Can anyone tell me precisely what Hockenberry stands accused of?

[Brilliant]

Your tax dollars at work.

Hock!

That’s about three in a week at NPR.

Having to deal with my own physical limitations has given me an understanding of powerlessness, and I should have been more aware of how the power I wielded over others, coupled with inappropriate comments and communications, could be construed.

He plays the "paralysis card". What a douche !

...he said he was “currently searching for employment” and the last job she could find for him was as a guest host on PBS’s Charlie Rose Show, which has since been scrapped in wake of damning allegations against its host, Charlie Rose.

LOL!

“Can anyone tell me precisely what Hockenberry stands accused of?”

Doing his job more competently than these women.

I saw on Twitter that Broadway is next - that should be FABULOUS!

The march through the liberal institutions goes on.

Hope academia comes next.

When NPR falls victim to the antics of sexual predators, can academia be far behind?

I expect that several highly placed and long respected members of higher education circles are about to start having their dirty laundry aired, and thus begins the tumble of any number of emeritus professors and university presidents.

There has been one casting agent snagged, but the claim is there is a coming flood. You know it’s got to be a hornet’s nest of malfeasance.

.....”the antics of sexual predators, can academia be far behind?”.....

Heck this is now going abroad and they’ll soon be dropping like flies too!

[NorthMountain]

Names, or it didn’t happen ...

Oh ... wait ... They AREN’T hiding their names.

This, I’ll take seriously.

Sending emails? Really? These feminists are insane. They are creating a culture that any communication can be sexual harassment and women can accuse you of anything forty years late and outside the statute of limitations.

Worse than that, real harassment will be trivialized and men may not come to women’s assistance because of fear of being accused of something.

Personally, I think the big, ticking time-bomb is academia. Folks in lower education and college athletics blow up all the time, but I'm talking about the tweeds and brooches crowd.

I knew him before his accident. We were in a couple of local theater productions together. I remember him as being very gregarious and high energy. Years later when he began to have a career I heard about the accident. It was sad news.

That would be great - they are the smuggest of the smug.
