Four women in Wisconsin caused a tidal wave of media coverage when they decided to take revenge on a man that was allegedly seeing many of them behind their back by supergluing his reproductive organ to his stomach.
This has hit local, state, national and even international news. Can’t say I agree too much with what the women did but the dude wasn’t really setting himself up as an angel. It was interesting to see the mind of a reporter take hold of the story… though it did feel like we were covering something from Jerry Springer.
Angenette Levy decided to look at the other side of the issue and ask whether there’s a double-standard in a case like this. Would people have cared the same if it was four men doing something to a woman? Would people be laughing then?
Just a note but I thought it was interesting that many women we tried speaking to declined an on-camera interview… I wonder if they would have spoken if it was four males?
One counseling service we called laughed at the story and another one found some serious issues behind it. I got to see Angenette’s skills in action to get both sides of the issue. This showed me that a reporter’s career really is about showing both sides of an issue… this case serves as a great example.
Watch @Angenette5 at 10pm. You’ll see great reporting in action.
What’s your take? Is what they did worth the possible 6 years in prison?
