NYT Scribe Jodi Kantor’s Recent Defense of Graham Platner Called Out Amid New Allegations: ‘How’s This Aged?’
- Critics accused The New York Times of 'Catch and Kill' tactics on Tuesday regarding rape allegations against Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, with accusers Lydsey Fifield and Jenny Racicot claiming the newspaper dismissed their abuse reports.
- Before Platner officially announced his Maine Senate campaign, The New Yorker, Bon Appetit, and The New York Times published profiles portraying him as a 'normal guy,' establishing his public image early through favorable coverage.
- The Times stated it 'could not corroborate' Fifield's story despite her providing names of former roommates as witnesses, prompting Racicot to come forward over the paper's treatment of the initial report.

- Critics argue the situation highlights a double standard: the 'believe all women' movement rallied to Platner despite abuse allegations, contrasting sharply with their response when Republicans face similar accusations.
