NOTE: Politico’s response to Breaking Points and Drop Site News on the gaps in reporting follows: “This story is based on extensive reporting and interviews and reflects our editorial standards. In interviews with us and in accounts she gave to other outlets, Jenny Racicot said that she told Graham Platner not to come to her home and that he nevertheless showed up there uninvited. POLITICO gave Platner and his campaign ample opportunity to respond to our reporting and to provide any information or documentation they believed contradicted it. If presented with information that materially challenges our reporting, we will report it.” Ryan and Saagar discuss exclusive reporting on key details missing from the Graham Platner story.

Again more information is coming out.  Details that give credit to Platner’s side of the story.  The news doesn’t excuse him, but it sets up why he was at her house and why he was touching her.  Again the media has a bias and it is being reported with that bias totally one sided.  This report says he was wasted out of his mind black out drunk but again no proof of that.  Was the woman here drinking also like the first woman was?  I think Saagar is trying too hard to brand Platner,  again we need more facts.  As he said the woman is accusing Platner of a serious felony and now we need to see if this is going to be a trial in the media which is a slander hit job or a trial in court.  The question I have is more going to come out.  I like that on morning Joe the host asks for colaberating evedince.  She asks what do you have to show him raping the victim?  Again if he did it he needs to pay for his crime, I just don’t like how it is coming out, being played up in media, and the timing.  Again the reporter admits he can’t produce any evidence.  The therapist did not verify that it happened, yet that was reported.   The very account I had heard about the exchange between the therapist and the victim has been proven out, it was not about the assault or at the time or the assault.  The therapist said she did not recall the victim’s account of the assault but said she vaguely supports women who say they are assaulted.  Therrapest keep notes, mine always have so why did she blank on the case details.   This is looking a media hit job to drive a progressive candidate out of politics.    Hugs
