Bill Cosby Pressured AP Reporter To “Scuttle” Interview Of Sex Assault Questions (Video)
Buzz Feed ^ | November 19, 2014 | Michelle Broder Van Dyke

Posted on 11/20/2014 6:50:44 AM PST by maggief

In the wake of serious allegations of sexual assault from multiple women against Bill Cosby, the Associated Press has released the full video from a Nov. 6 interview.

During the on camera exchange, an AP reporter, Brett Zongker, asked Cosby about the allegations and he replies “No, no. We don’t answer that.” Cosby then requested that none of the questions and answers about the allegations appear anywhere. “I would appreciate it if it was scuttled,” Cosby said.

“I think if you want to consider yourself to be serious,” Cosby said to the reporter, “that it will not appear anywhere.”

The reporter replied to Cosby, “OK. I appreciate what you’ve asked.” “And we thought, by the way, because it was AP, that it wouldn’t be necessary to go over that question with you,” Cosby added.

Bill Cosby has left the Left Plantation on several occasions. Now, if he was still a good ‘Progressive’, we wouldn’t be reading anything about this. I don’t know if the allegations from so long ago are true, but you can be sure this would have been ignored/buried if he was in good stead with Obama.

Agree. Do not know if these allegations are true, but character assassination is the true bedrock of the left. And Bill has said some things to the black community they didn’t want to hear. So it does make you wonder...

This is not the way an innocent man behaves.

I’m starting to think the allegations are true, but I’m not sure how an innocent person would react differently.

I would think that if women kept popping-up and falsely wrongly accusing me of something this odious, over the course of 45+ years I would have learned to avoid putting myself in a position to be accused of any sexual wrongdoing. I wouldn’t want to be alone with any female who wasn’t my wife, mother, or daughter. Heck, I’ve never been accused of something like this and that’s my long been my policy.

I’ve heard the same thing about Will Geer and even Walt Disney. Don’t know if either rumor is true, but my old screenwriter pal seems to believe them. She has said whatever we imagine the level of rot in Hollywood, multiply it ten and we might get in the ballpark.

Bullshyte ... the way the media does the bidding of the progressive masters it is impossible to have a fair hearing of the issue, so what Cosby is doing is perhaps the only way an innocent man can avoid being victimized by that same evil-serving media. The facts are not going to be exposed, only the media’s twist on whatever happened. Cosby is being targeted. Don’t help the verminous bastards do this deed.

AP likely has 15 interviews with Obama that end that way.

Actually, the AP reporter didn’t give an inch.

There was NO PRIOR agreement NOT to ask questions. And the AP reporter was unwilling to be bullied into agreeing after the fact. Good job AP... we knew you had it in you...
