Keith Olberman’s apology, via his twitter:
Rape has touched my family, directly and savagely, and if anybody thinks I have addressed it without full sensitivity, then that assessment is the one that counts, and I apologize. But these accusations that I “revealed” an accuser’s identity by retweeting Bianca Jagger’s link, or that I ‘shamed’ an accuser by asking...

Red Light Politics: Why I won't be "coming out" as... →

However, I cannot, I will not be complicit in the misappropriation of the “coming out” narrative that belongs to one of the most collectively oppressed people in...
