Call of Duty Black Ops Voted ‘Best Game Ending’ Of All Time

Cooper Lawrence, the woman who bashed Mass Effect recently on Fox News for its supposed pornographic-esque sex scene, has admitted she was wrong in the New York Times.
While you frequently hear about people (experts) bashing videogames, it isnt common when one of them actually admits they were wrong. Yesterday, I made a post about the Cooper Lawrence/Fox News/Geoff Keighley incident, where Mass Effect was described as depicting full digital nudity and sex amongst other inaccuracies. Well, it seems that Cooper Lawrence has admitted she was wrong in the New York Times, saying
I recognize that I misspoke. I really regret saying that, and now that Ive seen the game and seen the sex scenes its kind of a joke.
Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said its like pornography. But its not like pornography. Ive seen episodes of Lost that are more sexually explicit.
Yay! I am so glad to hear that. While it was still wrong for her to talk about a subject in which she obviously had no knowledge about, this will certainly help redeem her (at least in my eyes). People *bleep* up, but it certainly isnt as common as one making a mistake as it is when one admits doing so.
As for the others on this specific Fox News program .
You could learn from her.

But yes, good to see she's at least tried to fix the problem.
Now if only she could get back on Fox and set the record straight on TV in front of all the people who watch her.
As far as I can tell, this is simply a bs pr combover in an attempt to distract people from the fact that she has not apologized.
It is because of people like her that my children are not allowed in some people's homes because they hear that video games are all bad and since I work in the game industry I must be one of the amoral types who want kids to play the "hot coffee" patch of GTA SA.
I won't be satisfied until she spends at least one day with people in the game industry on her radio show, which is on M-F 7p-10p and can be reached at 877-6-cooper
