Sexual predators as viewed by Katie Couric.
How does an ultra-liberal media princess view sexual predators that target children? Ms. Couric shows her true colors in response to a 5 minute video teaser for the Dateline NBC special on on-line child sexual predators? The video is viewable here (scroll down and look for "Dateline investigates computer predators"). You will see several minutes of video of adult men who think they've arranged to meet and have sex with a 13 y/o boy that they've initiated contact with in an Internet chat room. One man is a Rabbi. Another a special education teacher. One man in the special strips completely naked and waits in the kitchen for the "boy" to come in. These men represent the most evil and reprehensible segment of society.
Ms. Couric introduces the video and the anchor, Chris Hansen, and the video begins. Immediately following the video, Mr. Hansen details what else will be covered in the special report. Ms. Couric then follows with her comments. What is Ms. Couric's reaction to the sickening video? Disgust? No. Outrage? No. Sympathy? Yes. But is this sympathy directed toward the untold number of victims of child molestation? NO! Her immediate reaction is sympathy for the men who were there to have sex with a 13 y/o boy! The first words out of her mouth were, and I quote, "You know just watching that kind of makes you sick to your stomach because you in some ways feel terrible for these men that they got themselves in this situation." No Ms. Couric, I in no way feel terrible for these men. How can someone have such messed up morals as to react in favor of a sexual predator instead of their prey?
The great folks over at Perverted Justice made this special possible. They run an awesome web-site and you should seriously consider supporting them. Go check them out and if you feel, as I do, that their cause is worthwhile, give them your support.
That is all.
