Articel here. Excerpt:

'We knew the Oscars would be filled with propaganda, but before the awards show even started, singer Lady Gaga pushed a debunked statistic to scare viewers and make her appearance more powerful.

Gaga was there to perform her Oscar-nominated song called "Til It Happens to You," which appeared in the film "The Hunting Ground," which features still more dubious statistics and accusations of campus sexual assault.

"It's such an important song for me," Gaga said prior to the awards show. "One in five women will be raped before they finish college."

No, they won't.'
