If it's bad for Hollywood, it's good for America. Ending of careers, ending of projects, lost profit- it's all good for us.

What's that? Lost tax revenue? BFD. The way the US gov't (and the state of California) waste taxpayer dollars, it means nothing.

The movie industry in Hollywood didn't become a cesspool of amoral misfits. It was always so.

While money isn't everything - it's too bad most of the slimeballs are already rich.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of perverts.

Somebody may have already pointed this out, but wasn't Spacey in a movie in the 90s about being a gay guy that murdered his younger lover in Savannah?

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. IIRC

I thought Spacey played his character too well in that film.

Where are all the chicks with pussy hats to protest these (alleged) sexual abuse claims by these high profile figures?

Man, that was a strange movie.

Great book, though.

Am I alone in that I'd never heard of this guy, Kevin Spacey, until this week's headline occurred.

Or is/was he pretty much a nobody to begin with?

Great. Almost bedtime and I have that picture in my head now.

He was really good in the few films I have seen, including L.A. Confidential, Glengarry Glenross, and The Usual Suspects. Won a couple of Oscars.

Not a nobody.

You have to be joking.

Netflix basically fired the guy today.

Not joking. I watch VERY little TV, and I go to like one movie per year.

TCM has James Stewart as their star of the month. To kick it off, there was a 1987 documentary on Stewart that was hosted by Johnny Carson.
As I watched it, it was clear to see the difference between Stewart and our current crop of "stars" is enormous.
Stewart was the real deal, both on and off screen.

More of the great purge - these sexual harassment and abuse stories of the left are endless.

Vox Media Dismisses Two – 8 Members of Elite Media Accused of Misconduct Towards Female Staffers

With the news that Vox Media has dismissed two employees, including a high-ranking editorial director, it is becoming increasingly obvious that throughout our elite media — the very same media that told us “binders full of women” disqualified Mitt Romney from becoming president — there is a culture that enables the systemic sexual harassment and abuse of female staffers.
After a former employee accused the company of ignoring and even tolerating sexual misconduct, Vox Media fired editorial director Lockhart Steele late last month. The timing of Vox Media’s inaction and eventual action suggests that the company had no intention of doing anything … until this employee went public.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that, on Friday, another Vox Media staffer was forced to resign. This person remains unnamed, but a now-concluded investigation into the scandal forced this person to exit the powerful media company.

Vox claims an investigation into these allegations was done in 2016 but that Vox Media chief legal officer Lauren Fisher now wishes she could have investigated the claims “more vigorously.”

Vox Media is a left-wing media outlet, home to Ezra Klein’s “explanatory journalism,” The Verge, Recode, and a half-dozen other “progressive” sites.

The company has posed for years as a moral authority on the issue of sexual harassment. Last year, and with great fanfare, the company announced an initiative to stop online harassment.

Vox’s unnamed employee and Lockhart Steel, along with NBC’s Mark Halperin, NPR’s Michael Oreskes, Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, the New Republic’s Hamilton Fish and Leon Wieseltier, and Mother Jones’s David Corn, now add up to eight members of the elite media accused of everything from indifference to harassment to groping.

And yet, the cover-up continues.

Those within the elite media with something to lose by admitting they knew and did nothing continue to claim they knew nothing. Meanwhile, those with nothing to lose (or gain) by saying so continue to inform us that almost every one of these cases was either an “open secret” or previously reported to a media company in the form of a harassment complaint.
