Guest shiloh357 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 On the same day the giant Christmas tree is being lit outside NBC studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City, the network dumped one if it biggest stars. “Today” show co-host Matt Lauer was fired Wednesday due to inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace, an incident "Today" honchos said they learned about just two days ago. According to The New York Post, the alleged incident occurred during the coverage of the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Lauer's stunned co-anchor Savannah Guthrie was joined by Hoda Kotb to announce the news on "Today." "This is a sad morning here at 'Today' and at NBC News," Guthrie said before reading a note from NBC News Chairman Andy Lack. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/11/29/nbc-announces-today-show-co-host-matt-lauer-fired-due-to-inappropriate-sexual-behavior-at-work.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder - how many current politicians and media celebrities who have harassment (or worse) skeletons in their closets must be silently quaking in their boots - hoping 'their sins to not find them out'?

Blessings, -Ed I agree, Ed. It seems once the genie was let out of the bottle, she has run wild over the entire spectrum of society. I think it's a good thing but why did it take so long? These 'stars', politicians and other public figures have to be, as one friend put it, as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Something else to think about is that Matt Lauer made Hillary absolutely furious when he went off script during a public townhall styled meeting and asked her some uncomfortable questions and there were comments made that she was going to get him fired from NBC. This victim didn't ask for money, but for Lauer to be fired. That was her only demand, as I understand it. Makes me wonder if Hillary might have something to do with this.

If the people are guilty, and it can be proven, fine. Fire them, suspend them, or whatever you think is necessary based on the seriousness of what they did. At the same time, nobody should be automatically fired based on an accusation, not even liberals. I don't doubt some of these people are guilty. Some have admitted to it, but there is no way I believe all of the accusations are true. I don't believe ALL of them are true either. In Lauer's case though, there is proof in emails sent to various women. And he has admitted wrong doing as has Al Franken. In a case like Barton's, he's not guilty of anything excep0t being stupid enough to send out nude photos. But that's not a fireable offense. Moore and Conyers deny everything so we'll see.

I thought at first it was an effort by liberals to take down as many conservatives as possible before 2018. But its happening to liberals as well. Now, its anybody's guess.
