Slate mocked for republishing piece asking if pedophilia is crime or illness following Jackson doc premiere



Slate used a recent documentary about Michael Jackson to republish a 15-year-old article asking whether or not pedophiles should be punished. The article was written by Dahlia Lithwitck and noted that we have 'never quite known whether child molesters should be treated as sick people or punished as criminals.' NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck, as well as hundreds of social media users ridiculed Slate for republishing the article.
