  1. Knight – the CBC wouldn’t have any conservative male in their midst to accuse. As for the ‘non-white’ bit: Jian may have referred to himself as a “brown person”, but he is Iranian which is a source word or Aryan. May have a suntan, but not that brown.
    By the way, did he hit on any ‘non-white’ women’?

  2. sadly true.
    For that sort of s e x i s t behavior to be tacitly tolerated in a unionized workplace like CBC, implies it was condoned from higher up. As long as his ratings were good, they would cover it up.

  3. I don’t know about the Royal Commission, but it sounds like some CBC groupies got a royal Ghomeshin’.

  4. The CBC should be treating Ghomeshi the same way the CBC and other media treated Ray Rice. Before the elevator video came out, the woman’s word was all that was needed to get him off the Baltimore Ravens. When the video came out, the media wanted to go up the ladder, to “who saw the video and when”. They went hard after commissioner Goodell, and wanted him fired and anyone else that may have seen the video of Rice hitting his wife in the elevator.

  5. Do you not believe NINE women when they make these allegations, Jay? Oh wait…they must be making it up or it’s a mass conspiracy…right…

  6. “[Y]ou forget that Jian started all this by his preemptive strike Facebook posting where he said 1) he was into edgy sex, but 2) everything was consensual…”
    Indeed.
    Actually, his pre-emptive strike was really more of a suicide bombing. I don’t care how “progressive”, “modern” or “liberated” people might claim to be, there’s simply no way to make “rough sex” presentable to the public at large.
    Ghomeshi is toast.

  7. It appears the cbc has known of Ghomeshi’s behaviour for years. It’s hard to imagine that news of this outrage wouldn’t have reached the upstairs corner office.
    He could make management look awful bad if he starts to talk…..especially if he is on the stand and things aren’t going well.

  8. “He could make management look awful bad if he starts to talk…..especially if he is on the stand and things aren’t going well.”
    Before this is all over I suspect we will witness a dramatic bonfire of Canada’s most cherished, high-minded “progressive” vanities.
    Grab a snack and a cold one, sit back, and enjoy the show!

  9. “Fortunately, sexual abuse doesn’t happen in churches or in the military…”
    Well, After years of CBC reporting of sexual abuse cover-ups in other institutions, should it turn out that the corporation was engaged in just such activities itself, the irony would be tremendous.
