Duke Lacrosse
Karen Russell at Huffington Post writes about the Duke lacrosse rape scandal (HuffPo)
I'm also wondering what we should call her? Victim? Accuser? Single mom? Exotic dancer? Part-time student? Stripper? If you are Tucker Carlson, you call her a "crypto-hooker" and if you are Rush Limbaugh, she's a "ho".
Nothing like fair, balanced reporting, or that un-American concept "innocent until proven guilty." There are many unanswered questions about this case. I read reports about the woman, then more reports about the team and the party and I come out confused. I am not sure what to think, but to uncategorically blame one side in this is reprehensible. It appeals to the worst of our sensibilities. Until all the facts are known, I think it behoves anyone with half a brain to keep an open mind.
