1. As I said earlier, make a specific criticism of something the media has done in relation to Bill Cosby and we can then address it. Until you do that, your general criticisms of the media boil down to casting vague aspersions on the reports of Cosby's behavior.
2. As the Rolling Stone rape story demonstrates, once a "smear" is out there, innocent people are capable of disproving it if it's not true. Interestingly, do you know who disproved the Rolling Stone rape story? More than anyone else, the Washington Post, by repeatedly asking questions about the parts of the story that did not add up.
3. The media doesn't conduct meaningful investigations? Start with Jacob Riis and Upton Sinclair and continue through to today and you'll find that suggestion disproved locally and nationally in every era of America history.
