I'm not saying O'Reilly's guilty, only a jury can decide that, but I expect if he settles for an unmentioned sum that she's got lots of evidence and witnesses on him. The Drudge Report is trying to suggest that her student loan and credit card debt are her motive, please. If that were the case we'd have rampant sexual harrassment cases, her debt's pretty damn average and to pretend it's not is misleading Americans who are yet clueless about the debt 20 - 40 somethings carry. It was the credit card loving 90s...
Once again I'm appauled at the coverage of this case. When isn't a woman's "motive" for charging a man questioned? It's so odd to question the victim; men are known to be far more aggressive and brutal than women (and are often proud of that) but the assumption is that all men are well behaved (even the likes of Mike Tyson, Woody Allen, and Bill O'Reilly!?!?) and women either make-up or bring on abuse themselves.
It becomes apparent that the press isn't giving us news. We don't learn anything about sexual harassment cases in America, the process, the statistics, the history, in short, THE FACTS, instead we get hearsay about the alleged victim and accused.
The press grossly abuses their privilege to use public airwaves, and to call themselves "news."
I've got to stop blogging and place an ad before the election is over...
