Waiting for evidence to be gathered, then even a criminal or civil trial being held, is only for certain people as you well make it clear.
Sure, the Hollywood moguls (the villainous rich) get slammed because they are NOT popular today; but popular actors and actresses get a pass (Jessie Smollett comes to mind).

Trump is anything but a popular President (and I'm not defending anything he may have done). We had an earlier popular President who claimed to the camera "I never had sex with that woman", only later to be found to a serial liar, and now has admitted to more affairs while in office. The media's response to this popular man was that sex was private and therefore anything he did in that regard didn't matter. Kennedy was doing Marilyn while Jacquelyn was pregnant. It was known that Kennedy was hot tempered and rude with his family. Yet, what did the media do with this popular President? Made him king over a contrived Camelot. Not conjecture: fact. Where's the hate and loathing?

We have a Presidential candidate whose nickname for decades (even among journalists) has been Creepy Joe for the way he openly fondles women and kisses them without their OK. But because he's also popular with the same media, he's not a misogynist: he's merely "tactile" and overly friendly the same way Clinton wasn't a bad guy, he was just "Bubba".

This is NO defense of any President or politician nor is one party better than the other in this regard. I'm saying that a rush to judgment is purely according to popularity and media choices as to who gets Bar-B-Qued and who gets defended. Sometimes it is according to what groups, ethnicity, even gender a person is. And sports figures regularly get a pass..... unless they are accused of doing something against a woman. Then, it is anti-woman to even question whether the accuser is truthful or what the motive might be.

This standard of popularity (or lack thereof) for any group of people, combined with who is making the accusation, is how people are immediately judged today. And if someone is popular, and the accuser is NOT popular or in vogue, then no amount of evidence of their bad behavior seems to even matter.
