Or the women are being blackmailed into doing it. Or maybe both. Poor Mr. Cain. I’m still in his corner.

You know, Herman Cain does seem to know a lot of floozies.

My husband is a manager to a lot of people, several of them odd women. One of those women was known to file false claims of sexual harassment and he got the risky job of having to fire her.

If one is in upper management somewhere, they will undoubtedly know floozies and unscrupulous women. Unavoidable...

The Gennifer Flowers media festival was most certainly a different order of magnitude. Tapes of Bubba’s private remarks to her were played. And very protein-rich tapes they were!

Ginger White has offered nothing but her own assertions about Cain, plus a few about her own seamy background.

Politically, I don’t like Cain at all, but death by smear is not the way to knock him out.

No rock solid evidence? STHU or prepare to be sued.

I think the thing that really makes me mad is the turn that “news” has taken over the years. Back in the Cronkite and Huntley-Brinkley days, you were given the news and then you could think about it later and draw your own conclusions. Today, the news is delivered with the slant mentioned here, but even worse, they tote out some “expert” to convince you that their opinion is the correct one. We aren't getting news, we're getting propaganda.

“The unfortunate thing is that smoke usually indicates fire.”

Sometimes. But sometimes it’s just a smoke machine.

That saying has been around for awhile. It's possible I dredged it up from my encyclopedic mind and not a recent MSM report.

[commonguymd]

Did Herman Cain sign a book to this latest accuser, “friends are forever, everything else is a bonus”?

It’s crap like that and 60 texts/calls to his private cell phone in the last few months that disturb me.

[SMARTY]

The MSM is never going to back off of its servile deference to and blind tolerance for Liberals in American politics.

There will always be this double standard. There would be NO accusations against Cain, if equal scrutiny and censure was sure to apply across the board. In this sense, the MSM has become a petri dish for all the smut in the known universe.... It is no longer credible about anything.

[eeevil conservative]

On Fox & Friends this morning, Brian stated that the woman had 80 messages FROM Cain...

WOW! I missed that story......

I don’t mind opinions, but to just make up facts- sheeshk....sad....Brian was my fave....I don’t mind disagreeing- but I don’t put up with NBC making stuff up- why should I put up with it from FOX- no matter who says it....

I know Brian is a sports guy- but the sports announcing color guy does NOT make up stats....

[Lady Lucky]

Some Bronx cheers are in order for Cain supporters too — the ones who ripped up their tickets before the race had even started, just because of dirt spewed by a self-confessed tramp.

Apparently some people will fall for anything.

[Kaslin]

Interesting

[LoveUSA]

I hope you're right and you probably are.

My family has always been involved with skilled labor industries. Don't have a lot of experience with corporate lap-dancers.

[Thermalseeker]

Fox is not Fair and Balanced!

Fox is not even close to fair or balanced. Fox manufactures news just like all the rest and ignores stories when they don't fit into the Fox story line.

[Kaslin]

So am I and plan to vote for him in our primaries March 6, 2012 unless he drops out

[Diogenesis]

"But here's what's sick.
Ginger White makes an adultery charge against Cain
and she's on NBC within hours.
But when Juanita Broaddick accused Chelsea's father
of raping her in a 1999 Dateline NBC interview,
then-anchor Tom Brokaw never allowed one second
of her voice to break into the NBC Nightly News. "

You don't think GE escapes taxes for no reason, do you?

[LoveUSA]

Not ruling out anything.

It doesn't help that Drudge's report last night said Cain is considering bailing.

Has anyone found out if the latest story's emails were all sourced FROM her TO him?

That would put a lid on the whole story.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Back in the Cronkite and Huntley-Brinkley days, you were given the news

Yeah, Walter Crankshaft was a RATagandist.

[CAluvdubya]

What managers do now compared to what they were aware of 13 years ago is completely different. My husband is never in a room alone with a female employee. He's also very careful with what he says as he tends to kid around a bit...he doesn't kid with females very often.

There are some women in the work force that are always looking to get a free ride somehow. Sexual charges is the easiest one. They make the rest of us lookd bad and have to work twice as hard to overcome them!

[bcsco]

This is all so contrived. To anyone with a sense of fairness (not to mention political intuition), the uniform histories of these women has to be a sign of collaboration. Some of us have given our ideas of the source(s), yet who knows. Obama (Axelrod), Perry, Romney, Gingrich?

Regardless, it’s a coordinated attack and it’s purpose, IMO, is to get the one Black GOP candidate out of the race and out of people’s minds. Whoever is behind this wants to insure there will never be a viable Black GOP candidate. Does the phrase “Keeping them on the plantation” come to mind?

[Sudetenland]

What, is this supposed to be some sort of revelation? The press is hypocritical, what a surprise. Bozell must be really desperate for something to write about or desperate to distract from the latest Cain controversy. It's not like the MSM hasn't behaved in precisely the same manner for decades. /sarc

Cain is not the first nor will he be the last to be treated thus, what is novel is to see so much whining about it in defense of the targeted candidate. One would think that GWB was treated with the utmost fairness by the Press, or that Ronald Reagan was never ridiculed or intentionally misinterpreted.

The MSM is a fully owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party. They will at all times treat Democrat scandals, misbehavior, rumors and outrages differently than they treat those of Republicans.

Anybody remember Mark Foley? Remember how they treated him as opposed to Gerry Studds--who actually did what Foley was merely talking about doing?

This article was not even worth writing. It doesn't discredit anything being said, it merely points out an inherent unfairness in news coverage that we all know about already.
