12. I've got to give him credit for taking responsibility and speaking plainly.

I'm taking this as sincere, and it sure sounds like he's remorseful and has changed. Only the women who worked with him after abc know for sure. He's walking out of his current life, and not knowing the extent of his actions, I can't stand in judgement of whether or not that's sufficient.

Should he be in prison? Don't know. Cosby should. Michael Jackson should have been. OJ should still be. Weinstein should. Don't know about Halperin.

Gotta say that all the years I watched him on am Joe he was never the asshat, and seemed more level-headed and fair and honest than the rest, but that's irrellevant if he really hurt women off-air.

He's certainly taking a stand in our favor, and taking this out on himself. Can't see it any other way.

If all perpetrators could get here, it would be a better world.
