Ethics of the Kobe Bryant case
This whole situation is getting so crazy it's not even funny. From 'friends' of the girl going on Good Morning America and the like to the girl hiring her own PR firm, this is a media free for all. In fact, on one of the morning shows this morning, someone slipped and gave the girls first name. Now, her full name is floating around in some newsgroups. I'm not going to say the name because that is irresponsible, but it is available out there if you want to find it for some reason.
Now here's some questions that I would like to pose: Do you think that the media is handling this case responsibly? Do you think that the accuser's name should be released (remember she is an adult)? Is this whole thing being blown out of proportion?
I think that the media is doing a crappy job on this story. They are making a big deal about interviewing seemingly insignificant friends (some who support and don't support the girl), they fucked up and let some interviewee say her first name, and I even heard that they are going to the girl's house trying to scope it out. I just think that this is way too much and we should just wait for the DA's decision. If they charge Kobe, then let the public judgements fall where it may. For now, Kobe is innocent until proven guilty, and he deserves that given his flawless track record. But, the girl also deserves not to be identified and bothered as well.
