WTW8: Michael Powell's First NYT Piece Also Was Terrible

Michael Powell is the (former) NYT journalist who completely botched the JWST coverage, as previously discussed at length here. But did you know before that he also completely botched some Title IX / Campus Sexual Assault coverage? We've got his asshole origin story here and it's every bit as terrible as you'd expect. This is a two-parter, and I promise you the payoff in later part 2 is worth the slow burn. There is a paragraph in his story that is some of the worst journalism I've ever seen.
