That is my problem as well -- all the leaks to the media are just plain wrong and the media is wrong to broadcast them as soon as they get them.
Whatever happened to double sourcing before you report -- that is missing with the media!
The media seems to have convicted him without a trial and Freepers are going right along with it! Yep -- we must believe everything the press reports because their sources are always right!
This whole thing is disgusting! The media should be ashamed and so should people that convict him off of what they hear/see in the media!
Should the people who attack the victim and call her a slut, gold-digger, mental case etc be ashamed of destroying the victim's reputation based on media reports? It cuts both ways. Also, about the double sources for the media- ESPN has said they are going with one source-if it appears to be realiabe (from an actual witness or a very credible source). I don't think the media is interested in fairness-just ratings.
"The media seems to have convicted him without a trial and Freepers are going right along with it! Yep -- we must believe everything the press reports because their sources are always right! "
sorry but the victim has been the subject of conjecture, rumor, belittlement, cursed, and accused of everything ...yes, even right here on FR...
Practically every media person has defended Bryant....
Practically every media person including our very own Hannity, Savage, and many of the other so-called conservatives have trashed this teenager...
Mark Cuban says that this rape is "good for business"..
people on Fr have said the most ridiculous things about the teenager....she used a broomstick to injury her bottom, she's a gold-digger, she's a mental case, she's a slut, she asked for it, etc etc...
in general...the overwhelming opinion on FR and the media has been poor Bryant is being ruined because of this stupid little girl....
so spare the "convicted without trial" business, because the reality, is the VICTIM has already been convicted....
