In reply to the discussion: Clinton says she spoke to staffer who accused top adviser of harassment [View all]karynnj
(59,504 posts)I will admit that maybe I should have written what I did as a response to the overall thread or maybe even a stand alone thread.
I responded to yours, because I disagree that the NYT was wrong to report this. If they - or any media - was not allowed to "cast the first stone" unless their entire staff was not guilty of anything similar, we might not have any content in any media.
What I was addressing was whether there is reason to criticise Clinton here. If I had to boil down my response - it was to identify extenuating circumstances and to question whether there should be a zero tolerance policy. I have long thought that zero tolerance policies on almost anything end up with some cases where most would agree the rule was never intended to create that consequence for those few cases.
