Let's be honest here, Cosby was alleged to have done these things for years and the only reason they didn't come to light were because of his fame, power, celebrity and money. For years Cosby hid behind his all-american father persona perpetuated by the same media you now accuse of dragging him though the mud. and for years people were afraid to pursue justice because of it. In this case in particular, it took media attention to break down that wall/persona for many of these women to finally come forward and the only way that many are going to receive any kind of justice.

This is a straw man argument. I never commented on guilty or not, just that the blatantly obvious media loves to frame it as guilty immediately because it gets attention.
Many of the arguments in this thread are semantic/rhetorical strawmen arguments. You are arguing something that cannot be countered because it does not relate to what I said. This is how to argue poorly as you disagree with what I said yet nothing which you said argues against what I said.
Yeah 50 women accused him but that has nothing to do with the media salivating over the chance to tear down a celebrity because it gets them money.
