As someone with personal knowledge of some of these events, I find it outrageous that the Post Register and now PBS continues to tout this story as an "expose". I have been a long-time defender of the Post Register in this conservative community. However, my defense stopped at this series on the Boy Scouts and Stowell. The Post Register, I believe through long-time reporter Corey Taule, covered this story when Stowell was initially prosecuted and again when it was first filed civilly in the late 90's. Zuckerman and Miller never mention the fact that these events were covered by their newspaper years earlier. They simply repackaged the entire previously covered events into what should have been an op-ed piece. They ignored pertinent facts that would dilute the outrage of the story they were manipulating. The real expose here should be the outing of the Post Register and its manipulation of old coverage as "new, previously unheard of events." While the story of Brad Stowell and the scout's decision to allow him to act as a leader ten years after a single known act of child abuse as a teenager abused himself is a newsworthy story, so is the story of how this really pretty ordinary story launched the careers of Zuckerman and Miller on the almost entirely false premise of an "expose." I am no fan of the Boy Scouts, but I am interested in fairness and integrity. Bias of the reporters and the editor does become a relevant issue when in the same time frame surrounding the "outing" of the Boy Scouts, the Post Register advocated for a convicted sex offender to continue working at the local YMCA. No "expose" of how the sex offender got a job at the YMCA or why the Post Register thought everyone should withhold judgement on why he should keep his job at the Y. Similarly, no "expose" of the Little League when one of its couches was convicted of molesting a boy and the failure of Little League officials to uncover his propensities, also within the same time frame as the Stowell story. Or of the pastor of a church when he was convicted after Stowell. When the Post Register ignores the failures of other youth organizations and focuses on only one, you can question whether the newspaper is really concerned about protecting children and informing the community or promoting their own agendas.
