I think its more about the fact that the accused is a celebrity. How often have we heard a celebrity accuse a random "regular person" of sexual misconduct?
Has that EVER happened? If it did, it would be interesting to see which side was dealt the "credibility card".
Also, as I'm sure you know, media outlets will do whatever it takes for the almighty rating/Neilson points. Playing the card of "well, do we REALLY know who Kobe Bryant is?" just begs for hundreds of programming hours geared towards having various pundits on the O'Reillys and Van Susteren shows of the world, serving no other purpose than to add as much dramatic flair to this case as possible.
and of course, they are just out to keep the black man down. (I kid.....I kid....)
can I get an "amen" from the congregation?!
