Matt Lauer Out at NBC

[whichwatch]

What for you ask. What else, sexual harrasment. A co-worker gave a detailed account of what happened. NBC has reason to believe there is more so the fire him a day after the complain was filed. NY Times supposedly has been investigating Lauer for weeks about alledged harrasment. He's been the cornerstone of the Today Show for 25 years.

I read that about an hour ago.

I can honestly say I had no idea who that is. Havent watched any news shows since I lived at home before Navy and college. Guess Im out of the loop

 

[rugerguy]

Matt Lauer is Ellen Degeneres' boy "playtoy"........ 8) :roll: :wink:

NBC likes to keep it all "in the family" :?

 

[w5lx]

Are you all referring to Matt Liar who used to host the Today Show? How sad.

One of the biggest anti gun idiots in TV gets fired for being a weeniewagger. It figures.
I have noticed that a large number of anti 2nd amendment types are weeniewaggers and lesbians

Yup. And then they like to accuse us responsible gunowners of "overcompensating" for something.

Ha! Good riddance, pervert. :twisted:

 

[hittman]

Every man who is now, or has ever been, in a position of authority over female subordinates has reason to be very frightened right now.

This accuser is being described as a "brave colleague who came forward" yet ~ remains anonymous. :?: Hmmm......curious indeed about the bravery portion.

I personally don't care for Mr. Lauer, his politics or his former employer but ....... I'm not dancing in the streets considering the manner in which so many are being accused and convicted without even knowing who their accuser is.

At this point I wouldn't be surprise if Santa gets accused of sexual harassment and taken off the job. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I caught the announcement this morning on the Today Show as well. The very first thing I thought of was how minimally they covered it. Their line was something to the effect of, "Matt Lauer has been fired regarding a recent complaint made against him by a co-worker" and that was it. No shot of Lauer's face plastered on the screen, no details, just a few words and move on.

With every other announcement on the Today Show of breaking news of sexual misconduct it's "devastating accusations have been made against (insert name here)" and they show some unflattering shot of the accused and go into detail as to the what, when and how. They mentioned nothing about Lauer being under investigation for the past few weeks or any other details.

Good for NBC for firing him but they sure gave him special treatment today.

Isn't it interesting that even the media is experiencing trial by media. :roll:

 

[Ruger Redhawk]

Looks like the Liberal news media are getting a dose of their own medicine. If I want to watch the news I put Fox on. I can't handle listening to the one sided Liberal news media. I know the name but not sure who he is for this very reason.

I looked him up I know who he was now. The 64,000.00 question now is who's next? If they don't like someone all they have to cry unwanted sexual advances. This is getting ridiculous.

Oh, HE knows who his accuser is, I assure you. WE don't, but HE does.

I would imagine he knows them ALL as there is supposedly multiple accusers.

What I think is really funny is that Katie Couric, when asked if there was something that annoyed her about Matt Lauer, she said, "He pinched my ass a lot". BUSTED!!!

 

[sfhogman]

As usual, Tamara Keel hits the target.

My takeaway is pretty much the same as hers: Lauer's employers know how much they pay him and what kind of lawyers he can afford. Even then, someone must have decided that it was better can him than not. Be sure and read what Tam has to say....

Watching them eat their own is kinda fun!

Isn't she the one who got a colonoscopy live on TV? Or was that somebody else?

I KNOW she was the one who got busted altering/editing tapes to make gunowners look bad. She's a disgrace.

LOL
He has...so has the Easter Bunny in malls across the nation.

Snake45, that was her. She's no prize either.

Ironic ain’t it. I wonder who the next shoe will drop on.

Hi,

When all this "#metoo" garbage got started, I asked a friend how she'd handle it. Being as she's 79, I asked "If someone pinched your bum, would you rush off to the news media with an allegation, or put your hands in the air and shout out 'Oh, thank You, Jesus!'"

She said that would be a tough decision, and she'd have to think about it. When the same question was posed to a neighbor lady whose past is colorful if nothing else, the answer was instantaneous. "Not only would I have my hands in the air thanking Him, I'd turn the other cheek for some more!"

Methinks in Katie's case, she oughta be thankful enough that someone would pinch her in her in the first place that she starts going to church every day to give thanks!

News update has Garrison Keillor of Lake Wobegone fame on NPR is also out. Same kind of allegation. There should be some ambulance chasing attorneys stepping up with millions of dollars in defamation of character suits against these "poor victim" women who suddenly remember decades later that someone bumped them in the hall and hope to make a buck off the deal--maybe toss Gloria Allred's name in the list of defendants, too. When all it takes is an unfounded allegation to ruin a person's career and even their life, we shouldn't be jumping with glee every time we hear another one, "just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at" them. (Thank you, Monty Python.)

Good thing I ain't rich - if I was worth a lawsuit, there are a couple girls I knew in high school who might be out to make a fast buck.

This is my rifle, this is my Gun
This one is for killing
This one is for fun

SO; I guess if you don't have a rifle all you can do is "Gun Wagging".

Surprised they didn't plaster Glock on the screen with a white outline of a...nevermind.

 

[Snake45]

Well, ye, its Katie C who blew the whistle on him for pinching her butt, but the worst part is that he told her to keep BENDING OVER, THE VIEW WAS GOOD!

In all fairness, that might be the best view of her. The other end ain't all that hot. :lol:

I may be next. About 15 years ago I was working as police detective for a Colorado City Police Department. The Chief required all Detectives to attend a "Sex Discrimination Class". I had been recruited and hired shortly before the class after I had recently retired as Chief of Police for another department in Colorado. The instructor in the Discrimination Class was a lady from Denver.

During the Class the lady described what she told us were actions that were sexually objectionable to women that we should avoid. One of the things she mentioned was giving a gift of flowers, candy or drinks to a female co-worker.

During my 7 years as Chief of Police, before I was hired and attended that class, there happened to be a flower shop right across the street from my previous Police Department. My secretary there had a glass, narrow stem vase on her desk from the day I started work as Chief (she had been the secretary for the previous Chief) and I noticed the empty vase the first day on my job. The following morning, I stopped at the flower shop and purchased a long stem flower. When my secretary came to work shortly after I had come to work in the office that morning, she found the long stem flower in the glass vase.

For seven years, every morning when I came to work as Chief I stopped at the flower shop and purchased a single long stem flower and replaced the previous flower in the vase on my Secretary's desk, the first thing when I walked into my office.

When the lady instructor mention giving flowers to a co-worker constituted a sexual offense, I stood up, told her what I had done for seven years, told her that she was "Spouting Baloney", and that my secretary many times told me that she appreciated the flower. I walked out of the meeting.

Quoted for truth. Not sure how many of these ladies lied, but there have to be some. But we don't know the difference at this point. And it can happen to anyone who has ever worked around women. ANYONE.
