So this is to say that if a person involved in a crime refuses to comment on it, nobody should be allowed to? And as we are a society of innocent until proven guilty -- in cases where somebody is accused, should the media not be allowed to publish corroborating statements until the accused has had their say on their own terms?
I can certainly see an emotional argument for what you're saying, but logically I don't think this is very cogent.
- cantrip 9y agoYes, I believe that journalists should not be basing their reporting on hearsay. I think there's a logical argument to be made that if you have one victim who does not wish to speak publicly but multiple other women who will, you respect the privacy of that woman.
