Yeterday I watched an episode of 60 Minutes Australia where they followed John Jarrett as he went through his rape trial (hew was acquitted). Two things went through my mind -
We need to make it clear that not every accusation of misconduct is true. And it is possible for Weinstein and Epstein to be guilty and for Michael to be innocent.
The modus operandi of the media needs to be exposed - what goes on behind the scenes, the machinations, manipulations, bribes, etc. If that ever becomes exposed to the general public things will change. Yes, there are many in the media who are honourable and committed to doing good work. But, like all other areas of life, there will be people in the media who are liars, users, sycophants, enablers and opportunists. Those who work in the media need to some serious evaluation of their industry. I doubt that will happen though.
