Back in the United States, accounts of sexual harassment continue to rock the U.S. journalism industry. Top political journalist Mark Halperin has been fired from NBC, after several women accused him of sexual harassment when he was at ABC. Meanwhile, the head of NPR’s top news department, Michael Oreskes, has been placed on leave as NPR investigates accusations that Oreskes kissed two women, without their consent, while he was Washington bureau chief of The New York Times. Both women say they were meeting with Oreskes to discuss working at the newspaper when he kissed them and stuck his tongue in their mouths.
