That's exactly my point. They can lie about this girl because no one can refute it, but they can't tell outrageous lies about the president or Bryant because there would be immediate proof that it was a lie.
If any of Kobe's "friends" want to step up to the mike and drag him through the mud... I'm sure the papers and tv shows would be MORE than accomadating.
I did't know he had friends.
However, so far nobody has, plain and simple. Whereas, in the case of our colorado girl.. there is a multitude of people willing to step up and reveal information about this person... and more importantly they are all local friends and townspeople....
Anyone can tell any lie they want about her because there's no one to refute it, she's not famous and therefore not watched all the time. Famous people have their every move watched, non-famous people don't.
