The most senior editor at NPR and part of senior management at NPR.

The left is eating it's own.

[ClearCase_guy]

Some have asked me if it took published news reports for us to take action. The answer is that it did not.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

FAKE NEWS!

[Vendome]

I guess being F-ugly is a per-requisite for sexual harassment.

I’m lucky and don’t suffer that problem....

[bigbob]

First leftie I remember who “dint do nuffin and I’m not going anywhere”

[IWontSubmit]

I smell anti-semitism ... cough cough

[alternatives?]

There was a formal complaint in 2015. That is what probably sealed the deal. He might have survived what happened in the 1990’s. That was 20 years ago.

[bkopto]

Well, well, well. Another (((pervert))).

[Grampa Dave]

There goes another one!

DC/Hollywood/NY City pervert!

[Buckeye McFrog]

People at NPR have sex?

On the air they sound so LOW ENERGY I never would have thought so.

[I want the USA back]

20 years ago. And it’s just an accusation. The only thing good about it is that a far lefty is feeling the effects of leftism.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

How do they know they were harassed? Listening to their product puts most people into a catatonic state.

[Red Badger]

On the air they sound so LOW ENERGY I never would have thought so.

The harassing remarks were made with soft voices and references to Foucault.

[RckyRaCoCo]

All things considered....NPR is filled with leftist hypocrites.

[Drango]

There was a 2015 complaint at NPR that wasn’t as serious but it likely sealed his dismissal. He made a 26 year old cry.

[Army Air Corps]

Listening to their product puts most people into a catatonic state.

That's the way he likes his women.

[DannyTN]

LOL

[reg45]

His victim was a female. That’s a big surprise. Considering the NPR agenda, I would have expected a boy. Perhaps he was the token heterosexual.

[eyeamok]

two women who said Oreskes had made unwanted physical advances on them in the 1990s.

So he hit on 2 women that apparently turned him down, what’s the big deal?m I make numerous unwanted sexual advances towards my wife every single day.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I'm certainly enjoying the schadenfreude of anyone at NPR getting their butt kicked. However, I'm starting to think that there should be a statute of limitations on these accusations.

Some rude behavior which happened 25 or 30 years ago should not be grounds for jeopardizing someone's job. If the "victims" were adults at the time of the "incident" and did not raise the issue, then perhaps note of should be made of the accusation, but not used as grounds for hosing someone's career.

Of course in the case of children as victims, that is completely different, and the perp should be held accountable, no matter how many years may have transpired.
