"Controversial."

Quite a few news organisations are describing Roman Polanski as "The controversial Polish-French director" or some variant thereof. It seems a surprising description of someone who drugged and raped a 13 year old girl as most people tend to agree that this is a bad thing.

It's only controversial because he's a media luvvie. Which means in the eyes of the MSM that he's just misunderstood.

To a point, although I don't think Gery Glitter or even Chris Langham were treated as sympathetically as Polanski.

You know how it is, I mean, you drug and rape ONE 13 year-old child...

Yes. And he doesn't even get credit for all the 13 year olds he hasn't raped.
