New York Times columnist David Carr has taken a number of writers, including himself, to task for turning a blind eye to the numerous allegations of sexual assault leveled against Bill Cosby,
LinkIn addition to admitting his own accountability, Carr called out Ta-Nehisi Coates, who penned a lengthy essay on the comedian in The Atlantic in 2008; Kelefa Sanneh, who wrote a New Yorker profile on Cosby in September; and Mark Whitaker, who wrote an extensive biography on Cosby published just two months ago; noting that they all failed to properly address the accusations, despite the fact that they were “carefully and thoroughly reported” in Philadelphia magazine, People magazine and Today in 2005 and 2006.
