That's the key question. I doubt the news media can be depended upon to convey these things (or even a few of them) to the public.

But we can be sure, any tiny little allegation against Platner, regardless of how ridiculous it is and untrue it's proven to be, will likely be reported, especially by Fox "Fixed" News.
