New York Times will keep reporter accused of sexual misconduct
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

says it will remove news hound Glenn Thrush from the White House beat but not fire him following an investigation into sexual misconduct.

A former colleague wrote last month that Thrush made unwanted, drunken advances on her and other women when they worked at Politico. The Times suspended Thrush and investigated while Thrush entered substance abuse rehabilitation.

Times’ executive editor Dean Baquet says in a statement Wednesday that while Thrush acted offensively, he did not deserve to be fired and instead will be suspended for two months, undergo training and be given a new assignment.

Baquet says that in addition to covering sexual misconduct cases aggressively, the Times is grappling with what consequences are appropriate in its own newsroom. He said each case must be examined individually.

#1 A former colleague wrote last month that Thrush made unwanted, drunken advances on her and other women when they worked at Politico.

Was it at work, or after work when you went drinking? Did he take "no" for an answer?

#3 Aren’t they looking into voting by non-citizens in Alabama, P2k? Judge Moore had not yet conceded, last I heard.
