There’s no excuse for this. There is a reason for it, however: Mediaite knows it can get away with this smear because the Miller Deranged don’t care about facts, just that all males accused of a sex crime must be considered guilty even decades after they have been exonerated. The good, virtuous, woke response in 2006 to the false charges made against the Duke students was to condemn the lacrosse players while presuming the alleged victim was a pure as the driven snow and as honest as Diogenes.

X Readers had to add the context Mediaite deliberately omitted to assist in the stampede to demonize Miller (I guess I should say “further demonize Miller.”) He was defending the presumption of innocence (which Nancy Grace seldom observed), not defending rape, and the accused students were indeed innocent, as their accuser eventually admitted that she lied.
