But he saved his harshest criticism for the media machine itself: “The most significant challenge encountered in this investigation has been the 24-hour news cycle and its insatiable appetite for something, for anything, to talk about, followed closely behind with the non-stop rumors on social media.”

You know, not only is this the same thing they did with Zimmerman/Martin, but they (MSM) are doing the same thing to Bill Cosby. Now, I'm not saying Bill did not do the things he's "accused" of, BUT in our society we are supposed to be "presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty".

Ferguson's terrorists didn't wait to review the evidence, they immediately said a WHITE man was guilty of killing a BLACK man.

You are comparing a court standard of “innocent until proven guilty’ to a social standard. That is incorrect. For example, even though many lynchings were not proven in a court of law, we accept the social evidence that lynchings did occur.

Likewise, with Cosby, although his rape was not proven in a court of law, many women have testified to the fact and his handler who dealt with the women has testified to the fact that he used his power as a tool of sex with women. From this we draw our own conclusions about the character of people and events, even though it is not before a court of law. I have concluded that Cosby was probably not as good as his public “dad” image. But, I would not want him imprisoned without a trial.
