Flash and Supergirl Showrunner Andrew Kreisberg Fired in Wake of Sexual Harassment Allegations
- PonyBoy0
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...
- *cough*
The President
*cough*kona - *cough*
take his ass out... but to do that you have to hold your own responsible too... good luck!
*cough*PonyBoy - *cough* trump isn't guilty only if clinton is *cough* clinton isn't president *cough* hillary isn't either *cough*monospaced
- *takes another nice rip*
*cough*monospaced - *cough* yes, that is what you said *cough*monospaced
- here we go again... logic is too much for you, mono? YOu don't get to hold one side responsible and give the other a pass. Conyers...Franken?PonyBoy
- Take down Moore... take down Trump... TAKE THEM ALL DOWN if they're scum... but you DEMS won't kill your own. Glad I switched to the ol 'I'.PonyBoy
- you literally said "you have to hold your own responsible too" AS IF trump can't be taken down without Clinton going firstmonospaced
- You dems are an embarrassing lot who could care less what 'your side' does. If they match your ideals these guys can abuse all day long...right?PonyBoy
- straight up, that logic is flawed ... and YES, take them all down, I AGREEmonospaced
- but to imply Trump is somehow dependent on Clinton is idiotic. Period.monospaced
- If your answer is 'no'... THEN TAKE THEM ALL DOWN. You'll EASILY take out the Orange Turd in the process.
Step up, cowards.PonyBoy - i don't recall ever saying one person or another shouldn't be held responsible.kona
- Your continued insistence that Republicans can't be targeted or incriminated without Democrats first is so insanely illogical it hurts. They both are!monospaced
- what i do recall saying is it's reprehensible that the recent republicans discredit the accusers as much as they do.kona
- mono—the argument in the media will be "if you're not holding the left responsible— why hold the right responsible?" Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?PonyBoy
- and p.s. every dem aside from franken has stepped down since 2010.kona
- mono... your continued desire to ignore 'your own' and only go after the pubs is disgusting... end of story.PonyBoy
- What cowards are you even talking about? The Republican majority Senate? The R. majority House? The R. run Whitehouse?monospaced
- I'm NOT ignoring my own! What the fuck are you talking about?monospaced
- Again—Left or RIGHT I don't CARE. Take them ALL OUT. Set a fucking precedence already and clean fucking house like the private sector.PonyBoy
- Your reasoning that the right is only accountable if the left is first straight up omg/yuritard level of stupid.monospaced
- Yes, TAKE THEM ALL OUT. I AGREE.monospaced
- But the situation right this ACTUAL MOMENT is that Trump REFUSES to admit Roy Moore is guilty. The CURRENT President of the USA.monospaced
- You have the most selective understanding / reading skills of any QBNer... you're IMPOSSIBLE to have a conversation with, mono. :DPonyBoy
- LOL. I LOVE YOU!monospaced
- I have incredibly good reading skills, as a matter of fact. You seriously keep implying republicans can't be targeted until dems are, AS IF dems were in charge.monospaced
- And just admit you're afraid to see any left TWAT go down in flames. Dems and Pubs are equally disgusting... I'm merely asking you hold BOTH responsible.PonyBoy
- That makes no sense. Seriously. Have a great night. *cough* *cough* time to go make dinner.monospaced
- I have never said you can't go after Pubs w/out going after Dems (that's your selective reading skills, mono). I've only said you can EASILY...PonyBoy
- ... take out the Orange Turd IF YOU EAT YOUR OWN FIRST. You're guaranteed the end of Trump if you take down a Clinton... but you're too scared. ;)PonyBoy
- You're free to go after any righty you like... but GOOD LUCK WITH THAT if you don't hold the left accountable too... doesn't work like that.PonyBoy
- "ou seriously keep implying republicans can't be targeted until dems are"
No sir I am NOT. :) SelectiveMono!! Go back and read slowly...PonyBoy - ... I'm an advocate for taking out all the scum... LEFT OR RIGHT. You have no chance to take one or the other out if you're not equally just.PonyBoy
- And you two should get those coughs checked... mines from all this glorious weed I smoke.PonyBoy
- i’m too high to read all these comments, but +1 on the postGuyFawkes

@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

Matt Lauer is still going for a $30 million dollar payout for ending his contract early. Smooth move, exlax.

But, honestly it wouldn't be the first time a creep like this secures a golden parachute on the way out.
- they really shouldn't give it to him. it makes his firing for ratings and advertisers only. it's still a cosign.shellie

- Update: He's not going to get it.

Pamela Anderson: Weinstein’s Accusers Knew What They Were ‘Getting Into’ by Going to Hotel Rooms Alone
- Ahhh the voice of sexual reason, at last..********
- she's gonna get blasted for victim-blaming. sense has no place in identity politicsGnash
- People hate when the "use your common sense" argument is made, but she not saying they deserved it.robotron3k
- She's dating Julian Assange. What is life?shellie
- "Send someone with them to the hotel... they should know better.."
What the actual fuck... so that is actually the problem?Fabricio - "Hey girl, your skirt was too short, thats why you got raped.. you should have actually used something else that night"Fabricio
- ^ not what she's saying at all. the problem is the rapist, clearly. she's not transferring blameGnash
- "if he answers the door in a bathrobe, don't go in"Gnash
- I got beat up by a gaggle of skinheads once because I wore a DuranDuran t-shirt to a Black Flag concert. I knew it wasn't a brilliant ideaGnash
- 3 broken ribs later and I rethought my ironic fashion choices at future gigs.Gnash
- was it fair? was my shirt the problem? was it my fault? no. But I still got traumatized.Gnash
- In Brazil, a gay person is murdered every 23 hours. Me and some other friends were warned to not hold hands in public...Fabricio
- So, if I get punched in the street, or worse.. murdered...is it my fault that this happened because I could clearly see what possible outcome of this situation?Fabricio
- And not the animals who are actually causing these violence?Fabricio
- I will NEVER understand this logic, that someone in power, using his resources and influences to get what he wants, and still, somehow...Fabricio
- Pamela-Fucking-Ander... believes that these girls should know better than going to a hotel with a guy like this alone for a meeting...Fabricio
- It is ok to expect that the person wont be a sexual creep, dickhead or a creep. If we start thinking that people "should know better" in every fucked up situatiFabricio
- situation... then we are indeed.. FUCKED!Fabricio
- PS: Sorry about your broken ribs Gnash :( Still, yeah, the idea wasnt great, but the animals that did this to you is the wrong part of the story.Fabricio
- for sure they were. and it's obviously not something I need to consider every moment as you do. my situation was insignificant compared to you.Gnash
- I only think that Pam wasn't trying to blame the girls here - only that it was well known about him. If they didn't know then their agent should have.Gnash
- Past experience has also taught me not to take back-alley short cuts anymore. I know it's not the same but that's 'my' vs of common sense', as wellGnash
- and of course it's not your fault if you're attacked. I can't even imagine how horrible that would be, not being able to express yourself for fear of violence.Gnash
- didn't mean to suggest otherwise. my apologiesGnash
- Nah, no need to apologise man, I can see your perspective too... but I think that Pamela, as a woman, shouldnt even place the victims as that you know?Fabricio
- The girls Weinstein moved towards were people that were in disadvantage professionally, he had control of the situation... so it wasnt black and whiteFabricio
- Im a bit drunk now... so my arguments will be weird hehe :)Fabricio
- booze, an excellent lubricant for discussion -- but go have fun, instead :)Gnash
- i don't think she's blaming these women. Nor taking away the pain. Its a shit interview with shit direction directing.mugwart
- these guys are cunts and have been in a power role in a golden period of money. Hollywood has always been a cesspool. ITs heart breakingmugwart
- it was one of Lynch's themes in all his films. Especially MD.mugwart
- its fucked as to get the role they had to get in the hotel, no way around it. These cunts felt they had to own people. but you dont need me to say this.mugwart
- Yeah, I've watched this interview several times now... and maybe she didnt mean to come across like this...Fabricio
- Agree with you all********
- Apart from chukka, who didn't even say anything, but I definitely don't agree********
- Just watched a painful talk from black flag designer at the new museum.notype
- Fabricio- that is why she used the words "common sense" meaning that one is able to see a dangerous situation and avoid it. Therefore that person has agency.cannonball1978
- If you climb a mountain and its a volcano and you die, you can certainly complain that the volcano had all the power, but you're still an idiot.cannonball1978
