Sexual assault accusations - the new way to smear someone without the burden of facts.
That said, it looks like Brokaw’s usefulness ran out.
Accusing a man of 'inappropriate behavior' is the modern equivalent of 'WITCH!'
What drives these stories is the media hype.
Unfortunately the only way to get them to tone down the hype is to force them to live by the standards they demand of others.
I hate that it's come to this and I don't want to ramp it up but if it gets a few reporters to de-escalate their fanatical reporting about what constitutes sexual assault it may be quell the 'rape culture' hysteria.
