Glad this made it on to a Network show

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/11/joy-behar-demands-to-know-why-were-talking-about-clinton-emails-and-not-trumps-rape-case/

That’s when Behar cut in with her zinger. “I have a question,” she began. “Why is it that — maybe I don’t know the law that well — but there was no investigation until after the election of fraud at Trump University. That’s after the election we’re going to hear about that. Then there are these allegations from 11 women about sexual assault. We’ll hear about that after the election. Politifact has called Trump the biggest liar of the year. He lies about everything. He has a shady past regarding his foundation—”

“He also has a rape case pending in federal court,” Hostin cut in.

“Well, that — okay. So, these are the things, as an American citizen, why am I only listening about somebody’s e-mails?” Behar asked. “Why am I not hearing from the authorities about these cases?”

7. It is a CIVIL case, which is different from Criminal

I can file a civil case against you and say that you molested my baby when they were 6 months old and shot my dog. I can file the paperwork and a hearing will be scheduled. Let's say all the major news networks decided to believe my word over yours just because there was a case and slandered your name all over the media and labelled you a child molester for the rest of your life. You'd probably sue the shit out of everyone, right?

That's why the media isn't running with this story. The plaintiff has NOT GONE to the media directly to be interviewed so they can at least cover their asses to show that they investigated.

You can't just print hearsay and accusations all willy nilly unless you want to be sued.

THAT is why that rape accusation case is not being covered.

Friend from overseas asked me: 'What the hell is going on in America with the election. Clearly the guy with the bad hair is unqualified."

5. I have been wondering when someone would bring this up. Why isn't this even mentioned by MSM?

Out of all the scandals this one should be front and center. They have a photographer who used to attend these parties trump gave for business men and under aged models. This fits with what the woman suing him said. She was invited by a woman who was recruiting under aged models for a party in trump towers. That's when it happened. Plenty of drugs as well.

I think the media will have to cover some Trump negative stories to appear balanced.
