Nassar's statement was delusional and a little surprising in its brazenness. Also know as: being a white man.

Who is british? How big is this President's Club scandal?

I couldn’t tell if it was big but it certainly sounded baroque

Lots of good talk about this on the British politics thread; scandal involves quite a lot of very powerful ppl, all involved are running for cover.

not surprised about this. it came out last year that Lena Dunham had told them about Weinstein and they ignored that as well. she's been doing this since 1975. it may be the recurring theme in her career.

as someone pointed out this should be followed by a times piece on dean baquet “shielding” glenn thrush, which happened, you know, LAST YEAR. i’m so over clinton as emmanuel goldstein
― maura, Saturday, 27 January 2018 20:21 (six years ago) link
(the clinton “shielding” piece i mean)
I cannot take anyone seriously who still, STILL brings up Clinton. It's automatically a parody. The NYT needs to get their shit together.
― Yerac, Saturday, 27 January 2018 20:58 (six years ago) link
jfc guys, hillary clinton does not get a free pass for making a poor decision just because 90 percent of the things the media say about her are stupid, and it was not wrong of the NYT to report on this. if you disagree, ask yourself how you'd feel if the story were literally any other politician choosing not to fire a top adviser who'd sexually harassed someone.

yeah thanks for missing the point dude. hope you’re as hard on baquet. or any other number of men who also engaged in “shielding” but who haven’t been deemed the demon beast by right wing types.
― maura, Saturday, 27 January 2018 21:19 (six years ago) link
i’m fine with more reporting on this. but the wealth could maybe be spread to people who are actually in office??
― maura, Saturday, 27 January 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link
sorry i "missed the point," i guess, but i think thrush should have been fired too and i have no problem condemning the nyt for not doing that
― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Saturday, 27 January 2018 21:25 (six years ago) link
yeah well maybe you should take a second and think about why the times might investigate clinton instead of *gestures at lots of men*
― maura, Saturday, 27 January 2018 22:06 (six years ago) link
clinton derangement syndrome is real and at least some of its causes are intimately involved with all of the other shit in this thread
― maura, Saturday, 27 January 2018 22:07 (six years ago) link
my guess as to why the times might investigate clinton is because she's very famous and positions herself as a defender of women's rights, so a story about how she failed a victim of sexual harassment might have some relevance
this does not negate any of your other, valid points tho of course
