Discussion: The Wrap's Editor Apologizes For Op-Ed That Slammed Cosby Rape Accusers

Discussion for article #230506

I’m done with this whole story. There’s no way to try to take a rational, reasonable position that doesn’t throw people on one side or the other or both into a terrific hissy fit.

Yes, one should base all their decisions on whether or not it will upset one group or another. Democrats have been doing that for years.

Cosby’s lawyer asked why these people didn’t come forward decades ago when the incidents happened. Attacks like this had a lot to do with the decisions these women made. Of course we’ve come a long way in the last 4 decades, right?

I understand wanting to be unbiased and hear all sides.

What I don’t understand is the comment from the article “A DNA swab on most of Cosby’s detractors if done today would most likely come up exceedingly dry.” Um, screw this guy.

I also have an issue with, as the author states, that IF the events occurred the victims were the ones who failed because it was their responsibility to make a timely report. 2 of the supposed victims did.

This guy was all about “blaming the media”. Maybe he should have just kept it about ethics in jounalism. /snark off

Criticism of media, my ass.

That guy wasn’t trying to be “fair” in his treatment of this story – he was being an obviously biased, hateful a-hole about it.

Well, at least the editor gave him a public spanking for it.
