2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.

Going out in the media to cry about cancel culture and how you're innocent isn't exactly the behavior of an innocent man. Someone who truly knows they're innocent will clam up, beat the court case, and then declare vindication.

How many times has this actually worked? I'm not going to go on a very far limb to say that social media's ability to revisit topics is very very very low.

In fact it seems like it's the opposite and and once you're out of the media cycle you're gone.

I wouldn't take your advice. 👍 By the time the court case is over and you've 'won' you've lost your job house and family to bad press.

Someone who's innocent generally wouldn't be dropped by their manager either. They know something we don't and are jumping ship real quick.

They definitely know something we don't and until they come forward with that knowledge, we still won't know what that something is. And unless all doubt are cleared, the ambiguous situation will cast shadow on his presumed guilt.
