[PineGroveBully]

NBC is really taking it on the chin right now

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

NBC not launching investigation into Brokaw's sexual harassment.

 

[mcdawg22]

Todaay, Reality Star Donald Trump is president. Beloved father Bill Cosby is a rapist. Aand Tom Brokaw is a groper.

NBC not launching investigation into Brokaw's sexual harassment.

Why would they? At this point it is a she said/ he said situation that may or may not have happened 20 years ago.

If there is no lawsuit, I don’t know of many - if any - General Counsels who would recommend to a CEO or a BOD to spend resources on a rumor from that time period concerning two people that don’t really work there anymore.

True dat, ole Tommy hasn’t even admitted “I have sinned”, but then again neither has Freezus...

Stormy Daniels says hi.

 

[Coledawg]

Stormy Daniels says hi.

Case closed, Tom’s innocent.

Accusations do not necessarily mean guilt. And remember ... it could be YOU. It's possible for women to lie to their advantage.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Sad thing is that Bill Cosby has been a rapist for a really long time

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I have a hard time believing Cosby raped anyone. He was stupid rich, famous and probably a lot of fun to be around. Women throw themselves at men like that.

He has admitted to drugging women. Then having sex with them. That is called rape.

 

[patdog]

I have a hard time ignoring the strong evidence that Cosby was a serial rapist.

 

[fishwater99]

I thought he was a closet gay man. Maybe he goes both ways.

 

[josebrown]

He has admitted to drugging women. Then having sex with them.

Thats the point that's kinda hard to get by when wondering his guilt. Well, that and his conviction now. Give him 30...or 10...it'd prolly be about the same to him.

 

[bulldognation]

I see so many cases nowadays where the accusers come forward with allegations of sexual assault/misconduct/etc. decades after the fact. Like it was said, it was a different time decades before the whole #MeToo movement, but people are being judged against it today. And it’s turning what back then would be considered flirting into sexual assault. My question is: what’s the statute of limitations for these crimes?

Linda Vester, respected war correspondent, made the groping charges, very credible and a young production assistant also charged Brokaw - pretty strong....

 

[dudehead]

My dad advised me at a young age that alone with another woman is a dangerous place; choose wisely.

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

Todaay, Reality Star Donald Trump is president. Beloved father Bill Cosby is a rapist. Aand Tom Brokaw is a groper.

I know you were just throwing the facts, but Trump and Brokaw should not be lumped in with Cosby.

Donald Trump has cheated on his wife(s) with consenting porn stars, playmates, and likely many other women. Makes him a ****** husband, but not a criminal.

Tom Brokaw may have been in appropriate in trying to make moves on women. If so, it's a problem that could be best solved iin a civil court and a nice tarnish of the old reputation. Again, ****** guy if true.

Bill Cosby is a 17n scumbag that deserves lethal sodomy. He is Sandusky bad. Not even close to the other two.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

This doesn't just happen...he's a Predator.

 

[57stratdawg]

It’s good for this stuff to come out. It doesn’t need to be a part of our society.

 

[ShrubDog]

Strat nailed it in two sentences.

Looking back decades criminals had an advantage over investigations. The emergence of the internet, social networking, new technology and science have helped in solving a bunch of old cases. Cosby and golden state got away with murder and rape for a long time.

People aren’t alone anymore. Society is changing in a positive light in that aspect.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

OJ was rich enough to hire a hitman, so he didn't do it

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Yeah that's rape

He has admitted to drugging women. Then having sex with them. That is called rape.

I didn't see that he admitted that. Still find it shocking Cliff Huxstable could do that. He could've slept with about whoever he wanted, why rape anyone?

 

[paindonthurt_]

Assault? No it doesn’t.

Hitting on or flirting with a woman isn’t assault.

 

[anonymous.sixpack]

Stormy Daniels says hi.

Apples and anvils

 

[57stratdawg]

I don’t expect charges against Brokaw. But I would be incredibly cautious when determining what a woman might consider inappropriate in today’s workplace.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Yeah that’s kind of my point. You could simply give a woman a compliment in today’s world and she could claim harassment.

Like “sweetie you look good today”. That’s not harassment unless you do it repeatedly after being asked not to.

I work in this area, and I completely disagree. Any allegation of this sort must be investigated; it’s essential to preventing a hostile work environment and establishing an affirmative defense should someone later bring a lawsuit. Now, investigating a complaint and being able to substantiate it are two completely different things. If it’s really he said/she said with no witnesses or other evidence, it will be a quick investigation, taking very few resources. If there is more to it, a company is in a far better position to find that out and address it before a lawsuit is filed than to learn additional information later.

Edit - you are likely right if Tom Brokaw doesn’t work at NBC anymore. I was under the impression he did, but could be wrong about that.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Soft Buy. Tom Brokaw and Rev. Hugh will both return to Ole Miss one day...the scum rises to the top just like on a pond.

[EurekaDog]

Yep! Your Dad was/is wise! You can lose your lifelong reputation in a moment.

jvlluu

 

[PineGroveBully]

Maybe you should see a the rapist

 

[RocketDawg]

I know who she is. That doesn't mean she is telling the truth. Even so, Brokaw didn't attack her based on what she said ... what it amounts to is that none of us knows what happened because we were not there. If he attacked/raped her, then he deserves punishment. If all he did was try to kiss her, well ....

 

[Thirty-Two Dive]

I think Ol' "Doc Huxtable" had some of this stuff laying around...


"Here ladies. Drink some of Dr. Huxtable's - Rape Van Winkle Cough Syrup. One teaspoon, and not only will your cough go away, but you won't be able to recall the next 8 hours for over 20 years!"View attachment 10102

Looks like he’s getting his due...

 

[fishwater99]

It usually worked out well for me and still does. But married now. A woman scorned is a bad thing.

I'm hooked on some of these "cold case" TV shows, and it's amazing that DNA evidence in a courtroom didn't really exist until the 90's for the most part.

 

[birdawg]

Agreed. One was consensual and agreed to keep quiet after being paid handsomely, and the other is a sexual harassment victim.

I wasn’t lumping them together, I’m sorry if it came off that way. I was simply stating three things that in 1990 would have seemed unfathomable. Also in 1990 I’m typing a message on a phone that can’t be seen instantaneously in South Korea where the leader of North Korea is currently seems insane.

 

[57stratdawg]

But there’s a big gap between what Lauer, O’Reilly, Rose, Roy Moore, Cosby, Weinstein, etc were accused of and friendly compliment. Even Brokaw, whose accusations seem less inappropriate than the others previously mentioned, was accused of forcibly kissing someone.

I don’t see it as huge shift in society, just enforcing what we already consider to be right and wrong in the workplace.

Yes, a measured way to look at all this turmoil. Those of us who have daughters, may feel like this more so than others (not exclusively).
