Re: NY Times.... Getting worse and worse all the time
OH COME ON!
You haven't taken your anti-outrage prescriptions like you should lately, DonC?

This is the article in question. Two of the paragraphs there are the basis of your outrage. What do they say? First, it's a description of the girl's habits. The second is a quote from a resident who disapproves of the behaviour of the mother.
How you managed to turn a rather standard article into your OP is quite frankly beyond me.

Re: NY Times.... Getting worse and worse all the time
You're seriously okay with a nationally syndicated newspaper writing an article about an 11 year old rape victim that focuses on the girl's behavior and on the parenting skills? Even their public editor, the guy named Brisbane, agrees they were out of line.
Yet surprise, surprise, you're here defending them. Shocked, shocked I tell you....

No, I would absolutely not defend an article that focused on her behaviour and her parents.
But I am defending an article that doesn't focus on her bevahiour and her parents.
