Yes, Oleannas - I get the rage over their (non) coverage of Cologne even now.
They maintained a news blackout for getting on for a week. Then they systematically underestimated the number of attacks by a factor of between 5 and 10 relative to other sources (reputable sources - I checked out the Frankfurter Allgemeine, Die Zeitung, New York Times, Washington Post). Then they commissioned one of their female columnists to write one of the shittiest pieces of victim blaming I've ever seen, basically saying "well, if western women will go around flaunting their mobile phones, what do they expect?"
Now I totally get the need for caution and careful reporting. "They [unspecified racial other ] are over here raping our women" is one of the oldest tropes in wartime and peacetime propaganda. So it's quite easy for reports of this sort of thing to have a lot to do with racism, so you have to fact-check. And one of the reasons it's such a prevalent trope is because it's very often true - except that of course "they are raping our women" should be supplemented with "and what's more when the circs are reversed, we rape their women" (see behaviour of UN peacekeeping troops in Bosnia and countless other countries, for instance). Add to that the fact that as Julie Bindel once wrote in an excoriating article, rape might as well be legal given the chances are next to zero of you managing to report, get it through the police and CPS gatekeeping without it being "no-crimed", then get a conviction, given that men can apparently have sex with paralytically drunk women they've never even spoken to, accidentally fall penis first into women's vaginas (again drunk and unconscious women), leave women bleeding from their vaginas and in tears, and apparently juries still think the men in question could have reasonable belief in the woman's consent. So yes, rape is commonplace, carried out by men of all colours, nationalities and religions, frequently used as a weapon of war, or as a means of one male group sending a statement to another male group via "violating their women...", and rarely punished, if at all.
None of this changes the fact that what happened in Cologne was horrific, and should have been reported accurately, and that a decent follow-up op-ed piece would have discussed Taharrush Gamea as a form of what anthropologists call "corrective rape" (in this case applied to women who have the temerity to step into public spaces), as something which happens in Middle Eastern culture (and which many people in the Middle East are fighting against), and which up until the events of Cologne had not been seen in most of western Europe since WWII (this sort of rape as a weapon of war was horrifyingly widely used during the Balkan genocide).
