CNN owes answers on rape film

Article here. Excerpt:

'Thrasher, and many others in academia, are upset about a film called "The Hunting Ground" that CNN has scheduled to air Sunday at 8 p.m.

The film bills itself as a documentary on campus rape, an obviously complex and controversial subject worthy of impartial exploration.

But that's not what you'll get Sunday night if you tune in. Don't take our word for it. Take it from the horse's mouth, one of the film's producers.

"We do not operate the same way as journalism," wrote producer Amy Herdy, of Chain Camera Pictures. She made the statement in an email to Erica Kinsman, who in 2012 accused then-FSU quarterbackJameis Winston of rape. The producer's goal was to secure an interview.

"This is a film project that is very much in the corner of advocacy for victims, so there would be no insensitive questions or the need to get the perpetrator's side," Herdy wrote in the email, which FSU obtained through its litigation with Kinsman.'
