We haven’t talked about this much in The Corner yet re the Kobe Bryant case: Should a rape accuser’s name be shielded from the media, thereby granting her an automatic credibility? There’s an unfairness about it, if the woman turns out to be lying, but there is something inherently good about the paternalistic attitude, wanting to protect a woman who has possibly been horribly violated. Maggie Gallagher has a good column, along those lines, on the media policy. Cathy Young approaches it differently, but is absolutely right when it comes to the law, I think. Curious what others think.
