In reply to the discussion: Shame on CNN: Apologize for Steubenville coverage = PETITION [View all]maggiesfarmer
(297 posts)40. link to the segment in question?
I didn't see the segment in question here, but I watch a fair amount of CNN coverage. I saw Poppy Harlow's updates on the morning show the last several days and didn't leave with the impression this post suggests she's been conveying. I know I've heard that one recording on CNN ("but she's not my daughter" enough times to make me sick -- sure didn't seem sympathetic for the boys.
Not saying the OP or linked movement is wrong, just saying I didn't see the segment being discussed and didn't get the impression there was any spin towards "boys as victims" here.
