Jill Dillard: "They're used to exploiting women."
In an interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly that ran on Friday, two of the Duggar daughters who were victims of their brother’s inappropriate sexual touching called out the magazine that illegally released the records that not only revealed the identity of their brother Josh (who was a juvenile at the time), but also indirectly identified the victims.
Jill Dillard, the second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, told Kelly that she suspected there might be an agenda behind the story. “I mean, I know that the tabloids that released this, even have you know, theyre used to exploiting women. They have the parent company –”
Well, Bauer…theyre a major porn provider…” her sister Jessa Seewald interrupted.
“So I dont know if they are maybe their mindset, theyre just used to making objects out of women and maybe we just didnt seem any different,” Seewald continued.
Jill and Jessa are members of the conservative Christian family that has been featured in the reality TV series 19 Kids and Counting, and the young women are spot on about the background of the company that publishes In Touch magazine.
Bauer Media Group, based in Hamburg, Germany, publishes 600 magazines, over 400 digital products, and 50 radio and TV stations around the world, including In Touch magazine, the publication that uncovered the story of the abuse in the Duggar home. They also traffic in porn — some of it Nazi-themed., as you’ll see on the next page.
The Wrap reported in 2013:
But an investigation by TheWrap has found that there is a darker side to the privately held company, including publication of at least one magazine appealing to neo-Nazis, as well as significant involvement in the distribution of pornography including Nazi-themed porn movies.
These lend perspective to Bauers legal woes in the United States, including a $50 million defamation lawsuit by Tom Cruise, filed last October after two U.S.-based publications alleged hed abandoned his daughter Suri. In fact, Bauer generates dozens of legal complaints worldwide each year about invasion of privacy or libel, according to a lawyer who has frequently opposed them.
The Duggar sisters are absolutely correct. In Touch and Bauer Media Group make money, in part, by exploiting women and trafficking in content that sexually objectifies women. The young women in the Duggar family who were victims of sexual abuse by their brother were victimized a second time by a magazine that treated them, not as accidental collateral damage in their honest efforts to report a legitimate news story, but as an integral part of a business model based on sexual exploitation of women. They exploited the sexual abuse suffered by the Duggar sisters for money, pure and simple. And they’ve done it with countless other women over the years. Disgusting.

Yes the Phlorida Phucks are playing in the Hawk’s nest tonight.

Sorry
We diverge on that notion
But that’s life on this forum
Hockey in states like FL, TX and AZ just sounds wrong. Even CA is iffy.
May the harnessed power of the irma propel CHI to victory tonight!

What if you do not witness a crime, but hear about a crime ? Should you always call the authorities first and let them sort it out ? Is that what you always did ?
PSA Ping:
Those of you that get the “Movies” channel (it’s available OTA as well as on cable), there’s a wonderful treat on tomorrow at 8:00 pm Eastern:
“What if you do not witness a crime, but hear about a crime ? “
When I have reason to believe that a 15 year old male is fondling the vaginas of not one, not two, not three, but four of my prepubescent daughters, I’m calling the police.
I’m not saying I’m completely correct, but it is something I’ve considered, the why of it.
Also, maybe the Lord is using the gays to chasten the Duggars? I wonder if that’s even knowable.
But I can agree with you that the gays were in untold paroxysms of joy as the events unfolded.
As always, you are a forum member I respect so I thank you for the discourse!
I’m not sure that you are not right in general; it is that I can see the parents confronting this horrible tragedy and trying to save all their children. If it had not worked, then it is easy to look back and say they should have abandoned him to his fate. No doubt he deserved it. Is mercy, when it works, the better for the entire family, perps as well as victims ?
The same principle applies with abortion. A repentant woman who killed her unborn child need not be ostracized as she once was, or is that a mistake ?
Son...of...a..b***h...
I’m not one to change irmas midstream, but...
I soon as it was over I turned the channel in disgust, the first thing I came across was “Miami Vice” on Cozi TV.

Who is saying there is no forgiveness.Get him out of the house and leave it up to the girls that he abused if they want to be in his company again.End of story.
So you know Catholics who believe Protestants will be saved and go to heaven?
Because if you do, they're heretics. And if you don't, it's because Catholicism considers Protestantism to be a group of hundreds of cults.
Ted Bundy?
LOL, you just jumped the shark.
When you need to invoke that level of obscene lie, you've lost the argument. You're just another typical, mindlessly hateful feminist (but I repeat myself).
I think there are many saying no forgiveness, and they have a point. The sisters have a point too, and if they forgive him, which it seems they have, and he does not reoffend, I do not see any benefit to outing and tagging the family. Personally, I do not watch their show, nor am I interested; too much a history of Tammy Fae and Jim Bakker types on TV in that genre, and they do not even make great music. I just see an ugly tragedy that they faced and did the best they could to try to save their family. If he does not reoffend, I'm good with letting it be tender mercies.
Without evidence, real, direct evidence that something is now taking place, asking such a question with the implications you have done is obscene. It's vile, slanderous and hateful, and identifies you as utterly shameless. You've just shown a level of inhumanity that is breathtaking.
Ted Bundy?
LOL, you just jumped the shark.
I don’t even have my water skis on. No, I wasn’t comparing Josh’s crimes with Ted Bundy’s. Only that even absolutely heinous crimes like serial murder and rape of the corpses can be gotten away with for some time. No one around him knew he was a psycho killer. He was attractive and smart. That’s all. I wish I could jump Sharks with Fonzie but you got me wrong there.

Let's get this right. You are calling me
Obscene
Vile
Slanderous
Hateful
Utterly shameless
Inhuman
because I post on a message board that I am not sure if a young pedophile has given up, on his own, molesting children after multiple admitted counts. While he is in constant contact with little girls like the ones he molested.
Seems a bit much to attack me the way you have.
