20. It is not the culture, but what media reporting has become.
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 10:18 AM by Mass
Quoting named or anonymous sources without comments is enough. This is the new standard of objectivity. Dont try to fact check on the statement. Sadly, in this case, it is about quoting people putting the blame on the young girl without reminding the facts you quote at the end of the OP, but it is the same journalistic culture that led people to quote taxes statements from the GOP and the Democrats without any fact checking. It is very pervasive in our media.
