Is one allegation really enough to fire someone? Is this a preemptive strike because of expectations of more to come? Is this a modern day Salem witch trial situation?

Matt Lauer fired for sexual harassment complaints
Without knowing the details of the allegations, it is starting to seem to me that the pendulum might be swinging a little too far on this one. While I think it's good to have much of this exposed, I wonder if perhaps some of this is going a bit too far in terms of repercussions? NBC is saying they have only had one allegation against him.

At @Variety, @RaminSetoodeh & I had been working on a Matt Lauer story for months and NBC was aware. There are multiple women we've spoken to with far-ranging accusations against Lauer. The power of journalism has never been more evident with this cultural change.

and apparently NYT coming out with more accusers later today...
I predict Kamala Harris will announce she was sexually harassed by her "boyfriend" Willie Brown next.
Me too
ROFL
and here is the douchebag's almanac for wednesday, it is the 29th day of november 2017...
on this day in 2017, garrison keillor has been fired from MPR for "improper" behavior.
keillor retired last year from his longtime radio show, but still produced “The Douchebag’s Almanac” for syndication.
be well, do good work, grab some ass, and keep in touch.
And what about Jesse Jackson ???? Women have been practically shouting about him for evah...
Guess there's been a war on women and the women are fighting back.
Very bad news for many Democrats and a few Republicans
heh. trump actually went there:
Donald J. Trump

So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!
9:14 AM - Nov 29, 2017
"unsolved mystery" = dead intern in morning joKe's office.
heh. trump actually went there:
HARD TO BELIEVE TRUMP IS A BIGGER ASSHOLE THAN YOU RATHOLE....
They left fell all over themselves reporting locker room talk.
When they where out committing sexual crimes.
I love it.
First Trump said,
I said I did it,
but I never did it,
and I apologize for saying it.
Now he says,
I maybe never said it.
Too weird for words.
ESPN and NFL get a lesson in Capitalism.
Piss off their viewers and watch your book value decline.
ESPN firing 100 + workers.
What?

So the perfect kansan asshole thinks trumps locker room talk is acceptable...maybe he should have grabbed your wife pussy and bragged about it. Do you actually think he didn't do what he said.....???? My guess is you think trump is omnipotent. LOL
NY Daily news writes trump is nutz......the pussy grabber is guiltless LOL
After his latest spasm of deranged tweets, only those completely under his spell can deny what growing numbers of Americans have long suspected: The President of the United States is profoundly unstable. He is mad. He is, by any honest layman’s definition, mentally unwell and viciously lashing out.
Some might say we are just suffering through the umpteenth canny, calculated presidential eruption designed to distract the nation from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, or perhaps from unpopular legislation working its way through Congress.
Quite possible. But Occam’s razor, and the sheer strangeness of Trump’s behavior, leads us to conclude that we are witnessing signs of mania.
Early Wednesday morning, Donald Trump or whomever was manning his Twitter account retweeted, seemingly at random, three videos of supposed violence against Christians by Muslims.
Trump tweets 'fake news' anti-Muslim video from far-right leader
At least one of those was long ago debunked. The words of the tweet spread to Trump’s 43.6 million followers referred to a violent young man pictured in a video as a “Muslim migrant.” The perpetrator appears to have been neither a Muslim nor a migrant.
Trump is broadcasting discredited hate videos even as he now tells multiple people in his inner circle that the real, verified “Access Hollywood” video in which he boasted of grabbing women “by the p---y” — words for which he has already publicly apologized — was falsified.
By engaging in the little Islamophobia-fest, Trump amplified the handiwork of a leader of Britain First, a fringe, far-right political movement that is the rough equivalent of America’s white nationalist alt-right.
It's fun watching liberals chasing the shiny ball of Trump's twitter account.
Now back to the topic on hand. Lauer is now accused of false imprisonment and multiple acts of sexual harassment and that executives at NBC News covered for him according to an article in Vari.
I don't think Matty boy will be the last head to roll at NBC.

Good, now when will the liar in chief's accusers be believed?????? And when will he resign, since there are only 17 known women who have accused him of inappropriate behavior....Did he buy their silence????? And it appears you accept his explanation that all of them are liars.....Yer a joke.....
