The Krauss Allegations

Lawrence Krauss, famous physicist known for his work in QED, has recently been subjected to a Buzzfeed "investigation" regarding his sexual behavior. It has become a warlock hunt, as the main accusers will not take the matter to the police, and the person who published them on her blog took them down as she was afraid of losing a defamation case.

The claims are unsubstantiated and come from people who share a political affiliation with others against Krauss and his friends such as Richard Dawkins.

It seems due process has gone out the window, and the new norm is to go directly to the media to take a partisan position, and take advantage of the social media traffic and monetisation on youtube.
