75 year old E. Jean Carroll has a new book out that she is promoting. The main story that she is promoting the book with an impossible to believe story that Donald Trump raped her 23 years ago in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.

The story been given the cover of a major magazine. Carroll subsequently has been given substantial air time, numerous interviews and an enormous amount of promotion on all the major networks.

The complaint, by CJR and Media Matters about not enough coverage is because Carroll’s story did not make the front page of Saturday’s New York Times, Wall Street Journal, LA Times, or Chicago Tribune. The complaint is that The Washington Post did put it on the front page, but did not lead with it.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid said: “In any other universe, in any other presidency, in any other news cycle… [Carroll’s allegations] would have been the lead story all week long.”

They want no actual coverage of the story, no examination of the many inconsistencies and the almost certainty that the story is false.

They just want the allegations repeated over and over again with the hope that it will destroy President Trump.

Too many false rape claims in the past few years means the public’s appetite for more false rape claims has significantly diminished.

I don’t know who is in charge of the DestroyTrump media, but they’re not doing a very good job. Nothing original, no creative thinking. They’re out of ideas.

I’m sure the Columbia Journalism Review would have the exact same level of concern regarding coverage of rape accusation against a Democrat president.

Nice try, propagandists, but you’re shooting blanks. No one believes this crap anymore, so quit wasting our time.

Reminds of the joke when some sailors were stranded on an island with no women so they were having sex with goats, they all laughed when the last guy finally did it, he said, I knew you were fooling me, they said NO - you picked the ugliest goat.

She doesn’t even know what year it took place, but undoubtedly can tell you where she was when John Lennon was shot. I guess her made up story wasn’t very traumatic.

Perhaps, just perhaps, if this cupid stunt had said something at the time it happened, if it happened, sometime in the last century, anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature might care.

Since there isn't a Democrat who can count to eleven without taking off his/her/its shoes, her claims are a joke, or better, actionable slander, subject to a fine that will have her grandchildren living under a bridge...

Any other presidency ? And you expect people to believe you?

No coverage ???

Maybe it’s a fact free , zero evidence story from 23 years ago is a clue it has zero legs to get traction....

At least journalists as a group to managed to just slightly outscore the intelligence of “eddikators” and SJW majors.
