Five Women Accuse Liberal Media Prick Mark Halperin of Sexual Harassment

I usually don't post this early but I should get this up.

That's what Mark Halperin said.

They told me that an out of control fire was dangerous, but it's glorious! Glorious, I tell you!

Veteran journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women while he was in a powerful position at ABC News, according to five women who shared their previously undisclosed accounts with CNN and others who did not experience the alleged harassment personally, but were aware of it.

"During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me," Halperin said in a statement to CNN Wednesday night. "I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I'm going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation."

...

[W]omen who spoke to CNN say he also had a dark side not made public until now. The stories of harassment shared with CNN range in nature from propositioning employees for sex to kissing and grabbing one's breasts against her will. Three of the women who spoke to CNN described Halperin as, without consent, pressing an erection against their bodies while he was clothed. Halperin denies grabbing a woman's breasts and pressing his genitals against the three women.

You asked for a miracle? I give you the M. S. M.

While Halperin apologizes for some stuff, he denies the more serious stuff about groping.

"Open Secret:" A CNN reporter says that Halperin's harassing ways were an open secret at ABC, which didn't seem to bother the arch-liberal, super-feminist MSNBC when they hired him.

So now we play the game with the media: Who knew, and why did you conceal it?

Halperin's now out at NBC and MSNBC while they attempt to "understand" his past behavior.

Note the accusers are currently accusing him from his days at ABC. No one has (so far) said he did anything objectionable while at MSNBC.

But it's early in the day yet.
