I'm praying that someone would find that FOX's Shepard Smith is a diddler. Love to see him go.

Yes, anyone who listened to his stupid shit for more than fifteen seconds has been victimized by this DNC tool.

Is this some sort of bandwagon phenomenon?

#Me Too

In that case, I'd like to come forward as a victim. Matt Lauer sexually assaulted me as well. He played it off as a drunken rendezvous in an outhouse, but I was an unwilling participant. This occurred back in 1997.

Hopefully, the next winner will be Shepard "I can't get enough hard cock" Smith.

When he was set to interview Clinton the DNC and NBC had agreed in advance on a script of questions that would present her in a favorable light. Lauer had second thoughts at the last minute, and changed the script to begin the interview by asking her some email questions. She was totally unprepared. After they went off air Clinton screamed to her aides that she wanted Matt Lauer fired.

The abrupt firing of NBC Today Show co-host Matt Lauer prompted cheers among Hillary Rodham Clinton’s loyalists who feel the he was extraordinarily mean to her — and soft on President Trump -- during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“Another person whose interview with Trump was ridiculously soft and interview with Hillary was incredibly tough: Matt Lauer,” tweeted former Clinton aide Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress.

Another former Clinton aide, Verrit co-founder Peter Daou, wrote on Facebook, "Matt Lauer was fired today. One by one, we're finding out the true character of the male journalists who treated Hillary Clinton (and her voters) with seething disdain."

“Remember when Matt Lauer kept interrupting Hillary Clinton and asking her about emails, yet went easy on Trump?” tweeted Rolling Stone contributing editor Rob Tannenbaum.

These douchebags can rationalize anything.

Oh, yeah, Lauer was mean to Hillary. Yeah, he's a secret agent for the Right.

And to the Hillary supporters, let me take this opportunity to say that that old crone will NEVER be POTUS.

It is said that the CEO of a company sets the culture / mood of the company he leads. The same is true for the top honcho of a country.

I remember it well under President Reagan.

With President Trump, who is not of the establishment, perhaps women who saw what happened to their own during the Clinton years, now feel more empowered to come out, with a non-establishment dude at the top.

Is it not also true that the rape victim is usually the one on trial in a rape case? Which is why many women do not report it?

So, as some woman suggested on Rush's show a few weeks back, I think the change at the top, may have helped empower female victims at this time.

My line of thought might be a stretch, but how else do you explain it? Witch hunt, perhaps, but that would make more sense if it were all republicans being accused. We're seeing just the complete opposite here. Interesting indeed.

Look at their way of doing things.

Their definition of being 'easy on Trump' was probably just being fair and decent towards him. So many douchebag 'journalists' try to make a name for themselves by trying to 'destroy' conservative politicians/candidates. We've all seen this - the dem getting softball questions while the republican gets mercilessly hammered.

Their definition of being 'tough on hillary' was probably just a 'normal' treatment that any 'lesser' candidate would experience.


I'm glad this pompous dirtbag is out. His Olympics coverage almost made the games intolerable to watch for the past several decades. The only good part was when he got pink eye. . .

The president speaks:



Interesting...Here is background on Scarborough story he referenced:

http://gawker.com/remember-whe...carboroug-1711985081

Remember When a Dead Intern Was Found in Joe Scarborough's Office?

Back in 2010, Markos Moulitsas, better known as the founder of the Daily Kos blog, was a regular guest on MSNBC. The pairing of a liberal blogger and a liberal network was a natural one, so Moulitsas was used to going on TV and swapping insults about Republicans with Keith Olbermann or whoever.

That state of affairs came to a screeching halt in July of 2010, when Moulitsas found himself summarily blacklisted from MSNBC. His offense? Mentioning, on Twitter, the strange, sad story of Lori Klausutis, the intern who was found dead in Joe Scarborough’s office when the “Morning Joe” host was still a Republican congressman.

Here’s their exchange:

Markos: Like story of a certain dead intern. RT @JoeNBC: Luckily for the White House, the media has been negligent on this story since Day 1.

Markos: But if you want to talk about bullshit “scandals”, @JoeNBC, there’s this one about Joe Sestak and the White House you might’ve heard of.

JoeNBC: @markos Unbelievable. You have a long history of spreading lies suggesting I am a murderer. This is the 3rd or 4th time by my count.

Markos: @JoeNBC, I’ve never suggested you’re a murderer. I’ve noted media hypocrisy in going after Gary Condit. But he was Dem. You aren’t.

JoeNBC: Anyone in media who interviews @markos, know that you’re extending your credibility to someone who regularly suggests that I’m a murderer.

Markos: A bit touchy, @JoeNBC? Links for where I accuse you of being a murderer please.
After this happened, MSNBC president Phil Griffin wrote to Moulitsas to say that he was banned from the network. It was one of the more bizarre pieces of cable news weirdness in history. It was also one in a long line of mini-wars Joe Scarborough has waged in an effort to stop getting people to insinuate that he killed his intern.

Let’s get one thing clear: There is zero evidence to suggest that Joe Scarborough had anything to do with the death of Lori Klausutis. But the story of Klausutis’s death has nevertheless haunted Scarborough over the years.

A journey into the time machine is necessary at this point. We emerge in May of 2001. The world is merely a pit of misery, rather than the apocalypse-lite horrorscape we’ll all get used to in the coming decades, and Florida Republican Joe Scarborough has just announced that he’s resigning from Congress after a mere six years in office to spend more time with his kids, one of whom has just been diagnosed with diabetes. It’s an abrupt end to a brief political career.

Fast-forward to July 19, 2001. Two people looking for assistance in an immigration case open the door to Scarborough’s district office and find a grisly scene: Lori Klausutis is lying dead behind a desk.

From an Associated Press report:

A 28-year-old office worker for U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough was found dead Friday in the congressman’s district office.

Preliminary findings from the medical examiner’s office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide, said Police Chief Steve Hogue.

Authorities identified the woman as Lori Klausutis of Niceville. She had worked for Scarborough since May 1999, said Mick Serrano, press secretary for the congressman.
A month later, a medical examiner concluded that Klausutis had been feeling unwell and had died after heart problems caused her to fall and hit her head on the desk. There were no apparent signs of foul play. Case closed.

The medical examiner’s ruling didn’t satisfy a surprisingly varied cross-section of armchair conspiracy theorists and Poirots, though. There were your garden-variety crackpots. But there were also people like Vanity Fair’s James Wolcott, whose mention of the case prompted an outraged Scarborough to write a lengthy letter to the magazine in 2005 (Wolcott apologized for bringing the story up):

His libelous charge, pulled from a hate site on the Internet, led readers to believe that a good woman named Lori Klausutis carried on an adulterous sexual affair with a congressman before being killed in a sleazy sex-scandal cover-up. The article also suggested that this imaginary sex scandal forced me to leave office. I was painted as the Republican Party’s answer to Gary Condit, saved from prosecution by a right-wing media machine.

[...]

Here are the facts Vanity Fair and James Wolcott would have learned had they spent five minutes on the telephone engaging in rudimentary fact-checking: (1) Lori worked in my annex office in Okaloosa County, Florida. (2) I met her no more than three times; I was never alone with her. (3) I didn’t leave Congress because of her death; I announced my retirement from Congress in May 2001-she passed away several months later.
Michael Moore also faced Scarborough’s wrath after he “registered the domain name JoeScarboroughKilledHisIntern.com,” another Vanity Fair article notes. (The website never really got off the ground.)

Then there was Katherine Harris, the cartoon villain who went from helping tilt Florida into the Bush column in 2000 to running for Senate in 2006. That campaign was a legendary disaster, but one series of calls Harris made garnered particular attention. From the Miami Herald:

Katherine Harris’ floundering U.S. Senate campaign lost its high-level staff again this week and is groping for a message - which doesn’t surprise Republican insiders who trace the seeds of her trouble to the story of “Joe’s dead intern.” This wasn’t any old Joe.
It was Scarborough, host of the prime-time MSNBC show Scarborough Country and a former Pensacola Republican congressman who was courted by national Republicans to run against Harris. But before he could announce he wouldn’t, Harris called major donors and suggested Scarborough would have to answer questions about the strange death of a former staff member in 2001, according to two former high-level Harris staff members, a GOP donor and Scarborough.

An especially fascinating wrinkle in this ongoing saga is the heated battle about it on Wikipedia. There are pages and pages of arguments about Klausutis in the internal editorial discussions. There’s even some (seemingly fake) person claiming to be Joe Scarborough who keeps weighing in. Here’s one excerpt:

Joe Scarborough again. Though I am pleased that 50% of my life as described by Wikipedia no longer involves an event that I had absolutely nothing to do with, I am surprised that Wikipedia continues to allow Gamaliel to remain an administrator when she has shown such bad faith in this matter…
These continued skirmishes have clearly not hindered Scarborough’s media career, but not every fight has been won. His Wikipedia page currently includes this unsourced passage: “There had been speculation that Scarborough was having an affair with one of his Congressional aides, Lori Klausutis, who was later found dead in Scarborough’s office after allegedly fainting and hitting her head on a desk in July of 2001.”

Lost in all this fracas, of course, has been Klausutis herself, whose story is a grain of sand in the annals of pre-9/11 America. Meanwhile, Joe Scarborough has failed upward, again and again.

For those of us who don't know, what's the back story here?

For the last 10-15 years he has ruled the NBC news room. He has used his influence and contract to make and adjust casting descions not just for his show, but most of nbc's news crew. If he did not like you, or the show you were on you were axed. It was kind of a a local NYC tabloid. Every few months the locals was run the gooey gossip on the society pages. He went through at least 5 or 6 co hosts (maybe more i never watched his show) in the 3 years I lived in the NYC area. His morning show was (may still be) NBC's cash cow. He used that as his bully pulpit for internal politics.

Here is one example i found in a quick search.

Here is a list of former co-hosts. Not listed are all the temp stand in co-hosts that entered and exited from 2006 on.

I don't believe that was Lauer. I believe you're referring to/thinking of Bob Costas.

This was missed, two weeks ago:

quote:

NBC News has fired Senior Vice President, Booking, News & Entertainment Matt Zimmerman after he “engaged in inappropriate conduct with more than one woman” at the network.

Zimmerman is widely known to be one of “Today” co-host Matt Lauer’s closest associates and confidants at the network. He worked for years as Lauer’s personal booker, and expanded his remit to oversee all of NBC News’ guest bookings as Lauer’s power grew in the organization.

“We have recently learned that Matt Zimmerman engaged in inappropriate conduct with more than one woman at NBCU, which violated company policy. As a result he has been dismissed,” an NBC News spokesperson told Fox News.

"We have recently learned that Matt Zimmerman engaged in inappropriate conduct with more than one woman at NBCU"
- NBC rep
Zimmerman’s dismissal comes as NBC has faced embarrassment and a barrage of criticism for spiking an explosive expose on sexual misconduct by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. The New York Times would eventually break the story, which led to a barrage of high profile men being accused of sexual harassment.

NBC News president Noah Oppenheim, who is believed to have overseen Zimmerman, has come under particular fire and calls to resign for spiking the Weinstein story.

I've been thinking about why there are relatively few abusers on the right. It is certainly arguable that leftists naturally lack the normal maturity and self control that children develop as we become adults. Their childish sense of entitlement and zero consequence (for them) mindset is ossified in place.

But I think two other things happened. First, leftist men saw how Bill Clinton got away with raping and assaulting women and thought that as leftists that they too could abuse the fairer sex. Second, many potential abusers concluded that if they joined ranks with the left, they would have license to abuse women at will.

So ultimately, The left can thank Bill Clinton for making them the party of serial rapists and abusers.
