(2014/12/19) A guide to doing it all wrong (The UVA Story - Rape Culture) - a podcast by BestOfTheLeft.com
from 2014-12-20T00:00
Edition #885
Today we take a look at the fallout from a badly reported case of rape at a UVA frat house. Rolling Stone seemed to be trying to help but with a completely upside-down approach of how to expose the problems of rape culture, compounded by one journalistic blunder after another, they only succeeded in making the problem worse.
