they haven t really apologized. they should. juan: who do you think the reporters are that mike tobin was talking about? katie: i m not talking about the local reporters. i m talking about the politically motivated activist democratic media complex who it amplify the story and from the beginning said how dare you say allegation? how dare you doubt what this man is saying. juan: i wonder which niche media celebrating this. katie: it s not a celebration. it s a vindication. lawrence: it s not a celebration but we do know is that the media rushed to judgment. celebrities went to instagram posting photos and they are sorry, that it s awful when it didn t happen. they should have waited for the facts. wouldn t you agree? juan: yes. but i know a celebrity. i know greg gutfeld. he didn t rush to judgment. he said we should wait. i said we should wait. i think most people said if this is true, the naacp later said
