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.

I’ve said for years that everything liberals do is to increase their chances of getting laid. Support homosexual agenda and marriage. Strongly support trans freak agenda. Promote promiscuity. Devalue family values and morals. Sustain welfare state. I could go on.
I am starting to wonder if any of these accusations are revenge rather than harassment.
Where does one go to have their good name restored after a false claim?
At this point it seems it is bordering on extortion for pay off.
It's not something that a gentleman should ever presume. That kind of thing should require permission and be undoubtedly consensual and private. You don't use a flamethrower to light a candle.
“It’s not something that a gentleman should ever presume”
Acting like a gentleman or being a gentleman in real life is no way to make it in show business these days.
Being a newsreader or journalist shouldn’t ever be considered “show business.”
Is there an ABC form for this?

Also rubbing his little woodie against them, willy-nilly, which is known to cause women to line up outside an office door, hoping only for a little--yes, that word again--of same.
What exactly is the age limit? Does one apply for a card, as with AARP?
Gee, where have I been? About 40 years in work force including the “Mad Men” era and never saw/heard of any of this crap. I think most of what we hear is a figment of ill imagination.

Different experience totally. Rarely had a job where something wasnt attempted EVEN IN SWITZERLAND where the real sheep are bolder than the men. My poor shy Swiss boss there called me in for some official reason and said to me in English (we spoke only German normally) Foxy Lady. I made a face and he said, in German, Dont they say that in America? And I said Not at work they dont! Poor shy innerschweizer married man, he may have been traumatized by his big try. I felt bad for h8m, lol.
Only one boss I had for a very short time went too far literally, trying to dictate I dress inappropriately for real. I was out of there in 2 Days.
I’m sure stuff went on but just wasn’t made a big deal of. Not being a woman I guess I’m not the one to judge.
If you think putting a hand on a someone’s derriere is sexual assault, I can’t help you.
Okay. So grabbing a little ass is fine.
But according to your posts of just a few days ago, if a man makes a joke about a woman, that’s an unacceptable offense.
I’ll try to keep that straight if we are ever introduced.

There is no comparison between Bill Cosby and Elder Bush allegations
Not even remotely
Old man Bushs touches are just silly geezer in a wheelchair fumbling
He touched my upper thigh or butt
Cosby raped women unconscious on roofies
What about Chris Dodd and he and Teddys waitress DP?
Thats the urban legend
Endless posts from bitter divorced guys who denigrate American women on a regular basis, post disgusting remarks about American women on this supposedly conservative site while lauding the sexual prowess of dumb but acquiescent Vietnamese women, is what I object to. That it is American women who contribute money to this site and yet have to put up with this increasingly awful stuff is what I object to.
That is very different from an obviously old man who is either beginning to suffer from dementia or, at the least, has lost his filter. He did not “sexually assault” anyone and if you or others think he has, we are on a slippery slope to hell.
You are turning into a biddy and, like Nancy Pelosi, can't quite seem to keep your querulous pronouncements straight.
Imagine if it were Bill Clinton in a wheelchair who was grabbing these women by the ass...you would leap to his defense too?
Or is it just that when you "met" Grandpa Bush, as you are so proud to point out, you enjoyed it too much to complain?
