What does you only having learned about it recently have to do with anything?
The 2004 rape accusation was covered, and brought forth 13 Jane Doe victims of Cosby, and some media covered his settling out of court, it just didn’t go viral like it did today with the internet.
“”Last month as the negative publicity snowballed, Team Cosby’s ill-fated invitation daring the Twitterverse to meme the star promptly backfired—“I DON’T ALWAYS EAT JELL-O BUT WHEN I DO IT’S NOT CONSENSUAL, AND BY JELL-O I MEAN HAVE SEX,” one detractor tweeted over a photo of smirking Cosby.
The meme disaster suggested a certain detachment from reality, as did Cosby’s apparent conviction that he could get through the interviews about his art collection without addressing the exploding scandal.
In short order, Netflix canceled a planned Cosby special, NBC quashed the development of a Cosby sitcom, and TV Land canceled reruns of The Cosby Show, the hit NBC series of the 1980s. Meanwhile, Cosby was forced off the board of trustees of his alma mater, Temple University, and historically black Spelman College suspended an academic chair endowed by Cosby to the tune of $20 million.””
Actually, I would believe National Enquirer just as soon as I would any of the MSM....
You damn tootie!!!
Nice pic; but the spelling. Jeez.
So they are about the same. Which could mean they are both being persecuted by the same leftist black movement, for having conservative leanings.
They both could be hard core rapists. I don’t know, but I smell Marxists and they stink like ship.

In most of the accusations I read, the victim was not penetrated, but woke up to find Cosby pleasuring himself over their nude bodies. Some victims were not sure if he actually raped them or not. Maybe he was careful to make sure no one got pregnant? Just guessing.
Kudos to you for appreciating a vintage bottle of sarcasm when it is seen! Merry Christmas!
“In the vernacular, “he be ridin’ dirty.”
Perhaps one might consider the truism “50,000,000 Frenchmen can’t be wrong” apropos the Dreyfus case.
The roar of the rabble is just that.
I never said I trust any of the media at all.
But I did compliment the Enquirer on upholding only the very highest of journalistic ethics and principles. Why they’ve never been awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their in-depth and challenging style of investigative reporting utterly escapes me.
If this is the same chef who's been in the news before, he's gay, too.
OMG!!! Johnny Edwards is still with his trampy paramour??
> What does you only having learned about it recently have to do with anything?
That’s called a comment; a personal observation based on my own experience. You would think we would have heard these accusations more prominently in the news than we are now, particularly when so many are coming forward. The timing just seems a little suspicious given his recent political stances against the status quo; that’s all I’m sayin...
So can this guy.
When Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown was murdered along with her friend Ron Goldman in 1994, footprints from Bruno Magli brand shoes were found at the scene.
Simpson denied owning that brand and that was good enough for the American media. But, the National Enquirer published photos of him wearing the shoes.

How in the world to you equate Herman Cain and Bill Cosby?
Do you have any source whatsoever that supports your implying that Cain is a “hardcore rapist” as Bill Cosby appears to be?
Sorry, but this has received coverage in the past, the Cosby camp and the media just managed to keep it from spreading like it is this time.
People magazine, The National Enquirer and other publications have reported on it, and Cosby threatened a 250 million lawsuit against the Enquirer in
“”Bill Cosby gave an exclusive interview to The National Enquirer in 2005 in exchange for a promise by the tabloid that it would drop a more damaging article about previously undisclosed sexual assault allegations, according to his testimony in a federal lawsuit.
Mr. Cosby was at the time facing allegations by Andrea Constand, a staff member with the basketball program at Temple University, Mr. Cosby’s alma mater, who said she had been drugged and molested by him a year earlier.
Bill Cosby at a Veterans Day ceremony in Philadelphia this month. At least 15 women have come forward with accusations, some dating back decades, that Mr. Cosby drugged and raped them.
Accusations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby have flared up in recent weeks.
In previously sealed court documents at Federal District Court in Philadelphia, Mr. Cosby acknowledged under oath in September 2005 that he sought to block The Enquirer from publishing its interview with Beth Ferrier, a former model who said he had drugged and sexually assaulted her in the mid-1980s, because he thought a second account would bolster the credibility of Ms. Constand’s accusations. The documents had been unsealed in recent months, and in response to requests from the news media were released on Wednesday.
“I would give them an exclusive story, my words,” Mr. Cosby said when asked in the deposition in the sexual assault case about his agreement with The Enquirer, according to the court documents. In return, The Enquirer “would not print the story of — print Beth’s story,” Mr. Cosby said.
“Did you ever think that if Beth Ferrier’s story was printed in The National Enquirer, that that would make the public believe that maybe Andrea was also telling the truth?” he was asked.
“Exactly,” he replied.””
I never made that comparison I compared 2 vilified men who may or may not have had reason to be vilified fora reason. But both have committed crimes of the left, those being wanting black men to take care of responsibilities.
Please read more carefully and lighten up.
