Dan Gainor isn’t the only Media Research Center official disparaging the alleged victims of Herman Cain’s sexual harassment as being out for money.
MRC Culture & Media Institute managing editor Matt Philbin weighed in tweet-wise on Monday’s press conference in which a woman represented by Gloria Allred made sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain, purporting to quote Allred saying, “It’s very brave for my client to set herself up for a lucrative book deal.”
Meanwhile, Gainor is continuing his campaign of denigration, repeating allegations about the woman’s background:
We don’t recall Gainor pointing this kind of stuff out regarding Bill Clinton’s accusers of sexual impropriety.
Then, Gainor tweets: “Journalists ethical code says journalists should: Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity.” But that’s what journalists did regarding Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broddrick, and Gainor’s employer did not like that.
Apparently, a little consistency is too much to ask from the MRC.
