AP Won't Print Name of Sex Harassment Accuser of Waffle House CEO -- B

In a story on a sexual harassment complaint against Joseph Rogers, the CEO of Waffle House, AP reporter Kate Brumback would not name the accuser, since "The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sexual harassment."

Brian Williams Turned to Steve Schmidt on Election Night: Tell Them It

Walter Williams Column: Our Deviant Society

Here's one usage of the term gentleman: The gentleman helped the fallen lady to her feet. Here's another, one we might hear from a newscaster or a police spokesman: Tonight we report on the arrest of two gentlemen who raped, sodomized and murdered an 80-year-old woman.

MSNBC Contributor Joy-Ann Reid Dismisses Black, Hispanic Republicans A

As if she half-expected conformity, the Grio's managing editor Joy-Ann Reid expressed doubt on MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner that conservatives will ever be enlightened enough to move enough towards the center to win an election.
