Highly modern lapses in ethical techniques

"What if 'In Cold Blood' got it wrong about Walker murders?":

"As local detectives pursue cold-case leads tying Smith and Hickock to Sarasota on the date of the Walker murders, age-old questions about Capote's motivations, scruples and literary style are inevitable. In fact, Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, suggests that one of Capote's legacies is actually an antecedent to 'highly modern lapses in ethical techniques' in media."
