That would actually be really, really good. The Purge of 2017 has been excellent and will hopefully continue well into 2018.

It looks indeed far-fetched. But about as much as a story about Chloë Moretz dating John Malkovich, and shot in black and white with the same style as Manhattan.

Troubling flaws, huh? You had a rape door in your office, you sick fuck!

In the mid-80s I was student teaching at a high school in New Jersey and Geraldo came over to do a story about the school (it was a prayer-in-school issue, don’t ask). Even back then the teachers were mumbling to each other about keeping him supervised when he was around the students. His repuation as a creep is long…

And yet, he got $25 mill a year to do it, while most “true” journalists usually get priced out of the market because they can’t live on $36,000 a year.

Yes. It’s like the assistants who would help lure and then strand actresses in hotel rooms with Harvey Weinstein. Shitty people will do shitty things and that’s always been the case, but the staff of people who work to support this kind of behavior that really creep me out.

“Have a great summer!”

This is one aspect of this story that I find extremely interesting. Like, if you were the maintenance guy or gal tasked with installing a secret button to lock someone’s office door, wouldn’t you be like, “What the fuck?” I would be checking and double-checking with management, HR, and probably the legal department…

Its the sex-predator version of “Thoughts and Prayers”.

Maybe once he’s got people locked in his office, he spends fifteen minutes explaining the details of his nefarious plot for world domination, one female NBC employee at a time.

No, that was actually thing thing he felt was untrue or mischaracterized, right there. He didn’t have a door lock button in his desk “like a James Bond villain,” he had a door lock button in his desk “like an Austin Powers villain.” It was right next to the one that drops people into an incinerator!

The guy reads off a teleprompter for a living.

When you have a friggin button IN YOUR DESK that locks your office door like a James Bond villain, you do not get to claim that “Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized.”

You’re wrong.

“There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for doing the things I would still be doing if those reports hadn’t come out.”

You’re 100% correct. By making the vague comment of how some of the accusations are untrue, he’s essentially casting all the accusations into doubt. Now, without specifying which one, he’s basically saying which ever accusation is worst, that’s the one that’s false. Or perhaps only the most minor ones are true and the…

Matt, you were doing so good until you got to the “Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized” sentence (the fourth sentence in your apology). Even if it is true, c’mon, you’re a journalist. You’ve seen these apologies before - wait until later to address the inaccurate ones, or even false ones,…

No, you’re not sorry about your victims. You’re sorry you got caught. You’ve been doing this for years. You have no shame. You don’t care. You’re a predator. Fuck off. Never work again.

The thing is about these apologies is that they cannot work in serial predation cases. One offs, yes, since people can make mistakes.…

What’s with all this ‘soul searching’? Sounds pretty fuckin useless
