CNN’s Steubenville Coverage Matches 2011 ‘Onion’ Athlete-Rape Parody Video

Ridiculous & sad. :/ I used to think the Onion was fun years ago, but I also think they’re crossing a lot of lines where what they see as dark humor can actually trivialize something really profound. Anyhow, as for CNN, I really do hope they have the honor to make an apology, but it still feels like even that would seem hollow at this point. Just my 2cents.
Ugh. disgusting. Seems like we still live in a patriarchal society.
Agreed. Check out CNN’s Facebook wall though– they are getting a lot of flak for their terrible coverage. The fact that so many people are upset about this makes me feel a bit better. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kia-makarechi/cnn-steubenville-coverage_b_2896948.html?utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false
Oh ok cool, thats more like it. Read about that petition to get a CNN apology too – went to sign it but it has already reached its target – which is great. x
