Journalist Mark Halperin Has Been Asked To Step Away from TV Appearances

This comes in the wake of allegations from five women with whom he worked of forced touching incidents, among others.

I should no longer be shocked by all of these revelations but in addition to the one noted here, I just read that a big mucketymuck in the art world just resigned because nine women came forward to accuse him of abuse. What is WRONG with these powerful men? I’ve known dogs with more self control. Sheesh! How disgusting these powerful men have been! It’s about time women fight back.

I have not watched for years the morning news talk show he was on regularly but I did wonder if they are even covering this story, and how much time devoted to it in comparison to other allegations for others who have been accused.  I must admit I was a bit shocked when I saw he had been accused for this he always struck me as straight up by the book and go straight home from work type of man.  I guess you never know what anyone is doing.

Most of us have experienced this at some point in our lives so I think that there is still much more to come.

@Vivian Not just powerful men.  Those are the ones we hear about.  Men unknown to the wider world with less money any power have done the same.
