Anderson Cooper on the Steubenville Rape Case [View all]

He just spent the first 15 minutes of his show defending the rape victim and appropriately pointing out the guilt of the perpetrators. Guess he's trying to make up for the awful reporting of Candy Crowley and Poppy Harlow yesterday.

Glad to see Anderson do this as I usually view him as a good reporter on human affairs and social issues, but I still think Crowley and Harlow have some apologizing to do.
