Response to NYT

This articles starts off with a depiction of what had happened. This depictions states "Tyler Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington bridge on Sept 22, 2010, after discovering that Mr. Ravi had secretly streamed his romantic interlude over the internet." He also goes into an explanation of what charges are brought upon Ravi and which were not able to be upheld by the court. The most important part of this piece is the that M.D. testified, who was with Tyler when the camera was turned on.

Though this article was up to date it does not hold a candle to the article in the New Yorker, by Ian Parker. Ian Parker appeared to be not biased at all and this article came off as completely negative towards Dharun Ravi which loses the credibility of the author. When he says that "Tyler Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington bridge on Sept 22, 2010, after discovering that Mr. Ravi had secretly streamed his romantic interlude over the internet." The author is suggesting that the only reason he jumped was because of this. Which is unknown at this time. He also says the romantic moment was streamed, which from my definition it is far from streamed.
