There was a time in this country that a person was innocent until proven guilty. Now, a person is guilty until proven innocent. I don’t know about you, but I am tired of hearing about politicians and celebrities being accused of sex crimes. And, to the media it does not matter if the accusers are legitimate or not.
Anyone can accuse anyone of anything and the accused is automatically guilty regardless of what the truth may reveal. There is a constant bombardment by the media and if someone is finally tried and acquitted, there is only a one time blip on the news.
Let me assure you that you and I do not know if those accused are guilty or not. It is unlikely that we will ever be on the jury that decides. Oh, I am inclined to believe anything about politicians and celebrities, but there is, or should be, a legal process to determine guilt beyond a shadow of doubt.
Wow! I can’t believe that I am actually taking a stand on behalf of politicians and celebrities.
However if members of the media should face similar charges, I can’t see any reason for a trial.
Just hang’em.
