so I’m starting this thread unconnected to a specific person so we can uncouple the response from ones political leanings, likes or dislikes. So O’Reilly or Lauer, R or D politicians, how should the accusations be handled? I’m very nervous about some Neil-McCarthy style system where just an accusation can ruin someone, but I’m also not comfortable not giving adequate weight to the victims accusation, especially in situations where there are multiple credible accusers. Any thoughts?
I say everyone from mayor up burns at the stake and we do a hard reset. Guilty by association. None of these cock suckers are spotless.
I think what we're seeing is how fucked our society has been for a very long time when it comes to people in power. The entertainment industry is especially bad because these people have power, and they use that power to take advantage of people under them. But why didn't these allegations come out earlier? It's not like we haven't had a ton of sexual harassment issues come up in the past 20+ years. It's mandatory training at my work. I think it's something that has been overlooked for a long time because these men had power, and the people they're abusing are letting it happen because they don't want to ruin their career. The casting couch has been around for a very long time.
Make me in charge of these decisions. Moore... GONE Weinstein...GONE Al Franken...keep your job if you want with an extra dose of public humiliation. It's easy for me. I'm very good at grey areas. Make it me and SlyPokerDog and every vote has to be 100 percent or no action taken. Seriously though, this is going to be brutally unfair if people who work for liberal companies did the same thing as say a Fox News guy. Life ain't fair so fuckem.
Lauer and O'reilly both got the same punishment from 2 different Networks. I'd say since NBC was recently bought by Comcast that they have a more corporatist view.
Meh, I don't buy it. When you report sexual harassment, HR does a thorough investigation so they don't get sued. Lauer has lawyers. This investigation has been taking some time I think.
One thing I refuse to do is link Louis C.K. in with any of these guys. Politicians have been doing this shit, shit with kids etc. the pizza gate people tried telling you but you wrote them off as conspiracy theorists. Look where we are now. I’m not saying the whole idea of pizza gate was correct but the politician pedo shit is spot on
They were written off as conspiracy theorists because that's what they were. The fact that a bunch of guys are sexual offenders does not prove or even suggest any sort of conspiracy among pedophiles. Roy Moore is a pedo, but he was hanging out at the mall, not in the imaginary basement of the pizza parlor with Hillary. barfo
Nope, even when I'm guessing I'm usually right. They would have covered it up if they could. MONEY money money! https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/matt-lauer-accused-sexual-harassment-203431791.html
