Thousands Sign Petition Demanding CNN Apology
This morning FTVLive called CNN's reporting of the Steubenville rape case the worst we have ever seen.
It looks like over 40,000 people agree with us. The number is growing fast of the people have signed a petition calling on CNN to apologize for its coverage of the Steubenville rape trial.
CNN's crew, lead by Reporter Poppy Harlow, talked about how the poor rapists have had their life ruined. by the verdict handed down by the judge. It was almost unbelievable some of the things she was saying about the rapists.
The petition, which was posted to Change.org, had received over 40,000 signatures by early Monday afternoon.
Here's the video of CNN's report:
CNN broke the news on Sunday of a guilty verdict in a rape case in Steubenville, Ohio by lamenting that the "promising" lives of the rapists had been ruined, but spent very little time focusing on how the 16-year-old victim would have to live with what was done to her.
