We all know that Miranda rights are important. They\u2019re a staple in every episode of Law & Order. They\u2019re a quick and concise way of making a person aware of their rights. But how did we get Miranda rights? Well, it\u2019s complicated. And it all started with a world-class douchebag named Ernesto Miranda.\xa0\n
\n\nThen, Kristin tells us about anchorwoman Christine Craft. Christine was good at her job. By the time she was hired to co-anchor the evening news in Kansas City, she\u2019d proven herself as a talented reporter and a hard worker. But Christine was no dummy. She knew that women news anchors get unfairly judged for their looks. So before she took the job in Kansas City, she told the station management that she wasn\u2019t looking for a makeover. They assured her they were hiring her for her journalistic talent. They were full of shit.\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
