I remember Kasie calling for Tara to be taken seriously during the primaries. It's interesting to look back at who was pushing the Tara Reade smears at the time.

I didn't watch his show for over a year after that, I was furious. Same with Mika. I don't know if either of them ever apologized, but I seriously doubt it.

Always consider the source
Always check the source
Always look for corroboration
Always Google the source
Always do a thorough background on the source regarding their affiliations
Always ask “cui bono?”
Always ask who benefits
Always follow the money

Did I miss anything?

I’m a woman and a sexual abuse survivor. Women are human beings and capable of lying. We can’t run with everyone allegation. Look into it, verify if the accusations are credible, and then act accordingly. To just leap from allegation to guilt misses a few steps, and results in losing people like Franken. Thankful Biden didn’t suffer the same fate.

Of course, there's the writer, E. Jean Carroll, who said Donald Trump raped her in a dressing room in the mid-90s. He ended up calling her a liar and she wasn't "his type" (he had a type he rapes?). Anyway, now she's suing him for defamation.

emphasized that it should be "listen to all women", not "believe all women". When "Me Too" first took off, I became very uneasy, as so people were too quick to judgment too easily. Not all people, men or women, tell the truth. That is why we have "innocent until proven guilty" instead of vigilantism.
