CNN has reported that five women have accused Mark Halperin of sexual harassment during his time at ABC News some years ago.
Halperin has been an MSNBC contributor for years, and a regular on the Morning Joe panel. Mika Brzezinski addressed the story this morning:
"CNN is reporting allegations regarding our friend, Mark Halperin . . . I'm sure we'll be talking about it again when we know more about it."
My take: it might sound like a cliche, but I was surprised and saddened to see the story. It's easy to lump all MSM figures in the same biased boat. But as an observer of Halperin for many years, he has struck me as someone who goes out of his way to see various sides to a story, and doesn't get swept up in the conventional MSM wisdom of the day. He has frequently acknowledged the media's liberal bias.

So my take-away is every man has sexually harassed women everywhere all the time and they all kept quiet until now.
Let’s put it this way, his so-called apology did not leave me with any inclination to believe it was sincere.
If true, he is gross and needs the snot beat out of him.
I’ve been wondering about Scarborough too. BTY, I looked up Halperin. He’s been living with a woman for years & had a baby with her in Feb.
Create a world in which feelings and allegations by a protected class are more important than law. Throw blood in the water and then have the audacity to whine about unintended consequences. Irony is not the strong suit of the left.
Someone floated the theory when the Weinstein thing came out that a lot of these male liberal scumbags are liberals and feminists because it both promote their access to the women who they want to exploit, as well as protects them and gives them power due to being so chummy with the liberal power political class and feminists. Was it Rush who said this?
The pattern certainly seems coincidental at the least.
“But it does seem that a witch hunt is on”
I agree but when it comes to amorous advances, discretion is required by men. Many women like men to show that they are attracted to them. Why else would they fix themselves up so beautifully and be flirty?
The goal of a guy’s advances should be to convince the woman to be attracted to him.
Right now is a bad time for men to be making crude, unwanted advances toward women. But “crude”, “unwanted” ... some women might love that.
Not just sad.....SICK!
Look at what passes for “sex ed” in our schools today. It’s all sick
In reading other stories about him I was surprised to read at Wikipedia that he was a conservative and a Trump supporter. Always seemed like a liberal hack to me.
Sorta seems this way. I worked for the Federal Gov for many years, and we would take mandatory, yearly "Sexual Harassment" workshops. As much as I hated it at the time, I found them quite good. They clearly spelled out what constitutes "Sexual Harassment", as opposed to just flirting or regular male-female behavior.
Soon to be replaced by Homosexuals?
Don’t believe everything you read on Wikipedia ... it’s fraught with errors and misinformation/disinformation. Community based editing will do that.
Wait till she reads the background on her fiance Joe Scarborough!
Take down all photographs of Bush I from the Internet and those in the White House NOW! /s
Well ok then, that really is disgusting. I am surprised no one has complained until now. But I guess women now feel more free to come forth with their stories, after ‘Hollywood’ led the way.
About as bad as watching a couple of snowflake, Hollowoody bimbos accusing George H.W. Bush of groping them from his wheel chair. Now that’s sick.
Yep. In past halperin attempted to be more centrist. Last year or so he is cnn/madcow material
Good ear.
Brother you can't go to jail for what you're thinking
Or for that woo look in your eye
Standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
That was then ...
But *today* particularly there are clear and powerful motives...financial,political and otherwise...to make false claims.
I don't have the first clue whether this claim is legit or not,I'm just sayin'....
