"They exploited her, and it's not ok.". ...... this is true, she was exploited, as was Helen of Troy.
they exploit all archetypal characters or actions which can be sensationalised.... and the right wing media who condemn her exploit her for their own benefit of adding leverage to gain credibility.
you're right to highlight, albeit unintentionally, the fault of the various media in this - its not about the people caught in the beliefs.
