This Fox News opinion piece argues that the sexual misconduct allegations against Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate in Maine's US Senate race against Republican incumbent Susan Collins, expose what the author sees as inconsistency in the media's handling of #MeToo cases. Platner suspended his campaign on 8 July after the allegations, and the article contends that broadcast networks were slow to cover the story and that some commentators sought to downplay the claims because Platner is a Democrat. It matters, the author suggests, because it reveals a partisan double standard in how such allegations are treated.

The piece focuses on New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, whose Weinstein reporting helped launch the #MeToo movement and inspired the film "She Said". The author criticises Kantor for describing the Platner allegations on CNN as "not classic #MeToo accusations", noting they arose largely in the context of consensual relationships. The claims, reported by two other Times journalists on 4 June, drew on accounts from ex-girlfriends including Jenna Racicot and Lyndsay Fifield, who alleged a pattern of "unsettling behaviour". The article also cites pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson's dismay at the dismissive tone, Fifield's account of being smeared after coming forward, and "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin urging Democrats to stay strategic.
