J'accuse

 In the United States today, we have given up proving that people have done wrong. We are evolving into a culture of "guilt by accusation". This is a media-driven phenomena. It will destroy the fabric of society quicker than the communism that these same folks are hustling.

Let's use Andrew Cuomo for Exhibit A. During the recent pandemic, Andrew Cuomo was the darling of the media. He was even awarded an Emmy for his press conferences. Of course, he didn't have to deal with some CNN jackass like Jim Acosta attacking him at press conferences. Cuomo had his private CNN reporter, his brother Crazy Chris Cuomo. 

As the pandemic declined, networks began looking for "real" news. It turns out that there was evidence that actions taken by Andrew Cuomo during the pandemic had resulted in the deaths of hundreds of nursing home patients.  Then the state may have covered up this evidence. All of this was just a blip on the national news radar screen. No one in the national media paid attention. Who criticizes a fellow Emmy winner?

Then rumors erupted that Andrew Cuomo, AKA The Love Gov, may have made advances to a few women. The media world exploded!! Democrats lined up to demand that Cuomo resign. So now what? The Attorney General of New York is doing an "independent" investigation. An "independent investigation' by someone rumored to be desirous of the governor's office in the next election? How is that possible? Have any of the women involved filed a police report about the incidents? Have any filed a civil suit against the Emmy-winning Love Gov? 

Preliminary reports indicate that Cuomo is not the toucher and sniffer that President "Sleepy Joe" is alleged to be. So touching a woman on the back is a bigger offense than placing hundreds of COVID victims in nursing homes resulting in hundreds of other deaths? Really?

We used to try people in courtrooms, now we try them online or on television. Allegations are treated as facts. It makes no difference whether there is any corroborating evidence. The whole "women must be believed' idea is bullshit. They must be believed when they are telling the truth. Same thing with allegations from men. Obviously, no one in politics or the media has heard Terri Clark sing her hit song  "Girls Lie Too". 

Frankly, I thought that we had hit bottom with Christine Blasey Ford's fairy tale about Brett Kavanaugh. After weeks of lying, Ms. Ford was able to soothe her pains with hundreds of thousands of dollars raised from Go Fund Me pages for her benefit. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad about Ms. Ford, allow me to point out that Ms. Ford's appearance in Congress started with a lie from her. They delayed the hearing for a few days to allow her time to get to Washington because she claimed that she could not fly for emotional reasons. When the panel convened, it turned out that Ms. Ford had flown to D.C. In fact , over the previous few years, she had flown to distant islands in the South Pacific. Apparently, flying was only an issue when it involved lying about Kavanaugh.

Ms. Ford's testimony was an award winning piece of fiction. She could not recall dates, times, names, or places. The news media who routinely ignore the journalistic basics of who, what, when, where, why,  and how in their work were lavish in their praise of Ms. Ford. They should package her testimony and sell it as a children's book. The title has to be "Ford's Fairy Tales". She can be her own wicked witch.

It goes without saying that only Senate Democrats are more immoral than Ms. Ford. Wait, House Democrats are swine as well.

Rant over.
