The pattern is that journalists investigate politicians and call out their lies. Increasingly, the pattern with Polanski himself is that he keeps lying about things.
To believe otherwise, I have to believe there’s some ‘correct’ proportion of scrutiny for each politician, that it’s currently not correct and that you know what the correct proportion is. I see no reason to believe most of that. In your case, it’s obvious you think the correct amount of scrutiny for Polanski is ‘none’, a condition that should never be satisfied.
