OK, just this once and we're through with her. Everywhere you look, there was her name in print and I wanted to see what it was about. It was TMI, but it seems to be just one more incident of Hollywood vs. conservatives. TD

"This is a classic case of how information is reported when it reflects badly on liberals."
"Let’s get the story straight. Here are the facts:"
Lena Dunham wrote a book about herself.
In that book, she wrote about exploring her baby sister’s genitals as a child as well as many other questionable acts. In the course of her writing, she used the words “sexual predator” to describe herself and her actions.
Kevin Williamson of National Review wrote an article about her book in which he quoted her.
Truth Revolt wrote an article about the book and quoted her.
Now Dunham is threatening to sue Truth Revolt for quoting her.
Almost every news outlet covering the story now is using headlines like:
Lena Dunham responds to right wing claims…
Lena Dunham responds to accusations…
Absolutely no one is making claims or accusations. They quoted her. From her own book. Which she wrote. In her own words.
...
"Some news and opinion sites on the left are actually defending Dunham.
"They should ask themselves how they’d report this story if it was about Bristol Palin."
NRO Editors: A Manifesto for Dysfunction " Dunham’s critics on the left, who have been surprising in number, have deployed the voguish language of “white privilege” to describe her inability to appreciate what exactly was wrong with that behavior. We are not comfortable with that particular phrase here, inasmuch as it conflates race with a cast of mind, as though moral blindness were a hereditary trait, but the underlying sentiment is approximately correct."
From early Tuesday: If Democrats Win Today, So Does Lena Dunham "On this important election day let us not forget that Lena Dunham, who once described herself as the voice of her generation, wants everyone to Rock the Vote. And you can be sure it’s not for Republicans.
"She didn’t vote in the last midterm election but what does that matter?" ...
