lol.

And media has the nerve to get on their high horse about politicians and sexual harassment. They need to clean their own house first.

It looks like we've entered into a time in which allegations like this become the norm and victims of sexual assault, especially women, are gaining the power that they deserve to receive justice and let others know that it's okay to report such acts.

As mentioned on twitter, I wonder if this widespread culture of sexual harassment in journalism had any effect on coverage of the first female major-party presidential nominee.

Agreed. I just hope that the reaction is for Americans to awaken to the reality that is pervasive sexual misconduct in our country (often identified as rape culture), rather than a hostile reaction or one of dismissiveness.

Not just with regards to 2016, there is also a tendency to blame '08 exclusively on Palin, ignoring the greater structural GOP deficits at the time.

No. W's approval was in the mid-twenties and McCain was totally clueless about the economy, which became the dominant issue after Lehman Brothers.

Wow. There's an ever steady stream of allegations everyday. Now that's what I call draining the swamp.

First things first: which party is at fault here? Democrats or Republicans?

Men with power can't help but grope women it seems.

I never liked him so I'm not surprised.  I never liked Al Franken either.

Unlike Mr. Rose, who built a career on appealing to those interested in informing themselves and otherwise appealing to parts of humanity's better nature, President Moron has built his backing among the dregs of the swamp: the assaulters, the wanna-be rapists, and the delusional and ignorant.

Yes, it appears Charlie Rose is a hypocrite and that doomed him. When it comes to bei g an abusive sexist bigot, Trump wears his label openly. Do you think it would matter if Alex Jones faced the exact same aaccusations Charlie Rose has? His viewership would probably go up!

I don't like it, but we're in a cultural war now. Trump didn't start it, but he escalated it, partly by making it clear how big the stakes really are. I think that is part of what has broken the dam on sexual abuse and assault.

Eight women accuse eminent journalist and talk show host of sexual harassment: liberal media fire him and cancel his show.

Twelve women accuse reality-tv star and self-promoter of sexual harassment: Republicans make him President and worship him as a god.

I hate when random people on the internet claim to have inside sources on something but can't prove it.
