Weinsteins step down as Miramax CEOs

i'm glad that the post published her off the record comments though. i wonder how much she got paid

probably not a lot since

Alice Crites, a Post researcher who was looking into Phillips’s background, found the document that strongly reinforced the reporters’ suspicions: a Web page for a fundraising campaign by someone with the same name. It was on the website GoFundMe.com under the name Jaime Phillips.

“I’m moving to New York!” the May 29 appeal said. “I’ve accepted a job to work in the conservative media movement to combat the lies and deceipt of the liberal MSM. I’ll be using my skills as a researcher and fact-checker to help our movement. I was laid off from my mortgage job a few months ago and came across the opportunity to change my career path.”

In a March posting on its Facebook page, Project Veritas said it was seeking 12 new “undercover reporters,” though the organization’s operatives use methods that are eschewed by mainstream journalists, such as misrepresenting themselves.

A posting for the “journalist” job on the Project Veritas website that month warned that the job “is not a role for the faint of heart.”

fucking psychos

So much for that career path.

So since they're merely truth-seekers, I assume Project Veritas will make a statement praising the Post's thoroughness and integrity wrt this attempted setup.

well...

Project Bullshit was taken i gather

forks you should know by now that republicans and other rightish elementals love to cloak their insipid fascism in "freedom" and "truth" verbal drag

"It's opposite day in America"

I would like to know why Harvard hasn't sued O'Keefe yet.

Or, if not them, Veritas Technologies.

Any underemployed journos want to go double-agent on these d-bags?

I saw the announcement live. Haven't there been "Matt Lauer's an asshole, he's gonna go" stories floating for at least a year?

Any underemployed journos want to go double-agent on these d-bags?

This is a great (and hilarious) idea in theory but it's tough for me to imagine it accomplishing much that the WaPo story didn't

according to wiki, lauer's salary was 28 million a year! that's a lot of money.

yeah, he's the Albert Pujols of morning-TV drones

Tom Cruise cackles over morning coffee, alone, in front of a foggy window in Martha's Vineyard

Surprised Lauer lasted so long. Perpetual tabloid hag. Another few I wouldn’t be surprised by at all: Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell, Don Lemon

i remember everyone thought he was a creep about the Ann Curry thing, and she left under a weird inexplicable cloud bc of him.

it's funny that lauer was the fresh air after the toxic cloud of gumbel. now who is smelly? and real sports is kinda awesome!

lauer thought she was an idiot and forced her out as a condition of extending his contract, allegedly.

Wait, what toxic cloud of Gumbel?

Chris Matthews

this dude def has the air of a misogynistic lech

"Wait, what toxic cloud of Gumbel?"

what, you don't remember the infamous memo backlash?

i just remember him taking his eyeglasses off and furrowing his brow exasperatedly

Gumbel the only one of that crew who may have had a brain. Jeez, is there anything more ignominious than being a morning show host? Who remembers Jane Pauley and Joan Lunden?

all that money curdles t.v. people. remember america's sweetheart katy couric? doing life for double murder.

t.v. newspeople pretty backstabby in general. plus, they have to smile too much. they lose it.

they have wake up at like 2am

BREAKING: Garrison Keillor says he's been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of inappropriate behavior.

— The Associated Press (@AP) November 29, 2017

what the--!

ha – I said a couple weeks ago to a friend that Keillor looked like a dirty old man

what, you don't remember the infamous memo backlash?

I didn't, so I read up on it. Now I can't get the word "uppity" out of my head.

garrison keillor still worked anywhere?

it's just an embarrassment of shadenfreude!

I thought he was retired? Guess he is now!

Minnesota nice

Mmm yes

this is just keillor trying to stay relevant
