Is CNN Soft on Rapists? Steubenville Coverage Sparks Debate

A chorus of online critics has taken aim at CNN for its allegedly sympathetic coverage of two convicted rapists in Steubenville, Ohio. But the controversy raises a broader question over how to cover teenage rapists and a teenage victim in the age of social media.

CNN had no official comment, except to note privately that viral petitions sometimes have a life of their own and start “feeding on itself” whether or not the issue is valid.

Meanwhile two insiders at CNN exclusively told TheWrap that the controversy had hit reporter Poppy Harlow, covering the events in Steubenville, particularly hard.

“Poppy is taking this extremely personally as a woman,” said one executive. “She’s outraged that someone would think she’d do such a thing” as slant her coverage toward rapists. “It’s gotten so out of control.”

1. How can one be 'outraged' at other people's opinions?

Unless she's in denial.

One can disagree, of course, but 'outraged'?

3. Don't want to have to "take things personally," Poppy? Don't say stupid shit on camera.

There you go: problem solved.
