3 hrs ago had a story about the Cosby case in PA.
I don't get why US sources- at least the WaPo hasn't anything on it you, given the content.

1. This is a Philly area story so it's in our local paper

2. I'd say it's a national and international story since his drugging and molestations involved 50 or

more women and it was reported in the Guardian (again, US press scooped by Europe/Brits) before major news sources began to promulgate it nationally.
It's especially relevant because the charges are now so focused and limited.

3. From what I gather here

there is concern about the jury pool and changing venue. There is a hearing to decide on the venue change request that is scheduled for this coming Monday so they may end up rolling that decision, along with the testimony changes, into a larger story.

I think at the moment, Der Fuhrer's idiocy is taking media precedence.

4. Has anything appeared on DU about it?

5. I haven't been actively monitoring DU that much today

beyond the front page. I mostly post in LBN and in some GD threads that appear on the front page (and/or may respond to posters who replied to my earlier posts), so I can't say whether it's been posted about or not.

6. Earlier today I ran it thru a search and found a January article as the first ref.

This is a story about a nationally known 'potential' serial Rapist. (Yeah, capitals.)
What is ist w/ the US media ? And WHY?

Like deep throat said: Follow the money.

- hey, just one guy's opinion... MP
