Steubenville

I can't believe the bullshit surrounding this. Pretty much all of the TV networks are acting like these guys were blameless somehow. I am reminded of the Simpsons episode where the judge keeps ruling "boys will be boys." We've utterly failed boys in this country.

But then there are the women. We've failed them, too. Crap like Limbaugh calling a woman seeking birth control a slut... We nurture these attitudes and then don't have the backs of the kids who are victimized.

Anyway, about CNN, who has been one of the worst offenders. Where's the call for the female employees to walk out the door? When Cnet got shit on by its parent companies, a lot of holier-than-thou folks said they should walk, and frankly reportage on consumer electronics is about a million times less important than the story of some football punks raping a 16 year-old girl.

We really have no perspective. Humanity's greatest curse.
