And what is the alleged sexual misconduct this time? Witholding judgement until the evidence is presented. Alligations over sexual misconduct is so vague now that I give everybody the thousand mile stare at work, dont look at them, look through them. Then I get called out for not acknowledging them. It’s a no win.

Waiting for NDGT to condescendingly explain how these accusations are utterly meaningless in the context of our random, arbitrary, Godless universe.

TWO networks “investigating”? In this cockeyed world, that’s a death sentence.

Apparently gone are the days when a case such as this had to be adjudicated in court, with a defendant offered the chance to mount a defense.

Not a fan of deGrasse, but when television networks suddenly become the judiciary, apparently just because they can, I have problems.

"Pluto not being a planet any more"

That's total kr@p.

If it were true, NASA would never have sent any probes by.

“...behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner toward them...”

And what in the Hades is that supposed to mean?

His politics may be questionable; his science is pretty good, considering that it is simplified, popularized science ala Popular Science or Science Digest.

Was he being hired to speak of science or for his political behavior?

Don’t want television networks somehow suddenly becoming the judiciary. We’re supposed to have a judiciary for that.
