Journalist Mark Halperin suspended by MSNBC over sexual harassment claims
Prominent MSNBC journalist Mark Halperin and co-author of a best-selling book about Barack Obama has been suspended from his role as a contributor to the network following charges from five women who claimed he sexually harassed them while he was an ABC News executive. The co-author of the bestselling book Game Change, told CNN on Wednesday night that he was “deeply sorry” and was taking a “step back” from day-to-day work to deal with the situation.
- The women, who asked to remain anonymous, said they did not report Halperin’s conduct because they feared retribution or were embarrassed.
- Alleged incidents occurred at ABC in early 2000s
It seems that as time goes on, more and more people in high power are being exposed for their corrupt power. This suggests there is an issue with how we perceive celebrities or institutional figures.
