Hot take: the media were well aware of all this stuff but were pretending otherwise because they were afraid of the "Believe All Women" and the "Muh Kavanaugh" crowd.
The media is ignoring whether the allegations are true or false because, if they did conclude they were false, they shouldn't be reporting on them at all, and there's clearly not enough evidence to conclude that they are true, but the ambiguous approach allows them to push a narrative about questioning whether the allegations are true or false without coming out with a definitive viewpoint, generating controversy and views, while also speculating on tHe ImPaCt On ThE rAcE that the media is so absorbed by.
