Right and not to further politicize it all but I plan to refute this point with the fact that liberals are clearly the only ones holding their constituents accountable. The difference in this respect, is that conservatives are still giving their disgusting leaders passes. Shame on all of them.

I wish all the idiots whining on Twitter were reading the stories. It seems clear that NBC has known Lauer was a skeezebag for years and was ignoring it. Now the tide has turned and it’s no longer good for their bottom line to keep him on so they’re dumping him. Be mad at NBC because they tacitly approved of this shit…
So NBC News spiking Ronan Farrow’s Weinstein story starts to make a lot more sense....
Seriously, we’ve been hearing about Lauer for years. No way they don’t know he’s an asshole. And double fuck him for the way he went after Clinton as opposed to trump. Guthrie did the same shit. Clinton comes on, and she gets serious face and puts on her big journalism pants. Fuck. These. People.
“Finally gotcha, Asshole.”
Fuuuuuuuck no. I don’t think Guthrie seems teary but if she does it’s only out of relief. I sincerely believe the Today Show folks - particularly the women - are either fantastic actors or victims of Stockholm Syndrome.
Read about this on the NYTimes site and of course, every man in their comments section feels that this was a “rush to judgment” and “McCarthyism” around men’s sexual proclivities. They just don’t get it.
Friendly reminder, relationships between superiors and subordinates are presumptively coercive!
But NOW who will dress in drag next Halloween??
Yuuuuuuuuuup
Yes. I had a tingly Spidey sensation that this was only a matter of time for Lauer. And reporting on this sort of shit about other men for the past few months must have had him shaking in his little peacock feathers.
I would have to assume that NBC had plenty of evidence, even if it’s circumstantial, to make this move. Social media seems to be full of people deriding NBC and siding with Lauer because he’s “guilty before proven innocent”. It wouldn’t be a stretch for them to have known about rumblings and, given the current climate…
Matt Lauer’s firing was about as expected as Donald Trump’s incompetence. Figuring out who sexually harasses women isn’t very difficult to predict. Lauer consistently gave Trump and O’Reilly a pass on their shitty behavior while grilling HRC about emails and telling her to keep her answers brief.
Finally!
Somewhere Ann Curry is tap dancing.
Argh! I knew I wouldn’t be the first to post an Ann Curry Celebration gif, and this one surely won’t be beat.
Does anyone buy, for even a minute, that Guthrie and the rest knew nothing about Lauer’s long-rumored issues? Please. Burn it all down. Starting with rapist trump.
Aww applesauce, sure is swell to see all those bluenoses get the old what for. Grab some giggle water and pop some ankle ya ducky little shin crackers!!
