    Chris Hansen will get caught in some stranger’s house when a boy pretending to be a girl offers him lemonade and tells him to have a seat.

    He already got caught in an affair (with a local TV reporter) and NBC got lots of distance from him immediately.

    Cosby verdict might have distracted from this, but how sleazy is this? Charlie Rose is a repulsive attention whore.

    Women don't make this kind of stuff up -- unless it's against powerful members of the media.

    Brokaw's denial hits all the high notes.

    She's just a bitter failure:

    Instead I am facing a long list of grievances from a former colleague who left NBC News angry that she had failed in her pursuit of stardom.

    I was planning on spending my time as a liberal activist, and this false claim is interfering. (Reminds me of Weinstein saying he was going to spend his time fighting the NRA.)

    I am angry, hurt and unmoored from what I thought would be the final passage of my life and career, a mix of written and broadcast journalism, philanthropy and participation in environmental and social causes that have always given extra meaning to my life.

    If you feel like you've been sexually harrassed, you call the person and say 'Hey, I'd like to talk about this.'

    I worked a lot of late nights in an accounting firm, and you work with a whole bunch of different people, both men and women. I can recall with 100% accuracy that I never leaned in for a goodnight kiss with a female associate.

    On the Ann Curry/Lauer stuff, it's probably only coming out now instead of 2012.

    The heads at NBC couldn't understand the initial charge from Curry because she stumbles so often on her words when speaking.

    This is really disgraceful. As bad as Lena Dunham.

    Despite a well sourced claim in the Post, an on the record accuser, a half admission by Brokaw, and no investigation to support his story, these women are standing by the powerful man who claims the woman made everything up because she failed in her pursuit to become a star.

    Tom Brokaw is a mealy mouthed, lying asshole. Fuck him. He had a syndicated "Patriotic Minute with Tom Brokaw" on sports radio in LA not too long ago. Petros, to his credit, mocked the fuck out of him.

    As long as they stuck to established facts, I don't see the problem with this:

    Allegations had been swirling around William Jaworski for years.

    An associate philosophy professor at Fordham University, Dr. Jaworski was accused of making female students feel “uncomfortable” and “unsafe,” according to a letter he received from the university. Many formal and informal complaints were made against him, two of which were substantiated, one for sexual harassment and another for unprofessional conduct. The letter said the “pattern of behavior” had gone on for over a decade.

    So at the beginning of this semester, two seniors, Samantha Norman and Eliza Putnam, decided to do something about it. On the first day of class in January, they visited two of Dr. Jaworski’s Philosophical Ethics classes, taught at the university’s Lincoln Center campus, in Manhattan, before the instructor arrived. Standing in front of a white board with about two dozen students folded into desks in front of them, they delivered a warning.

    “We introduced ourselves and said, ‘We just want you to know that there’s a history of allegations against this professor and multiple Title IX complaints,’” Ms. Putnam said.

    They told the students to take care of themselves and take care of each other, they said. They were in and out in less than five minutes.

    Just a few days later, the women received an email asking them to meet with the department of public safety. At first, they thought the university might be trying to learn more about Dr. Jaworski’s behavior. But it soon became apparent that they were the targets. The university began a formal investigation as to whether they had violated its code of conduct for dishonesty, disorderly conduct and verbal harassment.

    I hadn't heard of this until Mack's name came up, but she really isn't that big of a star. I can't remember seeing her in anything since Smallville went off the air and that was about seven years ago. Chloe got herself into some messed up stuff.
