I see that Vice is going through through their own issue right now. And of course Waypoint is getting bashed for not responding vociferously, when it's quite likely their hands are tied corporately.

Not shocking about Vice given their co-founders history and why he was kicked out. Shamefully they seemingly didn’t address any of the systemic issues and somehow managed to sweep it under the rug.
Last year, at the launch of a new Viceland show headed by women’s activist and journalist Gloria Steinem, Smith told The New York Times that he believed the universe had given him his two daughters “to help me understand the world better.”
Thing is, like with Franken, liberal bonafides or whatever mean shit. Men are socialized like garbage. Boys will be boys turns out awful dudes.
Also fuck Steinem and the feminists who come to the defense of men like Clinton because politics. Talk about shitting on your own damn legacies and accomplishments and general fucking ideology.

Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.
Genuinely surprised by the Charlie Rose stuff, although I knew nothing about him personally. Disappointing to hear about Tambor too.
Sounds like it had been an open secret with Rose. Time for there to be zero tolerance for this shit.
It's an important reminder to not get invested in actors, comedians or TV personalities even if they have appealing public personas.

I can see the Charlie Rose stuff. Last Week Tonight would always play clips of him being weird with his cohosts. Now, I never would have imagined that it would have gone any further than that, but I can't be shocked with all the video Last Week would show.

Norah and Gayle were also complicit in their involvement in what was clear jesting between friends. That's not what the WoP article is claiming.
He's the last of the Mike Wallace era US journalist left too which makes this a real disappointment. He's clearly finished now.

Who really knows how complicit they have been though? What if they were going along with him because that's "Charlie being Charlie." As if to placate him on air, suffer some playful humiliation and then get as far away from him off set.

There comes a point where we ignore our instincts for social graces or not trying to sound the asshole but some people are sketchy predators banking on that and lo and behold mr creepy turns out a certifiable one.

His firing was swift.
At least people are getting fired, I actually didn't expect any ramifications from this.
Did I give up on humanity?
Maybe.
Maybe not.

I can't stand hand wringing about different levels of treating women like shit in regards to sexual harassment and assault. The consistent "but dude was just gropey not a full blown rapist", "this is a conspiracy against x", that type shit I see made me straight up leave some social media groups recently. Shit is tired. Delineations made when it's all treating women like shit and unchallenged misogyny strikes me as some kind of defense mechanism of the self or bullshit tribalism and shilling. And it's also why we won't actually tackle this issue for reals. We pretend these are individual monsters and not byproducts of a millennia of women being domestic servants, sexual objects and baby vessels. We pretend it's just endemic to certain professions and microcultures rather than an exaggerated version of cultural constructs we've already well established and happen on the regular to women everywhere with even less celebrity and political capital to vocalize their experiences. We also have folks pretending it's a GOP only issue with no self-awareness to how talking shit about "party over country" while you back some handsy asshole because he's liberal makes you a god damn hypocrite too.
And fuck SNL and its former staffers coming out to defend Franken, this is a show in which Alec Baldwin (whom we have on recordings bullying his own 11 yr old daughter and has been quite earnest about treating women like shit) comes on to pillory the right about its own treatment of women. Self-righteous sanctimonious hypocritical self-serving smug shit.

The statement is kind of ambiguous (and stupid) I'm left wondering why he even said what he did.

“Saturday Night Live” took on a wide array of current events in this week’s episode, from O.J. Simpson’s prison release to the mass shooting in Las Vegas. But one news story didn’t make the cut: the sexual harassment allegations against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
“SNL” writers had prepared multiple jokes about the alleged misconduct, a source told The New York Times. But, according to the Times, the skits were pulled at the last minute “because the material seemed to fall flat with the show’s studio audience” during a dress rehearsal. In the end, there were no mentions of the story on the show, even in its news-focused “Weekend Update” skit.
When asked about the omission, “SNL” executive producer Lorne Michaels told the Daily Mail that, “it’s a New York thing.” The Times’ source explained that Michaels meant that the allegations might not be familiar to a national audience.
The show has in the past taken on similar allegations against President Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, and the late former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes.
Matt Lauer fired over "inappropriate sexual behaviour".
Slightly off topic, but there's a situation where and curious to know the wider communities thoughts:
Some drinks were being had at a bar (office part of some sorts) anyway long story short someone and a female seemed to get close, having an intimate conversation alone in a booth, it seemed quite flirty from a distance but I guess no one could verify what was being said however the males arm eventually was around her.
Fast forward a few days it turns out this said females boyfriend found out she spent and it develops the said male put his hand on her leg which she is saying was an unwanted advance and has now become an issue?
What say ye of this?

here's some money
here's a service
thank you, bye
Her boyfriend had an colleague who was also at the same bar (who reported back to her bf the scenes from the evening which could be totally innocent tbh) and she is now saying out that he made an unwanted advance (placing his hand quite high up her leg under the table). Which may be true who knows, I think his angle is we were drunk thought there signals etc. but I kinda think wtf kind of advance is placing your hand on her leg anyway.
NYT was putting something together on Lauer so the network is trying to stay in front of it by ridding themselves of him now. The details should be interesting.

But who's really to say? Tough situation.
That story is filled with fuckery, before you even get to the guy placing his hand on her, tbh. Then too, I'm pretty sure that you mentioned that your work culture is pretty out there. Even still, he shouldn't have had his hands on her anyways.
Boy it's going to suck for some of these guys if it turns out any of the allegations that are able to be investigated turn out false.

Matt Lauer is an asshole. I bailed on the show after Ann Curry was done dirty. The shot callers at NBC were in Matt's corner and were trying in every way imaginable to make like bad for her. Do a search on "Operation Bambi" and you'll read all the nonsense that went on behind the scenes.
Fuck Matt Lauer and don't forget Al with this stinger:
And the reckoning is in full effect. If you've messed with women. guys. etc, you're done, except for Tr*mp, Franken, and Roy Moore.

she got caught out there and he about to be in some shit because of her.
or perhaps it was an unwanted advance. but given the events laid out my mind goes to the former.
