Bill Cosby’s legal saga continues, but the latest twist—his inability to attend a scheduled deposition due to poor health—smells fishy. His lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, claims that he can’t make it because he’s “no longer in good health.” Really? This is the same Bill Cosby who once strutted around like he owned the world. Here we have a classic case of the corporate media playing along with the narrative, showcasing only the deflated, victim card version of the once-beloved comedian.

Mainstream outlets like CNN and MSNBC are quick to latch onto Cosby’s excuses, presenting them with all the sympathy of a Hallmark card. They paint a picture of a frail old man dodging accountability, while glossing over the mountain of evidence against him. This is what happens when the narrative must fit the agenda—puffing up the notion of frailty while relegating the serious accusations to the fine print.

Fox News has a different spin, often framing Cosby as a martyr to the unjust system that has conspired against him. They ride the wave of sympathy without acknowledging the very real pain suffered by his victims. The truth is, both sides are missing the point: accountability doesn’t vanish just because someone’s health declines.

We need to call out this double standard. If Cosby is indeed as fragile as they claim, shouldn’t that also magnify the urgency of his legal responsibilities? The media is creating a narrative that serves one man while conveniently ignoring the voices of those he harmed. It’s time to demand a fair discourse that doesn’t let narratives distract from justice.
