This is a very clear example as to why we should not encourage people to bring their whole selves to work if it exposes others to poor behaviour.
There seems to be a very thin line between libertarian beliefs and licentiousness for some people.

Well I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.
(that the bbc are reporting on it)

PinkNews, a website that is concerned over transphobia when reporting about trans women sexually assaulting people, is now investigated over sexual misconduct.

Well you can accuse PinkNews of many things, but not hypocrisy.

Tbh I doubt it.

Finding out that people have been subjected to sexual abuse, workplace bullying and misogyny isn't really a cause for celebration. It's more wry smile territory.

True, and I in no way am celebrating the people have suffered. More that the fragrant Benjamin is getting his comeuppance after blatantly targeting JKR with misogynistic bile for years.

@@DodoPatrol @UndeniablyGenX Sorry, must’ve worded message badly due to late hour 😱- I meant karma for Pink News - who run scurrilous stories with no fact checking!

Oh I really hope that JKR has cracked open the champagne this morning!

Oh my goodness. It's really all starting to tumble.

Come on! This subject is extremely topical, of course the BBC would have run it if it was about another well-known organisation. If it's particularly newsworthy, that's because Pink News has always branded itself as ultra-inclusive.

Show quote history

Clearly so ultra-inclusive they include sex pests.

"Representatives for Mr Cohen and Dr James told the BBC they were not able to provide a statement at this time, but that their position is that the allegations are false."
Strange wording.Confused

Can't believe Keir Starmer was involved in their award show. He really is a weak minded twat.

Slothtoes · 10/12/2024 08:16

Aside from the multiple allegations of sexual harassment… Asking their female members of staff to be their surrogates. Wow. It’s like the cherry on the top of the exploitation cake.

WarriorN · 10/12/2024 08:14

Is this a documentary or a news report on iPlayer?

Feels like they're going all out..

PinkNews bosses accused of sexual misconduct
Cerialkiller · 10/12/2024 07:54

I mean...usually I would give people the benefit of the doubt...but that's a LOT of former employees.

Sounds like it was an open secret. If the BBC are reporting it then i have very little doubt it isn't true as otherwise there would be more 'balance' in the story.

UndeniablyGenX · 10/12/2024 07:45

redalex261 · 10/12/2024 00:54

Oh well. I'm sure they would have been keen to run this very story complete with obligatory lurid headline had it been about any other organisation.

Fact checking optional....

"As well as interviewing 33 people who worked at PinkNews between 2017 and 2024, we have also seen a variety of evidence including official written complaints, private emails and WhatsApp messages sharing staff members’ concerns, plus doctors’ records referring to stress and mental health struggles attributed to the work environment at PinkNews."

Sounds like they've tried to fact check?

borntobequiet · 10/12/2024 07:38

Ah, an influential news outlet harbours sexual predators and misogynists.

Pot/kettle/black.

NotBadConsidering · 10/12/2024 01:57

So they know the difference between men and women when it comes to:

a) providing them with a baby and
b) knowing who to allegedly sexually assault?

I don't think fact checking is optional on this story - the LGBTQ community have been unhappy with the behaviour of the owners/managers of Pink News for a good while and this is not the only story that members of that community have been forthcoming about to the news media (with evidence and on the record quotes).
