This is on FOX. Maybe you can figure it out from reading the article. Has something to do with something she said about Kobe.

Gayle King noticeably absent from ‘CBS This Morning’ after trashing network over interview clip

It has to do with Kobe, yes, but should she have spoken about it to that degree?


Don't know. Not a basket ball fan. All I remember is that years ago there was a lot of media attention about Kobe and a woman who worked at a hotel that Kobe was staying at while on the road.

We are now in the #metoo arena so I don't know what's going on.

Do most men? Or maybe, have we a pretty good idea?

The women have stated that all women have to be believed when they make an accusation. For me that is problematic.

To many cases of women making false accusation's.

A recent case was a girl at some college that accused a fraternity of gang raping her at the fraternity house. Some woman wrote the story and it was published. No verification was done.

The college banned the fraternity and expelled the students. without verification. It turns out the girl made up the story and lied about it. She did it for attention

Problem was the damage had been done and reputations had been ruined.

Some more info about Gayle King. Apparently she is getting threats.

Former national security adviser Susan Rice told Snoop Dogg to “back the **** off” from CBS News journalist Gayle King after the rapper slammed King for an interview she did about late NBA legend Kobe Bryant.

King came under attack on social media last week after a clip from a recent interview she did with former WNBA star Lisa Leslie that included a question about Bryant’s 2003 sexual assault allegation went viral.

“We expect more from you, Gayle,” Snoop Dogg said in an Instagram video last week. “Respect the family and back off, b---h, before we come get you," he added along with other disparaging remarks.

In response, Rice tweeted, “This is despicable. Gayle King is one of the most principled, fair and tough journalists alive. Snoop, back the **** off. You come for @GayleKing, you come against an army. You will lose, and it won’t be pretty.”

CBS News President Susan Zirinsky on Saturday called any threats against King “despicable.”

“We fully support Gayle King and her integrity as a journalist. We find the threats against her or any journalist doing their job reprehensible,” she said.

Snoop Dogg had joined with others, including LeBron James, 50 Cent and even Bill Cosby, in criticizing King for asking Leslie whether Bryant's legacy had been complicated by the accusation that he raped a woman at a Colorado resort in 2003. Bryant said the two had consensual sex, and the case was thrown out when his accuser decided not to testify. Bryant later apologized for his behavior and settled a civil suit.

Standard fare for current society when questioning already conferred upon sainthood.

Oh, there we go, the bottom-line, for so many, "Check please!"

Interesting how you jump to that conclusion w/o any real information; just a mirror of the metoo movement.

#MeToo Cofounder Rose McGowan Condemns Snoop Dogg Threat To Gayle King On Kobe Questions
https://deadline.com/2020/02/rose-mcgow ... 202854963/

Rose McGowan added to the chorus of those condemning remarks by TV host and rapper Snoop Dogg for threatening Gayle King, tweeting a message that he should “Grown the f-k up.”

McGowan said today that Bryant was a “hero” for apologizing for the Colorado incident.

“You want to know why Kobe Bryant is a hero? He apologized to a hurt young woman,” the #MeToo pioneer wrote on Twitter early Sunday. “Truth hurts. Death hurts. Grow the f–k up. Kobe stopped hurting women, so can you,” McGowan wrote.

Talk about Change(s):
What did you think of Billy Porter's outfit on the Red Carpet tonight? He got the pouty-lips thing just right, I think.

I feel a need to say something about the above but all I can think of is that whatever that person is wearing would make a nice Halloween costume.

To me, it makes him seem so desperate for attention.

Thanks, Hondo.

Everyone on that red carpet was desperate for the attention without which they barely exist.

Maybe.

P.S. Don't be ashamed of me. I hadn't been watching the entire "Oscar," just the last few minutes, when I changed-channels at 11pm to see the News, and got the Best Actor, film, and actress piece, which was nice to see and find out about. But I haven't been to a movie for years (I think "Passion of the Christ" was the last time I was actually in a moviehouse. :? ).
