As someone who works in corporate America, none of this is surprising. I have seen men far less powerful and profitable than Matt Lauer be protected. I can think of a recently retired employee here who had countless problems working with women—not sexual harassment but losing his temper, treating us like we were…

At least Bush showed up and laughed. Bush was a bad president, but at least he could take a joke.
Obviously, they hated Stephen Colbert back in the day too. That said, do you think the set would have been perceived differently if it was a man telling the jokes? Is she being dinged for not playing nice, like a good girl should?

“I Wanna Hold Your Hand” remake by Lakeside is how it should be done. I have no idea what she was tryin to do.
I’m almost 100% positive she’d sing better if she were a 300lb black girl.
That is the music you hear as you are put under and carted off to hell.
Feel free to dismiss your troll pathetically whining for attention, I hear being ignored drives them NUTS. Particularly with his entire <10-comment-total-history being made up entirely of trolling...
EXACTLY. The vague unseemliness just all makes sense now. He really seemed to champion these young female artists and their work, but there was occasionally this weird emphasis on how SEXY their work was, as if sexiness was their most important virtue. But, that all fit in with the “dirty old man” act he seemed to…
I’ve been a huge follower of John for years, from the time I noticed his name in insider ‘zines, and recognized his work on design and layouts for Saturday morning stuff from DiC and Hanna-Barbera, just before his association with Ralph Bakshi and The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse put him on the map. But this…
Marc Summers is known to be a huge jerk to his employees at his production company. Nothing too bad, but apparently he’s not the best boss
Everyone who worked with Kricfalusi knew he was an abusive asshole. I was low level employee at Viacom in the 90s, and the stories about his bad behavior were rampant. It’s possible that management didn’t know he was a predatory sexual harasser at the time, but they knew he treated people like shit. Nobody reported…
Yeah, this one isn’t a surprise. It’s been well-documented that this guy was a sexist, emotionally unstable turd.
So, I teach Rhet/Comp (argumentative logic in a written capacity) at the college level, and have for the last twelve years.
The level of obfuscation, dissemblance, and general reliance on logical fallacies that this administration continues to engage in is absolutely flabbergasting. I’m no political pundit, but I do…
That’s great and all, but what bothers me about these arguments is that you guys act like a president works by themselves. Obama worked with a GOP led congress that actively worked against him to an extent that many people had never seen in current U.S. politics. They weren’t interested in climate change legislation…
You are assuming she doesn’t have chops less than a month in office. Franken grew into the role over time, and given her background, she has a lot less ground to cover than he does. Stop holding women to a higher standard than you do for men.
I agree with your points, but in this particular scenario, it’s looks pretty damn poor that the candidates/reps affected by her decision amounts to “basically all women in the dem party, plus some dudes”.
Campaign donation limits = the solution to rich idiots having WAY too much power and influence.
I’m already sick of the apologists claiming “It was a JOKE! He was on SNL!” like that makes it ok.
