    I guess I’ve seen a lot of footage like this. And usually the only thing that happens is the victim gets charged with assault.

      yeah. this one has legs though. Which basically means that she won’t be charged, and that they’ll put the guy on paid leave until the news cycle blows over and then he’ll be back creating more “content” like this shit.

      The only difference between this incident and dozens of others is that it literally happened in front of a bunch of press types.

        I see. Maybe we need to start applying pressure to make the press do their job all the time instead of just occasionally.

          Dump main stream and find independent media. We’re now finding tons of journalists who are doing it, but not through “traditional” channels.

          Increasingly, the major outlets are getting owned by fewer and fewer billionaires. (And you can write off anything on TikTok now, too)
