Sure. Though I thought the same, to some extent, of the OutsideOnline article that many of GM's defenders are submitting as a defence of him.
"So you’re saying you were new to the process, busy, and you were naive about how nonfiction is written. And they were sometimes saying, “Let’s tell it this way, it’s better”?"
... a college female basketball player who said she was raped by three male basketball players. ..... Why not approach them with a camera on the sidelines of the various courts where they are now blissfully shooting hoops and ask about their rapist tendencies?
I didn't see the segment, but a rape allegation is a really serious criminal matter and most experienced journalists will tread carefully around them. Whipping up a media frenzy against the accused before any trial may prejudice the proceedings and the outcome, causing an injustice far worse than anything GM has been up to. As in my previous post, despite any impropriety that may be shown on the part of GM, I doubt any of it will end up in a criminal court.
