I'd missed some of it when I was in the kitchen.

Then I realized what it was about. I get it if some thought Gayle's question was out of line. Just say so. Don't resort to such misogyny.

Joe's right. It's bullshit that Snoop got a pass. I always liked and respected him, but after seeing that video, I can't and won't.

Michael Richards, Roseanne Barr and others have lost their jobs and can't even hardly set foot in public. I can't believe Snoop isn't paying any sort of price for this.

No apology can make up for that video in my eyes.

The circle firing squad over bringing up a relevant part of Kobe Bryant's past is what's out of line. The guy was an accused rapist who paid off the victim. Its rather shocking that any journalist who so much as mentions that is threatened with firing or in this case worse. Its like metoo never happened if you are a basketball star.

who is getting death threats.

“She is not doing well. May, I say, she is not doing well because she now has death threats and has to now travel with security. She’s feeling very much attacked,” Winfrey said in a Friday interview on NBC’s Today With Hoda and Jenna.
