Herman Cain on Trial

The following is a comment I submitted to Politico today. They have not always allowed my comments to be posted...seems I touch a raw nerve with them every now and then.

Here is the post.

It is not unfair to raise reasonable questions regarding the personal conduct of someone who wants to be the President of the USA.

But, what we have here is an allegation and a private resolution and no proof that anything happened.

So...Politico took a political biased cheap shot in airing part of a story and not first finding out if the allegations were ever substantiated.

The mere fact that females are paid off....does not mean anything.

I once worked for the US Gov't. We paid an employee $50,000 in taxpayer money to retire early and drop allegations of sexual bias. The allegations were unfounded. But lawyers decided defending the manager involved would cost more than just paying this malcontent loser to go away.

Shamefully, this is what passes for the way we do business in this country.

We waste public and private money because there is no negative consequence to making a false accusation.

So...until it is proved that Cain did something wrong....real journalism would warrant objective reporting ...and it looks like Politico is just what it appears to be...a left leaning political rag...that would rather score cheap points with the left...than do serious journalism.

Where was Politico when reports of Obama consorting with former terrorists arose. How about Obama's reported indulging in cocaine.

How about his relationship with an American hating preacher for 20 years?

Well Politico...you are on trial too.

You will be held to a new standard of journalism...by the rest of us who are tired of liberals being allowed to get away with anything as far as the media is concerned.

Let see you hold Obama and his friends to the same journalistic standards you employ with Conservatives. I won't hold my breath.
