CNN Should Apologize for Sympathizing With Steubenville Rapists

CNN should be ashamed of itself, and should apologize for making the Steubenville rapists out to be the victims rather than perpetrators of a heinous, violent sexual crime.

Why is this important?

On Sunday, March 17, 2013, CNN broke the news that the Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond had been found guilty of the rape of a 16 year old unconscious girl. Rather than celebrating the fact that justice had been served, CNN then spent the next six minutes lamenting the fact that these boys' lives were ruined. CNN was perpetuating our society's rape culture by sympathizing with rapists rather than the victim. See the video here:
