Will the last man left turn out the lights when they leave?
As of Monday afternoon, Lizza’s staff biography on the New Yorker’s website had been converted to the past tense.
Pasttensed - v. To be involuntarily unsubscribed.
Please don’t tell me that Mooch call (the one where Bannon was said to be pleasuring himself in memorable terms) gave Lizza any ideas…
That’s what happens when you try to mooch sexual favors from your colleagues in the office.
Well, it certainly looks like all these middle aged liberal commentators are falling like ten pins. Good to know that this kind of stuff doesn’t happen in the right wing press. At least, it makes way for some upward mobility for millenials.
There’s going to be no one left. I take that back. There’s going to be no man left.
I understand that the subjects of unwanted sexual advances or conduct may well want privacy, but in the case of public figures–those for whom the loss of a job will make news, as here–I am deeply disturbed over refusals to give even outlines of what happened. I’m not talking about the gory details–spare us those!–but whether the alleged harasser admitted to improper conduct, whether the conduct was in the office, and at least a general description of how severe it was.
Interestingly, I am on a list-serve of lawyers who represent employees in discrimination cases, and there was a long series of posts over whether confidentiality clauses in settlements (the discussion was almost entirely about sexual harassment) should be outlawed. For what it’s worth, the case for declaring them unlawful was mainly made by women.
The GOP is such an embarrassingly target-rich environment…
And this is becoming a purge solely of progressives???
Sure, all men who sexually harass and assault women hafta go.
But I’ve waited 26 years (!) for Clarence Thomas to get the boot.
And I’m still waiting…
I am calling the New Yorker to cancel my sub right now. Enough.
I can wait until tRump can’t name the replacement, then throw the asshole to the dogs
And that’s the way Sen Gillibrand wants it. Pushing Franken out was too stoopid.
SCALPS!!!
The witchhunt continues unabated…
May I offer you a cold Coca Cola?
“The New Yorker recently learned that Ryan Lizza engaged in what we believe was improper sexual conduct,”
Donald Trump accused: New Yorker uses “allegedly” and all the other forms.
Progressive journalist accused: Out on his ass and reported as though it’s been adjudicated as true.
News headline sometime in June 2018:
All remaining journalists, news anchors, politicians and other celebrities have just been fired due to allegations of misconduct at sometime in the past.
At what point will we start expecting our rock stars to behave like puritans as well? I’m really starting to wonder if anyone will be left employed or employable by this time next year.
No consideration of men’s lives. No due process. Automatic guilt. Even here, automatic assumption of guilt without a shred of evidence or context. Scary.
I refuse to support this union anymore, I’m not a masochist.
Hey, pretty convenient, right? Just pick the news networks/sources you think do the least footwork to research their stories and you’re guaranteed to have a management structure that fails to research the accusations…
O’Reilly and his boss got purged, after millions of dollars, and more than a decade.
I was just wondering…
Does anyone ever get praised for proper sexual conduct?
