Mitchell speech at SMU attacks press reporting
Attorney General John Mitchell in Dallas at SMU Law Day condemned what he called shocking contempt for truth in the press and a cheap surrender to instinct. He warned of grave danger from erosion of professionalism and cited misreports including a false claim that 28 Black Panthers were killed by police.
