CNN Nancy Grace Blooper: Confuses Duke Lacrosse Scores With Rape Statistics

Two years ago, the Duke University men’s lacrosse team found itself entrenched within a rape scandal after a stripper accused three of the team’s players of raping her at a house party.

 

A year later, the charges were dropped, and the three students walked away scot-free.

 

Still, the memory of that case lives on today through this video that has been recently making its rounds again in the blogosphere—for whatever reason.

 

In it, CNN’s Nancy Graces goes on the warpath against the three alleged rapists before turning it over to her fellow correspondent who confuses the national rape statistics with the team’s sports prospects.

 

Journalism at its finest.

Since there was no rape in this case, but there were athletic games played... the joke is obvious.

Nancy Grace was too clueless to see she was being insulted, by having her irrational statements ignored the way one would treat a child who was behaving badly.

Will someone please tell nANCY DIS-grace she was wrong and admit it. She owes an apology to the the three wrongfully accused players, the rest of the team, the listening public,
and the former listening public. CNN is the only network that deserves her.
