Rowan Farrow Vanity Fair Expose: CBS Promoted Culture of Sexual Harassment
I had an idea to say "all this story is missing is Matt Lauer's rape-button."
But then I kept reading. The Rape Button is in fact there. Allegedly. Ileana Douglas had a $300,000 holding deal with CBS, which means something like CBS had exclusive TV rights to her services, and CBS would try to build a TV show around her. That TV show turned out to be "Queens." About the NYC borough, not Westminster.In March, 1997, shortly before production of the pilot episode began, Moonves called Douglas's manager, Melissa Prophet, and told her that he was concerned about Douglas's attitude during a reading with her co-star, Penelope Ann Miller. Prophet relayed the concern to Douglas, who was surprised and confused: the reading, in front of a group of CBS executives, had elicited uproarious laughter. Moonves, she said, had taken her by the shoulders and congratulated her. Moonves had told Prophet that he wanted to meet with Douglas, alone, to insure that they were creatively aligned. (Prophet told me that she did not recall the conversation or setting up the meeting.) By then, Douglas had worked closely with Moonves for months. "He seemed more than just my boss," she told me. "He was very much like a father figure." When Douglas met with Moonves at his office, she began to raise concerns about the "Queens" script, but Moonves, she recalled, cut her off. "He interrupts me to ask me am I single," she said. Douglas, whose nearly decade-long relationship with Scorsese was coming to an end, was caught off guard. "I didn't know what to say at that point," she told me. "I was, like, 'I'm single, yes, no, maybe.'" She began talking about the script, but Moonves interjected, asking to kiss her. According to Douglas, he said that they didn't have to tell her manager: "It'll just be between you and me. Come on, you’re not some nubile virgin." As Douglas attempted to turn the focus back to work, Moonves, she said, grabbed her. "In a millisecond, he's got one arm over me, pinning me," she said. Moonves was "violently kissing" her, holding her down on the couch with her arms above her head. "What it feels like to have someone hold you down—you can’t breathe, you can’t move," she said. "The physicality of it was horrendous." She recalled lying limp and unresponsive beneath him. "You sort of black out," she told me. "You think, How long is this going to go on? I was just looking at this nice picture of his family and his kids. I couldn't get him off me." She said it was only when Moonves, aroused, pulled up her skirt and began to thrust against her that her fear overcame her paralysis. She told herself that she had to do something to stop him. "At that point, you’re a trapped animal," she told me. "Your life is flashing before your eyes." Moonves, in what Douglas assumed was an effort to be seductive, paused and asked, "So, what do you think?" Douglas told me, "My decision was to get out of it by joking my way out, so he feels flattered." Thinking that reminding Moonves that he was her boss might discourage him, she told him, "Yes, for the head of a network you're some good kisser." Moonves frowned and got up. She scrambled to find her briefcase. "Well, this has been great. Thanks," she recalled saying, moving toward the door. "I've got to go now." Moonves, she said, followed her to the door and blocked her path. He backed her up to the wall, pressing against her, with his face close to hers. "It was physically scary," Douglas told me. "He says, 'We're going to keep this between you and me, right?'" Attempting to put him off with a joke, she replied, "No, sir, we won't tell anyone that you’re a good kisser." Moonves released her and, without looking at her, walked away. "It was so invasive," she said of the threatening encounter. "It has stayed with me the rest of my life, that terror." .. In her car, Douglas said, "I lost it. I felt sick." Prophet, her manager, called and, as Douglas worked up the nerve to tell her what had happened, Prophet said that she had just got off the phone with Moonves. He’d said that he and Douglas had a great meeting and "had a lot of fun." Douglas told me, "I thought, Oh, my God, he's covered his tracks.” In that moment, she said, "I decided, just bury it."After that, she says, she would become distracted when Moonves would show up at her rehearsals. She says he eyed her "warily."
Not only did CBS fire her, but then, in rapid succession, her own manager and agent fired her as well. Later, CBS would settle with her (half of the contract value, plus a new $250,000 payment for a miniseries), but only after her lawyer told a CBS representative something like, "Go ask Les Moonves what happened up in that room." CBS denies this was a payment for, or acknowledgement of, the alleged incident. Also later, her agency (C.A.A.) decided to start representing her again. While the manager and agent deny it, this does raise suspicions that they were acting under threat by Les Moonves to cut Douglas loose or else see other talent they represented get the cold shoulder from CBS. About the Rape Button: Janet Jones was a writer looking for a gig at CBS. At a privat pitch meeting, Jones says, Moonves jumped on her.
After the second rehearsal, Moonves took Douglas aside. "'What the fuck do you think you’re doing out there? You’re not even trying,'" Douglas recalled Moonves saying. She took it as a reference to her failure to comply with his advances and to maintain her composure afterward. Douglas told me that she had "played by all the rules, I didn't say anything, and now he was berating me." On set, she struggled to keep her comedic timing, and cried in front of other cast members. Several days into rehearsals, Moonves called Douglas at home. "It was, you know, 'You make me fucking sick. You are not funny,'" she recalled. Moonves told her that she wouldn’t "get a fucking dime" of the money she was owed, and that she would "never work at this network again." (In a statement, CBS said that Moonves acknowledges trying to kiss Douglas, but that "he denies any characterization of 'sexual assault,' intimidation, or retaliatory action," including berating her on set and personally firing her from "Queens.")
When Jones arrived, many employees were leaving for the day, but Moonves's assistant was there. ...The article also claims that CBS had a permissive attitude towards higher-ranking older men harassing lower-ranking younger women, and did little in the way of discipline, and routinely promoted those accused of harassment. One begins to suspect that the whole #MaleFeminist thing is just a fascade to cover up for sex crimes, or near-sex-crimes.
Moonves surprised her by asking if she wanted a glass of wine. She declined, sat down on the couch, and began pitching her screenplay. Suddenly, Jones told me, "he came around the corner of the table and threw himself on top of me. It was very fast." Moonves, she said, began trying to kiss her. Jones said that she struggled, and then shoved Moonves away hard, yelling, "What do you think you’re doing?"
Moonves, appearing startled, got up. "'Well, I was hitting on you. I wanted a kiss,'" she recalled him saying. Jones began to leave. "He said, 'Oh, come on, it’s nothing,' "she said. "'Calm down, don’t be so excited.'" When Jones got to the door, it was locked. She was terrified. "If you don't open this door," she told him, "I am going to scream so loud and so long that everyone on the lot is going to come over." She remembered Moonves walking to his desk or to a nearby bureau to unlock the door, rather than doing so directly. She fled, noticing on her way out that the assistant had left. "That's when I got really upset," she told me. "I just thought, Oh, my God. This wasn't like a little momentary boo-boo. It was this well-thought-out thing."

I wonder if leftists are sex perverts, or if sex perverts are (or
pretend to be) leftists to get air cover. I kind of suspect the latter.
If you're a deviant with something to lose, become a leftist. They close
ranks and forbid consequences around you, and since so many of them are
also deviants, everyone is wary.
And very soon, you'll have the right to vote as well. They've allowed felons to vote in VA I think, and want to in MA. They know their constituency. And what do you think murderers, rapist and child predators will trade their vote for? Soft sentences on their favorite little hobbies. And the dems will oblige.
Every GOP campaign ad should be trumpeting this info 24-7. Democrats want Pedophiles to be able to vote. 100 percent true.
People need to know what they've become, and walk away.

I have truly come to believe, over the years, there's actually a thing called acting talent. Took me quite a few years to get it. I just figured, if you were pretty and weren't completely incapable of saying lines, you could be a star.
I mean, because some stars really are just that. Male and female. Good looking faces/bodies in front of a camera.
And then there are actors. She was/is an actor. In the gender non-specific sense of the word.

If you have - you've served your time, been paroled, through probation, etc. - completely done - then you're a citizen and should have the full rights to which any citizen is entitled. If you don't, then your debt is *never* paid and you're second-class for the rest of your life, which seems wrong to me - especially in our "everyone is a felon" system.

Honestly, I think it depends on the kind of murder. If it was premeditated, then I agree with you - but I also think the sentence shouldn't end. Life in prison for Murder 1, period. For lesser severe crimes, perhaps lifetime probation as a maximum post-penitentiary sentence is reasonable.
I am not sure, but I definitely think there is room for debate on the topic. But I still do think that most offenders should be able to regain their rights as citizens after paying for their crimes.

No, I don't think so. Most people I hear referred to as "character actors" are people who are very distinctive in look and voice, and not conventionally attractive, so they have a "character" based just on looks and voice that the actual writing of the character doesn't provide.
Like, in Blood Simple: Dan Hadaya and M. Emmet Walsh have "characters" based just on their looks, voice, and general comportment. You can write their occupation as whatever, but that's not a "character." That's just an occupation. The "character" part of them comes with the casting, pre-written.

I've told this story before, it's on the DVD of "The Killers," an interview with Clu Gulager. He's talking about Lee Marvin and Ronald Reagan, his co-stars. Says Marvin was drunk lots of the time, and was constantly putting down his co-stars, not just Reagan, but Angie Dickenson as well.
So Marvin decides to play a trick on Reagan, as they're doing a scene. He messes up his lines each time, and EVERY time he does a take, he changes up something, because he wants to get Reagan all flustered, thinking Reagan wouldn't know how to react. And so every time Marvin said his lines, Reagan said his.
And with EVERY take, Marvin is changing stuff up, and with EVERY take... Reagan does the scene, delivering the line, with voice, gestures, all of it, EXACTLY the same way. Every. Time.
Gulager said it infuriated Marvin, because he was so sure Reagan was a no-talent ham.

well, based on this narrative, it seems Moonves did have the power to fire her, and then get her manager and agent to also fire her.
So, her belief that he was powerful and could harm her career was... justified.
Also, she did do something. She got a lawyer and threatened to sue.

Why do I think he'll deny it? It appears there is a commonality on all this stuff. Factors: Been going on for decades, was an open secret at the Network/in Hollywood, people who tried to get out the truth were either discredited, hurt, or had their careers destroyed. Their own parents, agents, lawyers did 't protect them. Not even the police for some.
Truly insidious and so many people are complicit.
So why anyone would trust anything out of the current journalists or networks is beyond me. Dan Rather had to know what was happening at CBS, but he wants me to believe him about Trump? Yea, right.

Happily, the employee knew that Watt is a creep, and taped the conversation. The transcript is fascinating, viz :
“Well, you probably want to know what I wanted to talk to you about,” Watt said. “I mentioned to you there is an attraction here that I think needs to be explored. In my experience there are four types of attraction: emotional, spiritual, sexual or of friendship. So, the exercise here is to find out which one exists here.”

Once, I was applying pressure to wounds on a badly mangled kitty-cat as my ex drove the truck to the emergency vet.
She had absolutely lost her composure, and I began worry we'd crash.
I told her I really needed her to calm down.
That's when I learned what a bad mistake that is. Gasoline on a fire.

No seriously. Women get really TURNT over fairly minor things and want to talk about them FOREVER, never adding any additional information or #HotTakes on the trivial snubbing, just perseverating about it forever, and men have all learned that we just have to nod and make Sympathetic Noises for an hour or two until they talk themselves out of their spiral.
It's exhausting. But we do it for you.

In politics I'd suspect the PedoIsland trip is more to set up "kompromat", as our own IC as well as foreign nations all want to control our government. But Hollywood and MSM are both arms of that same villainous globalist power structure.

I know you were, but I had to mention again, that movie sucks.
It might not really suck. I was just super-stoked to see a western, and I saw that piece of shit. Which wasn't a movie. It was just the Top Three Western Plot Tropes packed in to one movie, doing nothing particularly interesting with classic plot-lines, just quickly name-checking them.

This was my father during his forty year marriage to my mother.
Quite amusing to watch. She'd be sitting there going on and on about how bad her job was (Why don't you quit, Mom? I'd ask her when I get sick of listening to it and it was always well you know it's not that bad even though she's been complaining about it for an hour). He'd sit there reading a newspaper and nodding. Sometimes he'd add his own spin and throw out a short question. It definitely worked.

There are thousands of variations, and nuance at play. And, most importantly from my perspective, in order to "eradicate" any and all forms of "racism" and "sexual harassment" you basically have to eliminate the right of an individual to form their own opinions and interact freely with others, and replace it with regimented, limited, socially controlled options.
It's a classic baby and bathwater problem. And, to make it worse, the "tools" of government to "fix" these problems are uniquely blunt and coercive, given that the problem lies mostly in the realm of private thought and subtle social interactions.
So, while I"m not "pro racism" or "pro harassment" I think that in both situations we're well past the point of diminishing returns, and well into the area in which we're just giving up increasing amounts of freedom, privacy and basic enjoyment of life in return for increasingly nebulous gains in "justice" "inclusion" etc.
Everyone's a little bit racist and everyone's a little bit sexist. Even if you put everyone in Happy Diversity Camp there would still be racism and sexism --just with the guards and capos on top. Yes it's great when the Lefties get caught by their own rules but the new rules are really sucking the life out us.

Supposedly the movie Starship Troopers had a script and everything ready
to go well before they ever connected it to Starship Troopers. So it
was just a generic Sci-Fi movie and then they got the rights to
Heinlein's book and did a few tweaks.

My daughter is getting married in the Spring. She actually asked me for some tips for dealing with men. Ok then:
-If you bring a problem to a man, he will try to solve it. If you just want to vent and have him listen, say so.
-For the Love of All that is Holy, do NOT keep a running list of past transgressions, and then nonsensically bring them up to derail an argument......and you will argue. Fight fairly.
-Never, ever use sex as a weapon.
-Keep your head on straight about what is small stuff and what is big stuff. Keep your powder dry for the big stuff.
These are just 4 of many talked about over 2 hours, but big ones.

This is a indictment of the culture and hard for the sanctimonious CBS News personalities and 60 Minutes to lord over the rest of the US ,as our conscience..assholes of the highest order.
