It created a chilling question that still divides America today: Was Patty Hearst a victim of brainwashing, or did this California college student willingly become an armed terrorist?

This is an interesting story, and the coverage is alright. Sometimes I feel like there's some irresponsible journalistic coverage? A bit of hearsay or dramatic speculation that makes for good drama, but isn't really appropriate for a real historic story.
