@Redacted Tonight: Why do only sexual harassment scandals get people fired?
Click on CC for accurate English subtitles. TRANSCRIPT: As you surely know, Matt Lauer was fired from the Today Show after complaints of ongoing sexual harassment, and his co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb came out and addressed it in a somber report, saying they were devastated for both the victims and their friend Matt Lauer. It was similar to when CBS This Morning co-hosts Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King came out earlier this month and announced that Charlie Rose had departed the show due to sexual harassment allegations, and that is the right thing for these shows to do. I agree. I just wonder: why is this the only thing that gets news anchors fired? I'd like to see a somber moment where Savannah and Hoda start the Today Show and it starts out, "We regret to announce Matt Lauer will no longer be with the show because it came out that he helped manufacture consent for the war in Iraq which killed roughly a million people. You know, we're learning this news this morning, like you are, so we're devastated for both Matt and the millions of victims of that war." Where is that? Where is that beginning? How about the co-hosts of CNN come out and... "Unfortunately, Jake Tapper will no longer be with the show. It turns out there are allegations that he has for months now hardly reported on the US-backed genocide in Yemen. He has glazed over or ignored... he has glazed over or ignored countless war crimes during the Obama administration and sure, some people write it off as 'everyone was doing it back then,' you know. It was just the thing to do, but that's not really good enough, okay? We should hold our news anchors to a higher standard, and I can tell you.... I can tell you that despite working alongside him, I did not know at the time that these behaviors were going on, okay? Sure, I thought something was up. I heard strange noises coming from Jake's office, but I just never put two and two together, but now that the brave victims have come forward, it's only right for him to step down, as have Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon, and pretty much everybody here at CNN. I mean, I was a key grip earlier this week." But seriously, this repulsive sexual harassment, sexual abuse behavior of these guys... it should get them fired. They should be fired for it, but why only sexual harassment? Bill O'Reilly, who was finally fired for sexual misconduct, went on the air every night and spouted racist shit, just loads of ignorant crap spraying out of his bloated face. Shouldn't that get networks to reconsider someone's employment status, or what about Congress? What about Congress? A lot of politicians who are under fire for sexual harassment have voted and pushed for all kinds of death and destruction, imperialist wars, charging people for life-saving health care, literally giving out tax breaks for people paying sexual harassment settlements, all the while letting Puerto Rico die. Could we get someone fired for that too, maybe? Maybe dock their pay a little bit. Maybe take away their nice parking spot or something!
