    Brokaw’s gonna take this one on the chin.

    This’ll go on and on for years to come. There are men out there who know, too, it’s coming for them.

    Whatever the excuse is proffered, its like my 60+ buddy and I have discussed, the appropriate/inappropriate line was/is not that hard to see if you're a good, moral person.

    Why is “Petros” linked to his Wikipedia page in your post?

    I thought that some folks did not know who he was. I thought some folks might be entertained by more information.

    Was odd to not put his full name and link to his Wikipedia page. That’s all.

    Did he rape her that night or on another occasion? Who many women did he force sex acts upon? Which ones were fired for not submitting?

    So, NBC fired Matt Lauer, immediately, when presented with credible claims of sexual harassment.

    But, instead of doing an independent investigation, they launched an in-house investigation, that has returned no findings yet, five months in.

    And, in the case of Tom Brokaw, they won't do any investigation, and have closed ranks around him.

    They also have no appetite to deal with Joy Reid's homophobic comments, or the lies she peddled in trying to deny making them.

    It's really quite something.

    And then we have this...



    Is it a case of #MeToo, or something else?

    The Times won't say.

    It's just incredible how these major media organizations don't abide by the standards and rules they demand of others. Hopefully someone reports this out.

    You're not wrong here. Corporate ownership truly sucks.
