The Kelly McBride Incident
In March 2013 Poynter Institute had national exposure when their representative Kelly McBride, in a televised panel discussion on Josh Zepp’s program on HuffPost Live, was largely wordy and incoherent, but managed to seem to defend the behaviors of the convicted felons in the Steubenville High School rape case.
Other than publishing a column by McBride that inexplicably condemns the public outcry against CNN’s insensitivity in reporting on the rape case, Poynter Institute has made no comment explaining McBride’s comments on the HuffPost Live program.

Famous quotes containing the words mcbride and/or incident:
“I’m not an American hero. I’m a person that loves children.”
—Clara Mcbride Hale (1905–1992)
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
