    Left / Right... I don't give a fuck about your politics. I'm confused though... why are all these actors / writers / comedians / celebs literally being fired within hours of mere accusations yet NOT ONE politician either Dem or Pub will step down / is forced to resign when hit w/the same type of accusations? Not...fucking...one...

    @PonyBoy - it's because of how our news media and culture work in terms of the ability for the public to respond.

    If Matt Lauer gets accused of assault but remains a host on the Today show, they lose ads and viewers at an astonishing rate. It'd be difficult to come back from at a PR level.

    Politicians, meanwhile, simply have to wait out election cycles. Even then, they don't answer to news directors, but rather can purchase the news directors (or just a shit ton of airtime). All of this on top of natural voting demographics being what they are and the American electorate generally having tunnel vision when it comes to allegiance, you have pedophiles with four point leads in Alabama and predators in the Oval Office.

    If our election system was reformed it could lead to greater, more immediate accountability (or at least things like not being backed mysteriously by out of state Super PACs), but as it stands the people who are most likely to have their careers ruined by this will be exclusively public figures who depend on consumers to respond at some level to their presence.

    • That's a good answerFax_Benson
    • meanwhile tax dollars are used as hush money to cover-up the politician's BS... oddly enough being reported to us 'consumers' by... well... not Matt Lauer LOL!!PonyBoy
