"No glaring factual inaccuracies" is a high standard indeed. :)
I think NPR erred when they repeatedly quoted a man who has about as much connection to the case as you or I do. I also think they erred in repeatedly describing what Swartz did as "hacking." They even dropped the obligatory "alleged" after the first mention.
Someone reading this article would come away thinking that Swartz "hacked into" the MIT network and "stole" millions of documents. That he was prosecuted for this crime, and that his "friends" feel that the punishment was too harsh.
