I just reviewed this thread and man.. what a great thread. You never realize how good the discussions we have here get at the time. Bravo to everyone.

I quoted the above though, not to really pick on SOM, who is a great contributor, but just to highlight some of the pants-shitting which goes in the media. The Jackie case didn't set back the rape dialogue one iota. What it did highlight was that we, the media included, need to take a step back, wait for both sides to come out and not to immediately rush to the conclusion that the sky is falling.
