I believed Anita Hill. I believed Christine Blasey Ford. I believe Tara Reade. The #MeToo "feminists" who don't believe her can't say so overtly, so they're deleting their tweets, remaining silent or shooting the messenger soundcloud.com/katie-halper/t… #IbelieveTaraReade #IbelieveTara
These are the same pseudo feminists who ignore, refuse to believe or smear Juanita Broaddrick. I believe Juanita. I don't share her politics. But that doesn't make her a liar. In fact, it was the refusal to listen to Broaddrick that pushed her into the... soundcloud.com/katie-halper/j…
arms of the only person who would listen to her: Donald Trump. Trump, the misogynist who has bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, was the first person to give her the chance to tell her since the 90s when she first told it, reluctantly. What we're watching in real time...
is another attempt to silence, delegitimize, and smear an inconvenient accuser. Tara isn't a perfect victim. There is no perfect victim. But she deserves to have her story told even if the powerful man she's accusing is in your party or is your preferred candidate. Even if she...
isn't a research psychologist at Stanford University. Tara is facing the exact kinds of questions, victim-blaming, and shaming that Blasey Ford faced. Some of the very people who rightly called out her mistreatment are now engaging in it. There's a discussion to be had about...
reporting in the era of #MeToo. But if you're going to write pieces about the responsible journalism, then do that. Don't write transparent hit pieces claiming to care about protecting women and the integrity of journalism while just repeating the same smears you're claiming...
to want to shield women from. Just admit that you don't really #BelieveWomen. You #BelieveSomeWomen. I don't want to write a response piece to two recent hit pieces because they're honestly too badly written to merit a response. But They're incredibly useful examples of...
pseudo-high minded concern trolling by craven partisan hacks downplaying a credible rape allegation while reconciling #metoo’s Believe Women. The objective adult in the room shtick is laughable. It's given away early on by the correction up top that luckily alerts readers... 
that this piece claiming to value getting the facts right does not, in fact, get the facts right. The article is actually brilliantly written because it manages to present what is actually a listacle of false equivalencies, recycled smears and victim-blaming as good journalism.
Instead of saying anymore about this (I must admit kind of brilliant) hit piece, I'll let @krystalball break it down. Another piece which recycles the same concern-trolling and smearing seen in Marcotte's is much less convincing. I'm not sure why...
someone who seems to write about television would be the best person to write about responsible reporting. Instead of talking to Tara, who the story is about, the writer tried to make the story about me, and couldn't even get that right. But the story is Tara. And no matter...
how much they try to ignore her, Tara is telling her story. Any journalist who actually cared about Tara or #beleiveWomen or #listenToWomen would have actually believed and/ or listened to her. Instead they smeared, infantilized, ignored and belittled her. They're serving as...
stenographers to the powerful, entitled abusive men they claim to challenge.
Oh, one more thing. I feel bad for people who have to try to go after Ryan Grim. The guy broke the Christine Blasey Ford piece. theintercept.com/2018/09/12/bre…
Ok. Giving the last word to Tara. @ReadeAlexandra currentaffairs.org/2020/03/tara-r…
