Review clears Miami Herald's military affairs writer

A little MSM caught in their selective oversight in regards to the killing of a political controversy. The public seems left intentionally unaware of the bogus claims made by Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon in either an attempt to bury the facts reported on by Carol Rosenberg or to continue the beliefs brought about in the attempt at her character assassination.
In either case it's piss poor journalism and shows the full extent of the fact that Main Stream Media is a willingly government controlled industry

Miami Herald reporter Carol Rosenberg will continue to cover the U.S. military after an investigation into allegations by a Navy public affairs officer that she verbally abused and sexually harassed him at Guantánamo Bay.

In a letter Monday to the Pentagon, Miami Herald Vice President of Human Resources Elissa Vanaver wrote that the newspaper's internal investigation ``did not find corroboration'' for the complaint of sexual harassment and abusive behavior made last month by Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon.

Herald executives interviewed military officials and journalists from other news outlets, some of whom had witnessed the incidents Gordon cited in his complaint. ``We found some inconsistencies in [Gordon's] version of events,'' Miami Herald Executive Editor Anders Gyllenhaal said.

Rosenberg, a veteran military affairs writer with a reputation for aggressive reporting, said, ``I have been heartened by an outpouring of support by both the uniformed military who have followed my coverage and journalists who covered the story.''

Gordon did not respond to requests for a comment on Monday.
