The Media is Decadent and Depraved

Via the Times, we learn that the New Republic's Leon Wieseltier is a sex-criminal:

Leon Wieseltier, a prominent editor at The New Republic for three decades who was preparing to unveil a new magazine next week, apologized on Tuesday for “offenses against some of my colleagues in the past” after several women accused him of sexual harassment and inappropriate advances.

Wieseltier edited The New Republic's books and and arts section which was always a mass of unreadable high culture. It appears he was about to start a new unreadable magazine dedicated to high culture:

But it was perhaps the now-scuttled new magazine that exemplified both Mr. Wieseltier’s intellectual ambition and the loyal roster of high-powered collaborators he accumulated over the years. Contributors to the first issue consisted of longtime New Republic contributors, including the historian Timothy Snyder, the law professor and former Obama regulations czar Cass Sunstein, the foreign policy writer Robert Kagan and the dance historian Jennifer Homans.
It may have been bankrolled by a Silicon Valley fortune, but Mr. Wieseltier, who has often inveighed against the corrosive effects of technology on culture, described it as a throwback.

“The model is something like Partisan Review, circa 1955,” he said in an interview last year with the blog of the National Endowment of the Arts.

Who talks like that?

Kind of puts the Johnathan Glass scandal in perspective, doesn't it?

Then there's Mark Halperin:

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.

Ok lot's of powerful men make passes at women and...wait...he did what? On no he didn't:

But women 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.

Oh yes he did.

Who does that? Mark Halperin, that's who.

So these two high-falutin journalists were talking all high and mighty about Donald Trump's 'pussy tape' while wagging their dicks at the women unfortunate enough to work for them.

Meanwhile us normies are wondering if its OK to tell a female colleague that we like her new hairdo.
