CBS' Bill Kurtis: Herman Cain, Sharon Bialek Harassment 'Roles May Even Have Been REVERSED'

From The Blaze:

…Veteran journalist and CBS anchor Bill Kurtis on WLS sa(id) that Herman Cain’s accuser, Sharon Bialek, is a former CBS employee with a ‘track record.’ Given her checkered past, a chuckling Kurtis posited that Bialek‘s and Cain’s roles in the alleged car-incident could even have been reversed.

Some of Kurtis’ observations on Bialek were as follows:

‘She has a history.’

‘There is a lot more to this story.’

‘I can assure you that there will be far more to this story.’

‘Let’s put Herman or Sharon in the car and say their roles may even have been reversed, given her track record here.’

Bialek worked for CBS radio station WCKG from 2006-2007.

…Precious few news outlets are delving into Bialek’s questionable history.
  

Now, obviously, ‘sexual harassment’ is, legally, a power thing. An employee can’t threaten an employer with punitive action if they don’t get nookie, but people are still people. Sex happens. And there’s no reason to believe that one human couldn’t make sexual overtures to another human no matter what their job title is.

Do you realize what this means?  Herman, by monolithic description, is a true gentleman, so may be in the awful position of not wanting to ‘out’ this woman’s advances to him!  Knowing, too, that by the simple act of trying to save his campaign, he may torpedo it by being a cad – when he wasn’t.

Herman may have even hinted in his presser yesterday that this was exactly what happened when he said that ‘sex harassment’ can go from woman to man, not just man to woman – again, quite apart from the important legal distinction involving the role of power.

Wow.  You couldn’t write this any better.

Is it Any Wonder Nobody Watches These Clowns?

This is a screen capture of CBS News website at just before 3pm Thursday 05/06/10. See the problem? Let me help you. It’s the headline. Still stumped? Ready?

There was no Department of Homeland Security in 1999. It was created after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Murrow must be rolling over in his grave.  This page went up at 5:22pm on May 5. Down in the comments section (not captured here, sorry) someone had posted as early at about 11am on May 6 that they noticed the error, too, which makes it even worse, because that means that at least four hours had passed from the time that comment was left to when I happened upon the site and saw the error.  So it went overnight without anyone catching it, then all the way until after the CBS morning news had reported it and beyond. Adding to the circus like inanity of the webpage, also not captured here, unfortunately, is the smiling visage of that cougar herself, one Miss Katherine Couric of the clacking heels and faux perkiness.

Never mind the content of the headline which tells us that Janet Planet & O are asleep at the friggin’ switch, even in the wake of their public declarations to have a “stem to stern” look-see at DHS after the underwear bomber at Christmas time.

Maybe we could borrow 60 minutes tick-tick-tick stopwatch from down the hall there at CBS to clock how long it will take before they fix the error. You can check here.
