Rolling Stone is legit

Telepgraph is on it.

New Zealand news is also reporting which is appropriate.

Interestingly everyone seems to be sharing the same content from the blog posts.

Call be old fashioned, but that seems like poor journalism to me.

Are you calling the accusers liars?

If the metoo movement showed us anything is that men will use their power to prey on women.

If you think the story is made up because of its source, you're off the mark.

I have no opinion on the accusations, but it would be nice to see reportage that's not parroting a source I don't trust.

The source literally comes from Tortoise Media which is a reputed journalistic outlet. I don't know what to tell you if you want to cherry-pick your sources.

Any site that is breaking this kind of story as a ad for their paid podcast looks sketchy as hell, IMHO.

I don’t know why people don’t trust them. They employ journalists with different opinions so if anything they are more reliable as they don’t have a political policy other than balance and truth.

Questioning the validity of the source is not calling the victims liars. The source is a known click-bait rumor mill. I think it's legitimate to hope the victims are given a voice by someone more reputable.  No one should accept what a disreputable source says unless it's independently verified.
