumshoe reporting like this, the MSM would not be so disliked and unprofitable as they are.
Read it and enjoy classic journalism the way it should be – not the way it has become.
