Matt Lauer didn't argue when his employer confronted him with allegations. Conyers denied but resigned meaning they were certainly true. That's their form of due process. If the allegations were false, they should have denied and used their public positions to plead their case. That's what Roy Moore is doing.
You're right, due process is important. Look at Duke Lacrosse team as a perfect example.
Wondering what sort of recourse you might favor in cases like that?
I understand the bar is quite high to win judgement against a new purveyor for false, misleading, or inaccurate reporting.
You know we hold certain profession to a higher standard, perhaps its time to look at this with established media outlets?
Perhaps that is the fix to all this ill begotten anger, etc?
