An interesting article (though maybe the title is a little harsh) available here, at Newhounds. Below are excerpts:
Natalee Holloway is lucky she is not around to make accusations against anybody who may have done her harm. Why? Just look what has happened to the woman who says members of the Duke lacrosse team gang-raped her. Fox News has turned her into the criminal, attacking her credibility and rallying to the defense of the white privileged defendants in the case. It’s all about the underlying political agenda of Fox News. …
…Fox News recognizes only two kinds of women — victims and sexual deviants/whores. Natalee Holloway represents the first kind. In Fox News’ world view, we can feel sorry for her because she has been a victim of the dangerous outside world. More importantly, we can feel sorry for her because she is no longer around to level charges against her accusers. Suppose Natalee Holloway had been able to escape her attackers that night and go to the police with her story of what happened? Then Natalee Holloway would have slipped from the category of victim to sexual deviant — the same Fox News category that encompasses the alleged victim in the Duke lacrosse gang rape case, the female teachers who have sex with their students, and most progressive women politicians, such as Hillary Clinton and Dianne Feinstein. …
Via Echidne. NB: Certainly we would all rather have Natalee alive, despite the rhetorical suggestion otherwise.
