Arizona House candidate says she was raped while out fixing campaign signs
Bernadette Greene-Placentia was fixing campaign signs in Sun City, Arizona, in August when two men attacked her from behind, she said.
What the coverage shows
Both BBC News and 60 Minutes lead with Bernadette Greene-Placentia’s account of being raped or sexually assaulted while repairing or fixing a campaign sign, and both identify her as an Arizona congressional candidate. BBC News foregrounds that her memory is “spotty” and that she says she was knocked unconscious, details that do not appear in the 60 Minutes extract. 60 Minutes uniquely adds that she told the Phoenix New Times and describes her as a Democratic candidate for Congress.
