Our tax dollars are being well spent at National Public Radio, a left-wing news outlet that has obviously tolerated and enabled a toxic culture of sexual misconduct against women for quite some time.
You can now add NPR icon John Hockenberry to a list that also includes
The last three were fired over allegations of misconduct. Lopate and Schwarts are on an “indefinite leave.”
Hockenberry, however, was allowed to “honorably” retire in August of this year after nearly three decades of co-hosting the morning news program “The Takeaway” for WNYC, which was heard on 270 stations. This early retirement at age 61, occurred six months after a sexual harassment complaint had been filed against him.
Writing for the Guardian, Adaora Udoji, a co-host with Hockenberry, does not allege any sexual misconduct but rather years of bullying that she describes as “excruciating.” Like some of the others, she says she complained to the chain of command, but nothing was done.
“How in the world could this abuse go on for nearly 10 years across three different co-hosts and among other staff and nothing be done? How is that he was rewarded for that behavior with a show by himself in light of a reported trail of complaints?,” she asks.
In less than two months, five powerful men, paid in part with taxpayer dollars, have been fired or put on leave due to sexual misconduct. Another was apparently forced to retire early.
These are our elites.
These are our left-wing arbiters of taste and truth.
And we the taxpayers are subsidizing all of it.
