Editor & Publisher asks...

That the US (and the culpable media) were trying to make the heinous slightly less bad by disguising the true age of the rape victim? Not that raping/murdering a 20 year old is OKAY, but that raping and murdering a child is really REALLY vile.

Or are you being ironic?

Sorry for the confusion...
