I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
@espn when WWE superstars show up on First Take and SportsCenter, are we supposed to pretend the outcomes aren’t scripted? You can cover WWE AND maintain credibility. Just cover it differently. Dedicated reporters, entertainment framing. Easy fix.
@Mets Hi! In addition to the KidCaster; please have a contest for an old, crotchety, well informed Met fan to sit in the booth with GKR for a half an inning. #LGM
@THEKIDMERO After Big Nick’s Burger Joint and Pizza closed, (they were 70th and Broadway) that was like my watershed closing. I just grew very thick skin after that.
@JFowlerESPN@DanielOyefusi What? The league determined that his behavior met its definition of sexual assault and compromised the integrity of the NFL! And you’re telling me HE holds no ill will??????????
@CNBC for the love of God why do you have so many erectile dysfunction ads on after 8am on the east coast ? Ad sales down? Disney & Comcast would never! #Versant#advertising
@Stuckey2@ActionNetworkHQ Irish Car Bomb oh my God you damn near took me out with that! Thankfully, I haven’t had one in at least a decade. Good memories, tho.
@PTI this morning on FT Doggie said he felt that LeBron’s legacy was diminished because he had played for so many teams. I would love to know how Mike and Tony feel about that.
