Here is the link which will in a few hours have the audio posted so it can be discussed.

I listen to NPR pretty often. Even though when it comes to political topics it sucks, it does have some very interesting pieces on things that would rarely be reported on. Also, Car Talk is hilarious. However, this short interview with Emily Renda (might have got that wrong) was just plain old poor journalism. Most importantly, though, were the things this counselor said. She mentions that traumatic memories are stored differently (I won't argue that, it's been researched a lot) and so they are accessed by the brain differently. Now this by itself may be true but what she says after is appalling. She says along the lines of, "For this reason, I am not surprised that [rape victim]'s account of the rape will change over time." She is basically saying that even though the story will change and facts will become falsified, we should still trust the "victim's" account without question. I'm going off memory here, so until the audio is published I won't try and write anymore, but the things this counselor says had me laughing and disgusted at the same time. The journalist then ends it with some crappy statement about RS retracting part of their statement, making it sound like RS's integrity is at fault for this stories problems.

The comments were slightly refreshing on the link which was reassuring, especially on a site like NPR.

On mobile so bear with any errors.
