Yep...if this didn't strengthen my reason not to like these media outlets before, it definitely has now.

Then again, as I said on my own journal about this:
You know what? I'm totally fed up with the victim blaming that society, let alone the media, pulls on victims of crime and abuse. The ONLY fucking time where I don't see any victim blaming going on is when someone is actually murdered, which says something to me. Had this girl been murdered by these boys after they raped her, you better bet your damn asses that these dipshit reporters and victim blaming assholes wouldn't be bitching about how these two young football stars lives are now ruined.

In fact, these very same people would be raising hell about the opposite about how these two boys should suffer if they had actually murdered this girl as people in India raised hell when that rape victim that was brutually gang raped on that bus died as a result of her injuries from the attack. It's interesting, yet sickening imo, how perspective changes when someone actually dies compared to when someone is still alive to tell their ordeal. Of course, they get blamed if that happens which makes me wonder where the fuck the priorities are in society as well as the media.
