Kennedy

Can we please stop it with the trope, "The Media gave Ted Kennedy a pass when it came to Chappaquiddick." They did? Really? Gave him a pass? Can anyone over the age of 30 think "Ted Kennedy" without also getting a glimmer of "Mary Jo Kopechne?" No. No, you can't. So while the JUSTICE system may have failed Mary Jo, and the Kennedys sure as shit failed Mary Jo, I really don't think anyone can accuse the media of failing her, nor of giving Kennedy a pass regarding her.
