Coverage You Can Count On

Check out this headline from a German news site: "Heidelberg Woman Bites Rapist's Penis And Escapes." Did you notice something? (Besides being reminiscent of this incident.) The editors at The Local actually used the word "rapist" to describe the attacker. Imagine that. It's a concept seemingly foreign to other news organizations. Good on you, German news eds, for not mincing words!
