Yup. Meanwhile Bill Clinton, who settled a similar suit for over $800,000, and still has credible accusations withstanding, disbarred & impeached over the cover-up, is given pretty good treatment by the media.

Now what I find particularly strange is that this man settled a case back in 2005 in which 13 other women signed onto in defense of what the case originator said. Yet Hollywood, tv , etc, didn't start pulling stuff then? -

But did you know that there's a bias in the media towards how it reports the news? -

It would be nice to get someone who just reports what is happening w/o the slants. -
Have you ever heard that fans have been know to initiate lawsuits against extremely wealthy well known individuals?
I say let the actual facts come out first. -
He was accused by 12 women in 2004 of having assaulted them.
He cheated on his wife several times and had a child with another woman.
He settled one law suit in 2005.
He just doesn't sound like someone I would leave my daughter around. I frankly believe the women. I tend to not trust any one who has cheated on their spouse. -

Raven-Symone, who rose to fame playing Bill Cosby's step-granddaughter on "The Cosby Show," is speaking out against rumors that the comedian sexually assaulted her.
The actress took to social media on Wednesday to slam the speculation -- which apparently stemmed from a story on a parody website that claimed she was a victim of Cosby's after the hit show ended.
"I was NOT taking advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show! I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumor that I want no part of!" she wrote on Instagram. "Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!

He admitted to fathering a child with someone other than his wife.
He settled a similar assault case already. Who settles if they haven't done anything?
Janice Dickinson, who isn't the world's greatest character witness, got quite graphic.
What other FACTS do you think we should be expecting to hear? -

Comparing Cosby to Clinton is cringeworthy. Nice read from Deadspin here though.

Also, a good write up from Jason Parham here.

The video is a nice insight into why people like him are successful at continuing their behavior. Rapists seem to count on people's disbelief of the victim even in Cosby's case when he has victim's spanning decades going back to 1969.

Why cringeworthy ? Clinton settled for over $800,000, and the accusations have merit.

Yeah. It was pretty ugly.
Anyway, historically, type-A personalities tend to be womanizers. Not excusing it. -

Clinton used his political power for his sexual escapades in similar fashion. -

I guess if you are the POTUS, you get a bathroom, hallway pass. Others get the boot.
I really enjoy the clean, laid back humor of Bill Cosby, especially his rendition of the story of Noah!
If he did what he is accused of doing, so be it! He deserves to be held accountable, like the priests who molested children for decades.
But, once again, the only people not subject to the laws of the land seem to be those hiding in the Oval Office! How hypocritical is this? -

American journalism is yellow.
