Quoted in a sensationalist story about a violent video game, "media psychiatrist" Carole Lieberman said that these video games trigger rapes. Instead of simply ridiculing the expert, however, Wired's Jason Schreier set out to find studies or literature to support this belief and contacted Lieberman for elaboration. The result? Lieberman ridiculing herself, not only unable to name a study, but unable to name a single relevant video game: "Obviously I know what I'm talking about or I wouldn't be called upon to testify in front of Congress."
