    All of these men who are suing their former employers are guilty as fuck.

      So tell us, how would some who is innocent react when they are wrongfully fired? I guess innocent people would just say, “Aw shucks, them’s the breaks” and just move on?

       You know this how? You think somebody who isn’t guilty wouldn’t sue?

    I predict he will either win this or receive a sizable ‘undisclosed settlement,’ because as much as we might like to put it in this sort of language, getting fired and terminating a contract aren’t really the same thing. Tavis is a smart dude, and I’m sure his lawyers are smart people, and unless there’s very specific wording in any sort of morals clause about who he can and cannot have personal relationships with, PBS will not have a leg to stand on, particularly if they intend on keeping his accusers and the details of their accusations confidential.

    And who will be paying for this settlement? Viewers like you...

      Not me, I give to NPR. My money will be going to Jonathan Schwartz and Leonard Lopate and that other dude whose name I suddenly can’t remember.

    Can we start playing “Another One Bites The Dust” when this happens?

    Sexual relationships in the workplace are how half of my married friends met. They are romanticized in film and television and the people who make film and television are known for engaging in them. To coerce, threaten or offer preferential treatment in exchange for sex should be condemned, but if you simply want someone to stop sleeping with coworkers or employees a warning is in order before you start ruining people’s lives.

    God his show was just unwatchable in recent years. The cheap ass Tim and Eric set, minimal (if any) preparation, watching him hunched over in a wrong sized suit talking to useless 2017 Cornell West (versus the infinitely more respected 90’s version) was just fucking depressing - and that was without thinking about that dude’s greasy dick!

    Look, I support voluntary euthanasia. Choosing to engage in an abuse of power through sexual relationships with subordinates, is kind of like putting sugar in your own gas tank and suing the car manufacturer.
