Comment on How The Times Reported the Graham Platner Story

  Then why did they wait till last week to drop the story?

  Why hide it this entire time?

  Why didn’t they try to verify any of the claims?

  Why is the only “evidence” recent emails to a therapist where the patient says they don’t want to come forward but people (journalists) are pressuring here to?

  The primary attempt failed, so they picked the case that could be proven or denied because part of the story was he was blacked out drunk

  If you can’t see this as a politician hit piece and nothing else, nothing I say is going to make sense here. Logic, facts, and critical thinking won’t help you if you can’t see any issues with this already.

  Someone needs to help you with fundamental reasoning skills, it’s not just this topic.

    Agreed.

    He can be a fucker and there can be a reason they waited until now. Both can be true.
