1. Why Isn’t Anyone Paying Attention to the Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Trump?

In two weeks, Bill Cosby will be formally arraigned in the case Commonwealth v. William Henry Cosby. The world will be watching, but not out of true suspense. Most people will follow the case expecting to hear lurid details about the comedian’s alleged sex crimes, and will follow the trial to see the spectacle of a beloved entertainer hitting rock bottom. At the same time, Doe v. Donald J. Trump, a federal civil case for sexual assault, will proceed against Republican frontrunner Donald Trump (if a judge decides not to dismiss it). That case, though, is unlikely to receive even a fraction of the media and public attention that Cosby’s case will.

The disparity in public perception between the Cosby and Trump cases is fascinating. From a purely legal standpoint, the allegations against Trump are way worse than the ones against Cosby. Trump’s alleged victim, who filed the lawsuit, claims she was a thirteen-year-old child when the assault happened, while Cosby’s was a grown woman. Trump’s alleged attack was overtly violent, while Cosby’s was not. And the claims against Trump come with someone claiming to be an eyewitness, while Cosby’s does not. In fact, everything from procedure to substance weighs as badly, if not worse, against Trump as it does against Cosby. But, strangely, I even find the case against Trump hard to believe.

Just to examine a few aspects of the cases:

And essentially the only thing. Nothing from the MSM.

So I'm wondering whether this is actually true (although the document certainly reads as though it's for real), and if it is, where the heck are the media? These accusations would seem to be catnip.
