> Then when those accusations prove to be bullshit, crickets.

Yeah, a nobody (in the public's mind) making false accusations is not a story worth telling.

Facebook stealing billions worth of IP is.

That's obvious so far, isn't it?

Though you are right with news reporting giving unproven accusations and in-process trials far too much weight. This is not just happening with 'hated' entities like Facebook, but also publicly unknown individuals. It clearly can convey a distorted picture of the facts.
