One can make a far far more compelling argument that the Intel Report blaming Russia was overwhelmed--tho largely by Access Hollywood.

If by "one," you mean Marcy Wheeler.

Anyone actually looking at the evidence can make that case. Which probably is the one people should be making, bc evidence supports it.

I buy it. But I still think you'd do the best job. I also think my point stands -- maybe "drowned out" rather than "overwhelmed."

Neither. Access Hollywood totally dominated, but just for days. Podesta mattered bc it was sustained over time, not bc of immediate impact.

That's what I mean by "began" and "drowned out." We're probably not going to agree on "mattered."

You're asking for the media to be not-the-media. And for norms about sexual assault to be not-our-norms for sexual assault.
