I understand why people defend Jennette almost reflexively here and are so quick to criticise Ariana - even if we take into account that this is a Seddie board and therefore predisposed to liking Jennette.

A lot of the coverage of Jennette leading up to this has been unfairly criticising her and has been unfairly laying all of the blame for the fall of S&C at her feet - in particular: Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon only got criticism from the pure news and business sites; Ariana almost never gets criticism from the Entertainment sites; but Jennette gets criticised everywhere. We here know that she deserves some of the blame, but it she's not the only one who deserves blame. Therefore, we as a group are more likely to be defencive.

Moreover, the coverage of Ariana largely makes her look like she's in the running for Sainthood. Thus, it is logical that we would seize on her lapses more quickly and judge her more harshly. We all should keep this in mind. One massive problem with the media coverage is that it has subtly portrayed McCurdians as morally deficient compared to Arianators and Dan Schneider fans. This makes my blood boil and I can tell virtually everyone else here feels it too. In particular, the accusations I read here about Nick's and Disney's shows that can be corroborated independently of the entertainment media horrifies me. That's why I want Jennette to duck out of the public eye and go to school so that she can find herself.
