At Least 200,000 People Want CNN to Apologize for Its Sympathetic Steubenville Covera

Re: CNN takes side of rapists, viewers demand apology

Wow, I just watched the report in question, and that was awful coverage. They raped a young girl, and whether they were drunk or not means absolutely nothing!! I've never seen this kind of sympathy from a news source. How incredibly insensitive to the family of the victim?

Actually, the drunk thing does mean something. It should be known to the general public that being wasted does not excuse your actions, or make it ok to have sex with a person who would otherwise have a choice if they were not passed out. Too many people consider alcohol a great way to increase their likelihood of getting in someone's privates. It also seems that certain people feel unconcious means yes.
