More problematic ‘facts’ in Moore case.
Facts and specifics used to matter to journalists. Even more importantly, they used to matter even more when serious allegations were brought up.
After all, if “innocent until proven guilty” disappears, then every person — including you — can have their life shredded based on hearsay and gossip.
It looks like a reliance on solid evidence has been thrown out the window, at least when it comes to the current accusations against Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Over the past several days, news outlets have been reporting unsubstantiated claims that a former police officer was told to protect cheerleaders from Moore.
The woman behind that accusation, Faye Gary, has also openly declared that Moore is a bigot and a racist… but it turns out that she was repeating her own “feelings” and opinions, not facts.
Even more shockingly, the mainstream media completely glossed over the fact that Moore was the prosecutor who sent Faye Gary’s criminal brother to prison 35 years ago.
“The news media seemingly failed to vet Gary, with numerous articles and the MSNBC interview not mentioning that Moore was the prosecutor in an 1982 high profile case that sent her brother, Jimmy Wright, to prison on charges of possession of a controlled substance,” explained Breitbart News.
Also, take note. She’s a rabid progressive and member of the Resistance. No reason at all to question her intecession against a GOP senatorial candidate.
