Masterson's stepdad: "I'm going to lose my son, HOPEFULLY..for 20-30 years"

You're talking about a case where the accused parties were found innocent. The law didn't fail them, the media did - and I highly doubt that was all "left wing" media, because the media in general thrives off sensationalism and creating boogeymen. Meanwhile the accuser got 18 years in jail. But here's the difference - she was severely mentally ill, hence the accusation - she was convicted of lighting someone on fire. Danny Masterson isn't mentally ill, he's only a symptom of a sickness that is the bro code that makes sexual assault not only permissible, but written off as "normal guy behaviour".

What happened to the 3 men in the Duke College rape case was extremely unfair, but the reason it was so easy to believe is because it's so common. None of the men were convicted, however, and they all received an apology from the university. That's more than most assault victims ever get when they're accused of lying or "ruining a man's reputation", not to mention that their assailants rarely get jail time at all, and if they do, rarely as much as what the accuser in the Duke College case got, let alone the Masterson case. Brock Turner only got six months.

Someone's reputation potentially being ruined is not worse than someone actually being assaulted. And again, it has nothing to do with the law, although the law is undoubtedly fallible. None of the Duke College kids were actually convicted, so they aren't in the same boat as Masterson who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
