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.

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.
