Another member of the Mainstream Liberal Media bites the dust. This perv-purge of Moonves adds another major player to the multiples purged at all 3 alphabet networks; ABC, CBS, NBC; e.g. Lauer, Rather, Williams, Rose, … and there are several dozen others from NPR, Hollyweird, The US Congress, etc..
I am interested in knowing WHO knew about Moonves’ harassment actions and when they knew. Some of that may never be revealed. Why not ask SI Robert ‘Clouseau’ Mueller to investigate it? Oh, yeah; he’s busy investigating something that didn’t happen, looking for a crime where there is none, to generate campaign donations and votes to Dems for the midterm elections. Never mind.
if your only defense is “the other side does it too!” you have no defense. Wrong is wrong, regardless of political affiliation. Hypocrisy is still hypocrisy. Most kids can tell you that at a certain age.
Nope. My point escaped you. Read it again, along with my list posted moments ago.

Did Moonves fire Dave ‘Lefterman’ after the Stephanie Birkitt affair incident was revealed ? Nope; the legal action would have revealed HIS harassment activities. THAT’S Hypocrisy!

I await your list of others beside the 3 I listed, to prove that sexual harassment was rampant and tolerated at Fox News. Tick, tock, tick, tock…

I do see your point, Yogi. Les Moonves is an absolute creep and there was and is a culture of cover-ups and corruption in the media.
MY POINT, which YOU fail to grasp, is that wrong is wrong, regardless of political affiliation. Fine, CBS is a bunch of dirtbags…so is Fox News, which tolerated and covered up O’Reilly. Admit it, or admit you’re a partisan hack. tick tock, tick tock….

I NEVER said Fox News PERSONNEL were right in their harassment. My point eludes you. Re-read my point about the ACTIONS of the MANAGEMENT / OWNERSHIP of Liberal Mainstream Media once they knew about the harassment; e.g. Lauer. Also consider the LONG TERM knowledge of many Hollyweirdos about Weinstein’s perv practices and NO RESPONSE by any of them; i.e. they accepted it and hid it until the Asiago Argento woman spoke to the NYPD and broke the dam open on accusers stepping forward. Fox immediately acted to oust the pervs… that’s a BIG difference, and it eluded you, or you ignored it in your agenda to deflect the criticism of Liberal organizations enabling harassment to continue for decades.

I saw no proof that FoxNews covered up the O’Reilly accusations. There were settlements that weren’t revealed due to the nature of non-disclosure agreements. If you wnat to prove that point, go ahead…. there are dozens of such cover-ups by liberals; e.g. Hillary covering for Bill must have generated at least a half-dozen such cover ups. Think about all of them made for Weinstein’s sake.

Fox should have suspended O’Reilly as soon as they discovered the allegations, then fired him when he settled. According to our president, you don’t settle when you are right. Then again, he does lie A LOT!

Ron; when did FoxNews have conclusive proof of O’Reilys’ wrongdoing? Compare that time frame to that of Moonves at CBS…. and now, Fager at 60 Minutes.

Further, please explain WHY liberal media news outlets PROTECTED their pervs FOR DECADES while Fox fires them almost immediately in nearly all cases, and certainly in 100% of cases they know about.
Lauer will likely only broadcast from a bunker studio, and not any major or minor network; news (e.g. ABC, CBS, NBC) or comedy/ fiction (e.g.CNN, MSNBC).

Here’s the list of accusers, to prove CBS covered up the sexual harassment by Moon-perves for many years; Golden-Gottlieb, Pallingston, Green, Morris, Silverthorn, and Kitay.
What both sides seem to like is pointing fingers at the other side and saying “SEE THEY DID IT TOO”. I fully agree that wrong is wrong and harassment like this should be eliminated wherever and whenever possible. While it is not right to condemn without investigation or force resignation without due process, in today’s environment, it is easier for the rich to just walk away without admitting wrongdoing. The “hubbub” will die down fairly quickly; so in this case Moonves can live VERY WELL without his $80 or $100 million severance package. Paying $20 mill to #MeToo is patently unfair if he gets the remaining $80 million. Those less fortunate and with less to protect are put in prison for such actions. Just as RIGHT IS RIGHT, FAIR SHOULD BE FAIR regardless of wealth or status. Our system of crime and punishment is an abomination from the viewpoint of true justice. It is a legal system, not a justice system!!
We have had a double standard on justice in this country for quite a while. All you have to do is look what has gone on for the past two years. The guilty have not been charged and the innocent undergoing harassment and charges which are not true.
WRONG, AGAIN! I don’t support EITHER SIDES’ PERVS. I was pointing out the double standard and difference in responses by liberals and conservatives after the pervs are outed to public shaming. Clinton is still considered to be a great guy by many liberals. THINK ABOUT THAT before you reply with the wrong context of this discussion. And re-read the article.

I’ll bet women at CBS are glad to have LESS Les.
yeah, maybe now the CBS scandal will make people forget about the bastion of morality that is the culture at Fox News…
Besides O’Reilly, Bolling, and Ailes, who you got?
Don’t forget Liberals Eric Lamont, Gretchen Carlson, and Bob Bechtel in your list.

Polar, Lauer arrogantly proclaimed he would be back on the air soon. Where is he going, MSNBC? As nasty as they are, that is about his speed.

agreed. this is not a punishment for Moonves.
