NOT FOX!
The Propaganda Station that caters to a mindless audience lacking the God-given brains and ethics they may have been born with just couldn't stop.
Please add your name and speak out.
The 16-year-old survivor of the Steubenville
rape case has already been through enough. She didn't need her name revealed to
millions of people nationwide.

Fox News: Apologize for Revealing Steubenville Victim's Name! |
The Steubenville rape case has been making headlines all over the nation. I can't imagine how horrifying it must be for the survivor to have such a painful event continuously discussed all over the country. But for major news outlets to announce the 16-year-old victim's name on air to millions of people isn't just insensitive -- it's disgustingly unethical.
Fox News publicly pledged not to disclose the names of the teens just convicted in the Steubenville, Ohio rape case. But yesterday, the network instead revealed the identity of the underaged victim. Since then, two people have already been arrested for making death threats against her.
While Fox News has gone out of its way to protect those convicted of rape -- teens whose names had already been publicly disclosed by the court -- it has shamefully and carelessly failed to do the same for the victim.
This is a horrible precedent for Fox News to set when reporting about sexual violence, particularly when the victims are minors. Publicity like this only serves to further stigmatize the violence survivors, who are already facing unbelievable trauma.
This must never happen again. Tell Fox News to apologize immediately for revealing the
Steubenville victim's name!
