Empowering women just because they are women is as stupid as empowering men just because they are men. The #MeToo movement is mob justice.
Good old-fashioned journalism could stop this insanity.
The standard is pretty simple. It's not a story unless there is a police report or a lawsuit its not a story.
In Harvey Weinstein's case, we had them. Ronan Farrow ferreted them out.
In Judge Moore's case, we had none. No police report. And we still await Gloria Allred to file an actual lawsuit.
We have a court system to dispense justice. The media does a lousy job of it.
If the news media did its job the way we were taught, there would be less hysteria.
It's simple: if there is no attempt to try the man in court, then let's not try the man in public.

From Leslie Eastman's review at Legal Insurrection:
Surber, a recovering journalist with over 30 years of experience, has been cataloging the #FakeNews that has been regularly offered as serious analysis of President Donald Trump’s actions, policies, and opinions. He has brought his enormous collection together in the longest, most serious book he has yet written: Fake News Follies 2017."Fake News Follies of 2017" is available on Kindle and in paperback.
Autographed copies are available. Email me at DonSurber@GMail.com for details. I am including a "director's cut." I'll email you back the original Chapter 1 that I cut because while the chapter was amusing, it really had nothing to do with the "Fake News Follies of 2017."
Ben Garrison did the cover and I am so happy with it. I told him what the book was about, sent him a copy of the manuscript, and he came up with a perfect cover. I am so pleased.
