Add Travis Smiley to the list of men pulled off the air on radio or TV based on accusations of improper past conduct.
The list being mostly liberal men is not mitigating the underlying principle.
We have:
Garrison Keiller
Tom Ashbrook
Al Franken
Leonard Lapote
Jonathan Schwartz (WNYC)
Matt Lauer
Who else?
Weinstein, Rose, Conyers, Spacey… a new one every day, so it is hard to keep track.
I quit listening to Laporte (years ago) when I heard him harassing a woman on the air, it was blatantly obvious over the radio, didn’t need to see a video stream. What a twit.
Yes, most are liberals. I guess that makes me seem biased, except it has been my observation that male ‘champions of feminism’ tend to be the worst offenders. The Spacey incidents expose another sub-category. i.e. men being harassed by gay men.
We haven’t heard from the Countess in awhile, what are her thoughts on this sudden avalanche of accusations and revelations? Did she win the 1st annual Haiku contest?
You might be confusing syndicated Leo Laporte (the tech guy) with Leonard Lopate (the WNYC Public radio host heard only in New York metro). Lapote was not a political show, but ultimatrly most subjects have some government connection

Okay, I thought it was perhaps a typo… never heard of Lopate.
Laporte still belongs on the list, anyone listening was a witness.
Apparently the New York Times is keeping a list, 42 and counting:

oh yeah Chairman listed him, but I had to emphasize : PBS fellow,
‘The Crusty paw’ himself, Ole ‘Good-time’ Charlie Rose.
Ha ha ha ha Condescending punk,
Salma Hayak was always hot, if she just doesn’t talk, I like her accent, but I don’t want to hear her talk.
