      The fact that the report is out there, and could potentially be released by someone else, provides an incentive for Cran not to misreport it. As for Galloway, it is not clear if he is allowed to release it. Partial leaks are normal in many other contexts . . .

      . . . seems a bit quick to turn around now and say partial leak is uniquely problematic here.

      Cran's article is being celebrated as definitive objective account rather than (as it is) an able polemic by partisan who seems to have partial access (likely given by one party) to a report that still not accessible to public.

      True but secondary. People of many political stripes overreact to narratives that confirm their priors. The quotes from the Boyd report are the important stuff. Fact that the writer may have had partial access does not seem grounds to dismiss them.

      Um, when there are two parties in dispute I'm usually wary of reporting that relies heavily on one party (typically stories that rely on police & prosecutors in crime cases).

      A lot of the best reporting of #metoo cases has heavily relied on one side of dispute, that of survivors. Cran piece asks us to adopt similar standard, only on behalf of someone said to be falsely accused of harassment.

      The best me too reporting has usually had multiple sources and also has tried to speak to all parties.

      True, but this is a separate issue. You said you don't reply on reporting that relies on one side, as in stories that rely on cops etc. #metoo reporting has relied on one side, and still been good reporting.

      Some important #metoo pieces (about Aziz Ansari, Wieseltier, others) have been first-person narratives by survivors. Does not seem right to dismiss them for relying only on one source (namely, their own personal experience).

      Okay! I still have another article to write before going to bed.
