Actually, it isn’t really fair to single out the New York Times, but this characterization of Herman Cain sexual harassment accuser Karen Kraushaar is emblematic of the news media at large:

Mr. Cain has said he does not know [Sharon Bialek, who was the first woman to publicly accuse Cain of sexual harassment]. But her decision to step forward contributed to Ms. Kraushaar’s decision to go public the following day, after a week in which she was known publicly only as a former restaurant association employee who had received a $45,000 settlement after accusing Mr. Cain of harassment.

That’s true-but-misleading, as the Fact Check Hall Monitors might say, because Kraushaar only decided to “go public” after she was publicly outed by The Daily, The Daily Caller, and the New York Post.

Not to get technical about it.
