Which publication?
MSM isn't one I know.

All of mainstream media. This is from the front page of The Guardian. Reuters and many more were also are happy to write an article accusing the man of sexual assault in the headline.

There was no official complaint launched against Karim Khan, and no evidence of any sexual assault, making the motives of these papers questionable at best.

Most notable is this happened a while ago and nothing came of it. But the papers suddenly launch a coordinated barrage with this headline.

(Assuming this isn’t facetious) MSM= MainStream Media

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sure. But I still don't see any identifying marks for the publication.

That's a pretty broad umbrella to just say MSM. This could be the Sun or CNN. It could be Uncle Tony's Racist Daily. General lumped of news publications doesn't help if you want to be informed.

True enough. In this case, the article’s from The Guardian. Spotted it elsewhere. I agree that identifiers should have been on the post for legitimacy’s sake.

Oof Guardian was not who I was expecting but thank you for doing the leg work for OP.
And yeah, just don't want it to be a place to post whatever source for the outrage engagement alone.
