How is it that a raving madman can be on TV for 81 minutes and life goes on as usual? I used to get saner people than him committed for observation.

Dr. Ford is the original and most believable. R's are focusing on her to undermine her, we are focusing on her as she is our best hope of stopping this

Avanatti's client has the baggage of her debt problem and the restraining order against her. Makes her easier to attack if made the focus.

Both of my regional newspapers have her on the cover, but only reporting on a restraining order an -ex boyfriend took out on her.

She is being smeared as un trustworthy.

The poster is reporting what is in their regional papers. That's true.

They add the comment that "she is being smeared as untrustworthy." Opinions that what they are reporting is smearing Dr. Ford.

Or are you saying it's untrue they are smearing Dr. Ford?
