1. Love them

Fire Joey & MEka and give Reid & Phang the morning show.

2. Nah. I prefer them doing their shows independent of Main stream media. They don't have to be constrained by media bosses

The Diddy verdict is disappointing. After a quick deliberation, it seemed that he was going to be found guilty on most of these counts. Sigh.

3. They should still fire

Joey & MEka.

4. Now there's something I couldn't care less about.

5. A rich powerful man victimizing women and the people that work for him? You don't have to care about this case

But at the heart of the matter - that is what it is. Another rich powerful man allowed to get away with abhorrent behavior. As Joy and Katie discussed, it is disheartening that there seems to be a slippage or backlash to the Me Too movement. They also discussed, given this Justice Department, that appears to be only concerned about defending women when it comes to women sports and who can use which bathroom, how likely is it for women to get justice? They talked about the gutting of SDNY that brought this case and other high profile cases in the past. The current SDNY is nothing like the previous SDNY.

ETA:
Would you have said that about the Weinstein case?
