How come this isn't as big of a story when he was accused of this "crime"?
False accusation is front page on every news outlet. Case dismissal is buried on the back page that you have to search for.
It's always a race to tear someone down with the loudest bullhorn. But they move at a snail's pace & a whisper to show innocence when it comes. This is why people think the media is a joke. Instead of treating the accusation as just that, they'd rather start speculating, connecting dots to fit the narrative that you're guilty until proven innocent.
Just like in this thread. People who either wanted Jay-Z to be guilty didn't like him were loud in their stories of how he was "guilty" because of "this" & because of "that". Once the NBC interview happened, they all went silent & slowly disappeared. Will they admit they were wrong? Hell no. If anything, it they're called out they just dig their heels in deeper. "He still hung out with such & such." "He still slept with yada yada."
People really hate being wrong. This world is filled with a bunch of omnipotent know it all's.
