Whitney Houston Admits Hitting Brown. But Who Cares?

Troy A. writes "In a recent much-hyped fluff interview with Whitney Houston, Diane Sawyer asks the following question: "Has [Bobby Brown] ever hit you?" Houston: "No. Never. I have hit him, in anger." [Note: this was in the video interview, not the article]. There is absolutely no follow up to this admission. It is immediately followed with a segment on Brown's risque music, drug use, accusations of affairs, etc. Later in the program Sawyer asks Brown directly if he's ever hit Houston, and his reply is given considerable inquiry and airtime. Apparently, even when a wife admits to abusing her husband, it isn't called what it is - domestic violence. In fact it's totally ignored. You can e-mail your protests via this page. On top of that, when I sent my thoughts on this via the web page, a Progressive Insurance ad popped up!"
