I understand why people believe sexual predators before victims. I did | Ijeoma Oluo | Comment is free | The Guardian
We have to believe victims, even if we are hurt and ashamed by what they say. It’s necessary to face that pain and that shame in order to protect the innocent and get justice for those who have been harmed. The pain and heartbreak that the families of rapists face should never be an excuse for turning your back on victims – and I know just how devastating acknowledging the truth can be.

still believe that Fox viewers never check facts and don’t care if they are not telling the truth, as long as it is what they want to hear.
‘Senator Joni Ernst forgot to mention the teeny-
tiny $460,000 in federal subsidies her family
received via the farm subsidy program’.
‘The District-Sentinel reports’:
“The truth about her family’s farm roots and
living within one’s means, however, is more

“Relatives of Ernst (née: Culver), based in Red
Oak, Iowa (population: 5,568) have received over
$460,000 in farm subsidies between 1995 and 2009″.
“Ernst’s father, Richard Culver, was given $14,705

$250,000 geared toward corn subsidies”.
“And the brothers’ late grandfather Harold Culver

Over the last two years there have been many rumours and news stories alleging that Leon Brittan was a paedophile, though you may not have realised as he has invariably been euphemistically alluded to as “a former senior Tory cabinet minister” or something similar. There had been some concern among journalists, and even this blogger, that the continued and ubiquitous use of this term might itself have become so synonymous with Leon Brittan that its use might itself have precipitated legal action if Lord Brittan decided to take that route.
The allegations are not new they go back to the early 1980s at least, as Bernhard Ingham, former press secretary to Margaret Thatcher, has…

On doubt
Indeed, there is nothing more dreadful than doubt. Doubts separate people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
