NPR news chief resigns after sexual harassment allegations

[IsraelTimes] Michael Oreskes has resigned as chief of NPR’s newsroom following accusations of sexual harassment that dated back to the 1990s.

In a statement, Oreskes writes that he is deeply sorry to the people he hurt. “My behavior was wrong and inexcusable, and I accept full responsibility,” he says.

He says he told Jarl Mohn, president and CEO of NPR, on Wednesday morning that he would step down. Earlier, Oreskes had been placed on leave and Mohn appointed Chris Turpin as the temporary news chief.

Two women had accused Oreskes of suddenly kissing them when they were discussing job prospects with him in the 1990s, when he was Washington bureau chief of The New York Times.

Breitbart adds:

On top of NBC’s Mark Halperin, Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, and The New Republic’s Hamilton Fish and Leon Wieseltier, Oreskes is now the fifth member of the elite media in a month to be accused of sexual misconduct.
Dropping like flies, so to speak.
Whatever happened to: "Can I buy you a drink after work?"?

#1 Notice how many are leftist and overtly loud feminists, etc. And notice how many bash conservatives. Now we know why. They were afraid of being caught.

And notice how many of them admit they knew...and yet did nothing.

#3 Male feminist - old Indian phrase for confused and pathetic beta male. I know women who are smarter, tougher and better looking than me. They all are too busy achieving to care whether some drip self-castrates to get attention.

I kinda thought it was code-speak for the guys hoping to get some hippie nookie.
