So it is you intention to conduct a trial by media, what case, exactly, are we trying? Can we make motions, depose witnesses, rely on CNN to completely inform us on the details of the case?

Imputing motives seems to be a bad habit of yours. I'm not putting anyone on trial.

And why do you keep blathering about CNN? The news is everywhere.

It's really simple.

If a civil lawsuit is filed alleging sexual impropriety by a megachurch pastor, that is news whether you like it or not. Irrespective of guilt or innocence.

If you think it isn't then walk us through the alternative. Let me start you out. The alternative is to keep it quiet. IMHO, that would be far worse in the long run. Why? Because news would leak out one way or another, which in turn would lead to rumors, many of them false, which would in turn would lead to accusations of cover-ups and fixes. Is that how you'd prefer this to unfold?

Far better to be open about it publish it and let the cards fall where they may.
