That headline doesn’t really match what he said

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Yep, but it didn't change everyone shitting on him on Twitter for it.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

People don't read the whole story anymore.

 

[geniusMoment]

Wow, I really didn't see this coming:

And she was recruited to join by Kristin Kreuk.

After the stuff she put in her book about what she did to her sister while they were growing up... I don't know if that's the right person to lead the defense.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

The fact that she's remorseless about it is pretty damning too.

Well, this is interesting:

"There is no evidence that any pattern of physiological reactions is unique to deception. An honest person may be nervous when answering truthfully and a dishonest person may be non-anxious. Also, there are few good studies that validate the ability of polygraph procedures to detect deception. As Dr. Saxe and Israeli psychologist Gershon Ben-Shahar (1999) note, "it may, in fact, be impossible to conduct a proper validity study." In real-world situations, it's very difficult to know what the truth is."

I get that they aren't perfect. But, in the grand scheme of things I tend to believe if someone passes a polygraph they are more likely to be telling the truth than not.

The thing is, all this is he said-she said unless there is proof one way or the other. I'm just not real comfortable with the new climate (which in all fairness seems to be the opposite of the old climate) of women don't ever lie about this, so if they make an accusation it's true.

And my guess is if this were the opposite. If she took a polygraph and passed it, the reaction would be different.

I always thought Charlie was asexual.

the stat for false reports is like 3% so if the woman passed it would be reinforcing something that was already incredibly likely. Polygraph tests are total bullshit though so I wouldn't use it to believe anyone.

You can also just take a valium or something to calm you down beforehand.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

He's in a profession where he lies and pretends to be someone else, and has been for the past 20+ years.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

pretty much

 

[BigD]

What happens if the mainstream takes an interest in the WWE.

Matt Lauer gone from NBC. They say the complaint was made Monday so if that is true they must have taken it really seriously because that is FAST.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Looks like a big story about Lauer is/was going to drop, so likely a case of NBC wanting to get out ahead of it to save some face.

At @Variety, @RaminSetoodeh & I had been working on a Matt Lauer story for months and NBC was aware. There are multiple women we've spoken to with far-ranging accusations against Lauer. The power of journalism has never been more evident with this cultural change.

 

[Hawk 34]

Probably a good thing all the GOATS like Cronkite are gone. I’m watching you, Dan Rather.

 

[KOAB]

It sounds like once he learned what Fuck, Marry, Kill was... he would loudly play it behind the scenes letting the women he worked with know where he would rank them.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Which name would bum you guys out the most if they were added on to this?

If Tom Hanks turned out to be a scumbag I think I’d lose all faith in humanity.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Bryan Cranston

 

[Brocklock]

Danny DeVito. Although, I remember him and Rhea Pearlman separated for a little bit a few years ago because of his partying, so maybe it wouldn't be a huge surprise. Larry David is another one.

 

[Robert]

John Goodman.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Paul Rudd
Keanu Reeves
Tom Hanks
Danny DeVito

Those would surprise me, especially Paul and Keanu.

 

[CookieMueller]

Michael J Fox
Steven Spielberg

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Michael J. Fox would definitely be on my small list of shockers. Gary Oldman would be another that would surprise me/really bum me out.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Colbert and fox.

 

[KOAB]

No Stewart?
