Garrison Keillor fired

On the same day (November 29) as Matt Lauer was fired from NBC.
However, given the way Minnesota Public Radio has acted, Garrison Keillor's statement: "I’ve worked extremely hard on a show that I love for almost 50 years, and somebody else can torch it in one morning, and so it’s all gone. And it’s a difficult thing to discuss,” is certainly true.

"I like the dress you are wearing today",... then the scream,... "sexual harassment".
Don't laugh, you are NOT allowed to comment in any manner, on a women's appearance in the workplace today.
And once again there is a double standard, women can say or do just ever the hell they want, not that I'm complaining
, but no normal guy is going to run to HR. And as for a guy patting a women's ass, yes it shouldn't be done, but its just a normal show of affection for a lot of us guys, and has no real sexual meaning,...shit, straight foot ball players have been seen to do the same
Plus, if a cop shoots a person, he gets desk duty until the facts are known, with what is going on today, a women yells "sexual harassment", and you are instantly convicted.
That's HIS version. This guy, on some level, is very smart. He's come out swinging first, trying to control the narrative. It's working since fans have expressed support.
He's likely guilty of more than he's telling us. I got the impression it was incidents, not just a single one. And while what he did us considered wrong, I don't think anyone would publicly shame themselves over this. Would be like a guy coming forward during a wave of Grand scale embezzlement to say he's guilty of stealing a stapler. More to it.
That all said, didn't have a clue who this guy was until this thread.
If I was unjustly fired from my job (and I'm not saying that's his case), I'd be screaming about it too. Plus, the reason for his termination was likely to get out there eventually, and given the current climate it may be better to get out ahead of it.
