Star New York Times reporter suspended for alleged sexual misconduct
Sexual harassment, though I don't see that the last thing mentioned in this snip actually counts as that.
A star political reporter at the New York Times has been suspended over allegations of sexual misconduct involving younger, female journalists.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Times called the allegations against Glenn Thrush, one of the newspaper's top reporters covering the Trump administration, "very concerning and not in keeping with the standards and values of The New York Times."
"We intend to fully investigate and while we do, Glenn will be suspended," the spokesperson said. "We support his decision to enter a substance abuse program. In the meantime, we will not be commenting further."
A story published Monday by the policy and politics website Vox.com said that Thrush, 50, has "a history of bad judgment around young women journalists."
The story included allegations from three women, as well as the article's author Laura McGann, who together accused Thrush of "a range of similar experiences" that included unwanted groping and kissing and "hazy sexual encounters that played out under the influence of alcohol."
Maybe there's a lot more of this going on than is known to men who don't do it.
Maybe our wives and daughters and girlfriends and moms just never tell us.
