Carol Costello: Lena Dunham ‘Rape’ Takes ‘Ugly Turn’ After Her Account’s Questioned

Carol Costello: Campus Rape Issue Takes 'Ugly Turn' With Lena Dunham Critics (NewsBusters)

Carol Costello, who got a kick out of the assault on Bristol Palin, lamented on Thursday's CNN Newsroom that "the national conversation surrounding sexual assault on campus has taken kind of an ugly turn. It's become this he-said, she-said politically-tinged fight." Costello cited the attention on Lena Dunham's rape claim in her memoir as an example.

The anchor also spotlighted how conservative blog RedState attacked the left-wing TV producer on Wednesday (it should be pointed out that the anchor did not censor RedState's curse word, nor did CNN bleep her when she read the quote).
