Les Moonves out at CBS but T-rump is still in the White House

After six sexual misconduct charges from the 80s and 90s against CBS exec Les Moonves surfaced in a late July investigative report by Rowan Farrow, CBS has launched an investigation into Moonves. Moonves always denied the charges saying they were consensual sex, or brushed them off as a 'mistake'.

Now that six more women surfaced with allegations over the weekend - claiming sexual misconduct behavior from the mid 90s through 2010 in another report by Rowan Farrow - CBS has moved swiftly and urgently to show him the exit door last night. They've denied him his severance pay, and will donate a portion of it to the #MeToo groups.

Meanwhile, T-rump has dozens of charges against him for sexual misconduct, brags about grabbing women by their pussy, all over the past three decades and he still sits in the Oval Office.

What's wrong with this picture?

The word that you are searching for is "allegations". Anyone can allege literally anything. ANYTHING. So, no proof, no pudding.

No, I'm not looking for that word but thanks anyhow.

Trump admitted to misconduct and Billy Bush got fired for simply hearing it.

What a world, huh?

Les Moonves is a liberal too, ironic.

Where did you get that info? Moonves and Chen have been reported as big Republican donors and T-rump supporters.

Ackbar has Political Derangement Syndrome.

He's got more problems than that. One of the major ones is his deliberate avoidance of reality.

His name always reads as AckbartheButtHurt to me. It just seems the more natural moniker for him.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

He's quite the sock account. Notice how many of the old posters are no longer here, but their tiki torches have been carried by other newbies who sound just like them?

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 6 years ago

LoL! I think you're right, maybe it's all the same person.

Speaking of old posters, the russobot's prolonged absence has been kind of nice. I think he must have got bored everyone was just ignoring his drivel.

Or maybe caught and account terminated?

[–] AckbartheHutt (1370) 6 years ago

I think so.

I can't find any info on Moonves being a Trump supporter or donor. The closest I can come is a quote of his that said "(Trump) may not be good for America, but it's good for CBS.", referring to ratings.

As for political donations:
"a quick check of the FEC's donor database – see screenshot below – shows Moonves has a long track record of contributing to Democrats John Kerry and Al Gore as well as Democratic political action committees (PACs). One exception was in 2010 when he contributed to Missouri Republican Roy Blunt's Senate campaign, which he won in a landslide against Democrat Robin Carnahan."

and:

"In fairness, Moonves hasn't given to any candidate directly since 2010 and his last recorded political contribution was to his network's PAC, but all the same there's little reason to believe Moonves is not still politically liberal in his sympathies."

Thanks for the facts.

Lol.

Just the title alone.
