Thank you. The Franken piece in the New Yorker made me enormously sad. I trusted
@JaneMayerNYer to be a real journalist, and yet her piece silenced the voices of seven women and allowed the man, yet again, to be the victim. Her behavior reminds me of Ira Buruma. -
"silenced the voices of seven women" How so?

As
@JaneMayerNYer’s piece notes, he apologized & asked for an Ethics Committee hearing immediately. “The only way forward ... was for him to take responsibility for having made women feel disrespected, while stressing that he hadn’t meant to do so.” -
How is this self-indulgent sullenness? I can’t believe I’m disagreeing w you and
@rtraister but Franken *was* railroaded and deserved due process. - Show replies

"Mayer’s attempt to exonerate Franken is only partially successful." Unfair to
@JaneMayerNYer, right from the start. She tried to get all the facts and report on them. Something the rest of the media couldn't seem to be bothered to do. Does NOT mean she was trying to exonerate. -
What was great about the Jane Mayer article was that it was fact based. Your article sadly. Was. Not

You should also consider https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2019/07/defending-al-franken-for-real/ … Drum goes well beyond Meyer and makes a fairly convincing case that Franken is just plain innocent. I note it's hard to be sincerely contrite if you didn't do it.

"Of these eight, then, six are pretty implausible on their face. The other two incidents might have happened, or they might simply have been normal accidents." Yet, journalists insisted the allegations were credible from the start. They failed miserably at their jobs.
