The New York Times and Washington Post do extremely good work on a consistent basis. One of them broke the loving story that set off the entire #MeToo movement. Journalists from established news outlets are continuing to do very careful and important reporting on sexual assault in Hollywood. Please don't grind your cynical jaded axe about "clinically dead journalism" here.

My buddies saw it happen to him. The biggest tell was his sudden and extreme beliefs in god. He got picked up by one of those near college church groups that apparently are fairly hardcore core. The saddest and freakiest thing I’ve ever seen was my friend talking to me in his moms apartment talking about how god doesn’t like a thing and why and then saying flatly “God is telling me right now that you’re not enjoying this conversation.” It wasn’t hard to read me or anything but it’s when I knew my friend wasn’t going to ever be the same. This was before I knew he was schizophrenic.

Hat Thoughts posted:https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/954574729943404544 We’re long past Bill Maher being relevant. He adds nothing to the public discourse. If anything, his half-assed contrarianism only muddies the waters further. Also, Bill Maher is pretty much the easy mode of suspected sex pests. The ultimate irony would be someone calling him out onto the carpet for past misdeeds as a result of him bitching off about MeToo on his show.

the only thing surprising there is that it took maher this long to say that what an rear end. and i have no doubt he's a raging sex addict on the level of David Duchovny, but i'd think if he were an actual abuser or pushy about it a ton of women would have come forward by now.

So you don't have to go digging for it:quote:Tick tock, tick tock. That clock is ticking loudly as a chain of events and a metaphorical deal with the devil can bring down this entire media corporation and their now-struggling studio within the coming year. This one has been a long time coming, and is thankfully about to come to an end for the perpetrators of some of the modern entertainment industry's worst long-time institutional abuses of underage actresses. For many of the long-time CDAN regulars this one won't be a shock, although the details might. Many people in Hollywood and out have been waiting to see when this Producer at this cable network is going to be called out, publicly accused, or charged for his many years of abuse behind the scenes. Many have wondered why - with so many others being brought down - he's managed to escape almost unscathed? It's because of his Protector. His Protector is the mega-wealthy big boss of the studio and corporate parent, and he wields a lot of power over many types of media, in both Hollywood and New York. Many years ago the Producer got himself in serious trouble over his perverted abuses of several of his actresses. Not just those he abused himself, but those he encouraged his writers, directors, and co-producers to sexually abuse. This was not a one-time thing, but an ongoing constant pattern which led those actresses to drugs, self-destruction, self-abuse, mutilation, destroyed dreams, wasted careers, damaged families, and even insanity. Made more disgusting by the complicity and apathy of the parents, "momagers", and guardians who just wanted fame and money. All so that some jolly perverts could get their rocks off living out their sick unfulfilled tweenage dreams. At that time, the Protector still had most of his marbles and was going to live forever. Many believe he still may, although he's now alive in name only and the flames are lapping at his legs daily. Back then he still had his iron grip on his business and he's never been afraid to sue, threaten, harass, or destroy others as his favorite sport.

One of the things that’s super lovely about the Dan Schneider situation is that the rumors have been around forever. Like in a much more visible way than anything Weinstein-related was. But because the victims were kids, and the parents were willing to take payouts in some cases, the whole thing stands at this really ugly crossroads of “not believing the victims” and “take the money and move on.” So this dude is still out there making kids television shows and making bank, and harming god knows who else all the while. Like he never lost a step in his career despite everything. If you want to take an exact look at a company weighing profits vs liability, Viacom is a perfect example.

this one is my "favorite" this is not edited in any way (other than to add that filter over the top), this was actually taken when Michelle Obama did a guest spot on iCarly. Michelle Obama, who is the wife of a politician, is making a face at the camera as if she's signalling her Secret Service protection to get her the gently caress out of there now edit: precision posted:What's this bit referring to? I dunno specifically but there's a pattern of more fetishistic behavior in his shows as time goes on.

Really odd since I seem to recall in the 90s Nickelodeon was "infamous" among parents for being "run by overly progressive lesbians". Dunno if that was just an urban legend or what though.
