BLUF: it turns out that Mr Thrush has a habit of using company outings as a platform from which to isolate young female members of the staff under the guise of offering them mentorship, etc. He then plies them with alcohol, and begins putting his hands and mouth where they aren't wanted.

Gosh. If only there was some kind of indication that Thrush wasn't full of journalistic integrity.

Journalist are fallible, it seems. At least we have the virtuous folks in politics and entertainment as our society's shining light.

Well, the one doesn't really have to do with the other, of course. Knowing Thrush is a hack doesn't really equate to having forewarning of the other stuff.

I dunno. I kinda tend to suspect if you lack integrity in one area of your life, you are likely to lack it in others.

This is almost as disgusting as the Fox News sexual allagations, but not quite.
