Credibility Cards

It's my word versus yours. He said/she said. Hear say. When it comes to trial by media, the "who" matters more than the "what". Take rape for example. Ex-IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn had been brought up on charges for allegedly chasing a maid down a hotel hallway, then sexually assaulting her. Quite a strong, and specific, accusation. The case has been thrown out by US prosecutors, citing the accuser lacks credibility. Not a lack of evidence, a lack of credibility. The accusation may be true, but the source, the accuser, lacks credibility. What exactly is this "credibility", and where can I get some?

No need to check the polarity of your moral compass, when your stance is against rape victims, you may need to rethink your position. Unfortunately this vote was not spotlighted on any major news outlet, offline or on.
