I agree wholeheartedly with jim east’s post and lean towards the later – bias.

Having been a student of his back in 2004, I knew then that he never was of WUSTL caliber and this just validates that fact. WUSTL needs to be more discretionary about who they let represent the university- he was merely a disappointment of a professor back then but now it’s elevated to a disgrace to the university. I am thrilled this partnership has been severed due to his own self-inflicted demise. Good riddance Jeff.

When a state senator resigns in disgrace, it’s shoddy journalism (or evidence of bias) not to mention his party.

As a former Student Lifer, I expect better.

He’s going to jail for lying in an affidavit.

I like how he wore his douchiest suit to court. He’s too short for pinstripes.

I’m baffled by this. What exactly did he do? Why are none of the so-called news stories telling the public what he is accused of doing, precisely?

Surely some 5 year old incident involving some fliers would not be enough to force him out of office. There must be something more.
