The executive editor of the New York Times calls outing Bill O'Reilly and Harvey Weinstein the newspaper's biggest stories of his tenure, the ones of which he is most proud. I can't decide if I'm okay with that.
Certainly, the stories needed to be told. Convincing the accusers to speak publicly was a coup others had tried and failed to accomplish, according to Rachel Maddow. But the New York Times published the Pentagon Papers, igniting all sorts of things .... the end of a war, the end of a Presidency.
I'm not sure that men will stop behaving badly.
In the meantime, if I have to watch their female announcers wearing cocktail dresses cut down to here with hemlines up to there, then I want ESPN's male announcers to stand beside them in black leather pants, shirtless. I'm looking for equal opportunity exploitation.
