Ray Rice Makeup Tutorial Learn all about how to cover up domestic violence just like the NFL and get a fresh face for fall. (DV trigger warnings).
"Orange you sad that the American news source most dedicated to truthful journalism turned out to be TMZ."
Good point. It kind of passed me by that everyone else in the media ignored a video of a man dragging his unconscious fiance from an elevator and hoped the story would go away because the NFL can hurt them if they actually do their jobs.

I expected to see something like this video about domestic violence using the makeup tutorial format, but it turned out to be very different!

That's kind of what I was expecting, too, but this is much better. Thanks for sharing!

devious truculent and unreliable: "Orange you sad that the American news source most dedicated to truthful journalism turned out to be TMZ."Proof of that accusation? I mean, maybe I missed something, but AFAICT no one has suggested that ABC News and The Drudge Report had access to the tape prior to TMZ's exposé.

Now, the NFL is accused of just that - ignoring the tape - but smearing news agencies without the slightest proof, that's weapons-grade paranoia that can do no good in the world.

Twenty five years is the penalty in New Jersey for first degree assault. But we aren't going to make him serve it. Because he plays football!
Google tells me it's 5-10 years but other than this small detail it's an excellent point delivered with precision rhetoric.

Yeah, I didn't want to spoil it by saying what it really was, because one of the things that was most powerful/funny to me was the experience of watching it unfold.

It looks like it's 25 years in Maryland, which is what she said, and also where Baltimore is.

True, but the elevator assault happened in New Jersey. Either way, he's not going to serve it because he plays football.

Proof of that accusation?
I don't have any.
Its just that I saw cctv footage of Ray Rice dragging his unconscious fiance from an elevator and it was pretty shocking, and it was a story for a few days and then it just went away. No-one followed it up.
Like Megan MacKay, I'm surprised that TMZ got that second video from inside the elevator when there a lot of good journalists in the US who didn't.
Then I supposed, without evidence, that since most news organisations don't want to piss off the NFL they just didn't bother to find out what happened to Janae Rice in the elevator.
That is supposition, isnt it ? Not proof at all.
It's just weird to think that TMZ is the American news source most dedicated to truthful journalism. I've never thought of them that way before.
Didnt they get that fight between Jay Z and his sister-in-law in the elevator too ? Maybe cctv of elevator violence is their USP.

Really? I thought the "How to look your best the morning after" video was genuinely disturbing, and a hell of a lot more effective.

devious truculent and unreliable: It's just weird to think that TMZ is the American news source most dedicated to truthful journalism. I've never thought of them that way before.You're overstating their goal.
TMZ is the American news source most dedicated (or nearly so) to finding web-media-based celebrity scandals. They RDGAF about whether or not Governor Christie has ties to the asphalting company that paved over his latest gaffe.
But if you have a video of Brad Pitt picking his nose, or a football star beating his wive, they're on it STAT. And they probably pay a lot better than ABC news, if you're selling.
