Los reporteros de WaPo y CNN provocan una reacción masiva con los tuits de ‘Kobe fue un violador’
¿Qué tipo de persona sensata se sentiría obligada a llamar a Kobe Bryant violador y destruir su legado en las horas posteriores al devastador accidente de helicóptero que dejó a la leyenda de la NBA y su hija, Gianna, muertas? Como era de esperar, la respuesta a esa pregunta son los periodistas del personal de CNN y el Washington Post, entre otros medios de comunicación.
Bryant y su hija se dirigían a un partido de baloncesto de viaje. Las víctimas del accidente también incluyeron a otro jugador y un padre. Pero eso no impidió que Felicia Somnez, del Washington Post, enviara un tweet controvertido recordando al mundo sobre el «perturbador» caso de violación de Bryant. El tweet fue eliminado, pero el Daily Mail conservó y publicó una captura de pantalla .
Sonmez dijo que recibió amenazas de muerte después de publicar el tweet y agregó que fue inundada con más de 10,000 mensajes de acoso e insultos a raíz de su tweet.
Nos resulta difícil creer que ella no anticipó esta reacción. Y desafortunadamente para ella, esta jugada de simpatía después de las consecuencias definitivamente ha fracasado.
Por supuesto, Bryant es un ‘violador’ en el momento de su muerte, pero Fidel Castro era simplemente «dictador cubano»: ¿dónde estaban los recordatorios de las atrocidades cometidas por su gobierno?
Forum Non@ForumNonHi Felicia. Any comment on why these two didn’t get the same treatment?
Como era de esperar, un reportero de Buzzfeed tuiteó exactamente lo mismo.

Según el Mail, Sonmez, una reportera política en WaPo, ha sido suspendida de su cargo.
En respuesta a las afirmaciones de Sonmez de que simplemente recordaba el legado de Bryant «en su totalidad», un usuario de Twitter fue directo al corazón de por qué su tweet enfureció a miles de personas.
La reacción fue igual de intensa después de que Nathan McDermott de CNN tuiteó sobre la «acusación de violación muy creíble» hecha contra Bryant, sin mencionar que los cargos fueron retirados y la víctima admitió que tuvo relaciones sexuales con otro hombre menos de un día después del incidente. incidente con Bryant.

Yes Kobe Bryant was one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he’s also faced a very credible rape accusation where the woman was choked and submitted to a rape-kit test which found injuries “not consistent with consensual sex.”https://www.thedailybeast.com/kobe-bryants-disturbing-rape-case-the-dna-evidence-the-accusers-story-and-the-half-confession …

Think whatever you want about him, but if you think this is immaterial and shouldn’t be talked about in the aftermath of his death, well, I think you’re wrong.
Even reporters with obscure sports media organizations managed to incite a massive backlash (and boost their own profile) with their critical Kobe tweets. One reporter with College Hockey News decried the «sick» people on twitter for inundating her with insults after she had the «audacity» to suggest that «sexual assault victims deserve compassion too» in the hours after the crash.
We can have multiple feelings – be heartbroken over a tragic death, send thoughts & prayers to a family and also hold compassion for survivors

You people are incredibly sick and have a true talent for truly not interpreting things correctly. You’re way off base here for many reasons and you can also keep your thoughts to yourself because no one asked you https://t.co/BbifKKsXp3

Actress Evan Rachel Wood called Bryant a «rapist».
#EvanRachelWould✔@evanrachelwood
What has happened is tragic. I am heartbroken for Kobe’s family.
He was a sports hero. He was also a rapist.
And all of these truths can exist simultaneously.
Wes Hatton@weshatton99Your gonna turn #MeToo into a joke. These things need to be taken seriously and your just looking for attention after him and his daughter JUST died. Wow. ERW, Amazing Actress, shes also an narcissistic disappointment.
And there’s the random smattering of radical feminists and #MeToo fanatics.

Lauren Hough✔@laurenthehough
In before the eulogies begin: Kobe Bryant was a fucking rapist.
John Overholt@john_overholtIt looks like the account that tweeted this had to delete for harassment, so I’ll just quote it. “My thoughts are with Kobe Bryant’s rape victim who will spend the next week hearing about how beloved and great her rapist was.”
Vikas Muralidharan@vikas_murali«Omg what Kobe Bryant rapist ah?»
This is why «separate the art from the artist» sucks. It entails glorifying the art and ensures erasing the crimes of the artists from public memory.
Keep saying it. Never forger it.
Kobe was a legendary sportsman. He was also a rapist.
As a reminder of how much Bryant meant to millions of fans:
Jamie Hernandez@jamiebhernandezWant to know what Kobe Bryant meant to LA? My neighbor who loves playing basketball has been out here like this for a good 20 minutes with his Lakers basketball. #RIPMAMBA
Oh, and let’s not forget the New York Times, LA Times and other media organizations highlighting Bryant’s «complicated» legacy. WaPo also caught some flack for describing Bryant as a «controversial» figure in the opening paragraphs of its obituary.
Comfortably Smug@ComfortablySmugWashington Post treated Soleimani and Al Baghdadi with more respect than they gave Kobe
¿Quieres mostrar compasión por los ‘sobrevivientes’ que viven con trauma? ¿Qué tal mostrar algo de compasión por la familia Bryant y los millones de personas devastadas por la muerte de Bryant y su hija de 13 años?
Demasiado para el tolerante, compasivo, izquierdo …
