Missouri TV Station Describes Rape Victims As ‘Controversial Characters’
By Igor Volsky on Oct 11, 2012 at 9:02 am
A local NBC affiliate in Missouri took issue with Sen. Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) new ads attacking Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO)’s “legitimate rape” remarks and his voting record. The campaign commercials “featured three Republican women who said they were rape victims and criticized Mr. Akin for his opposition to allowing sexual assault victims to have access to emergency contraception.”
An anchor on KOMU’s 5:00 PM news misquoted the women, described them as “controversial characters,” and falsely stated that they were “speaking out against McCaskill.” The network’s somewhat frustrated 10:00 PM anchor later apologized for the “errors”:
This is the GOP at work with their WAR ON WOMEN. Whomever gave that script to the lady reading it, because a true news reporter would have thought twice about parroting this bullshit on local or national tv, should be FIRED ON THE SPOT.
God help America if these republican cretins take over our government! While it will be terrible for all of us, it will assure women that they will be treated as the Taliban treats women. Of what possible earthly use is the GOP? They are nothing less than vile, brutish, thugs!
