Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble
The allegations are not of sexual "aggressiveness" (or fanny-slapping, as you put it yesterday in a remarkably ugly and dismissive way). Here's the LA Times: "SAN DIEGO — Turning up the pressure on Mayor Bob Filner to resign, three former supporters Monday released details of his alleged sexual harassment of women, including the forcible kissing of two constituents and grabbing the buttocks and breast of a staff member."— July 16, 2013 4:37 p.m.
U-T’s Taylor Baldwin on Filner: “He made me feel cheap”
Investigative reporters DID look into the rumors. They couldn't find enough confirmation to report anything. (They did, however, write quite a bit about Filner's viciously abusive behavior toward others like colleagues and staffers.) http://voiceofsandiego.org/2013/07/10/the-long-hi…— July 16, 2013 12:31 p.m.
Constituent says Mayor Filner sexually harassed her at monthly meet and greet event
Wow, this is helpful. I did not know that it's impossible for older women to be sexually harassed.— July 15, 2013 12:09 p.m.
Todd Gloria Mayoral signs ready pre-Pride and Filner has NOT even resigned!!
Hard to believe I have to explain the proper use of "fabulous" in a gay context, but as a public service, here goes: He's talking about the slogan at the bottom of the poster, which is meant to get a knowing chuckle from a gay audience. Would you like me to provide any more gay-to-straight translations? Bears, perhaps? Lipstick lesbians? Breeders? I'm here to serve.— July 15, 2013 1:06 a.m.
Constituent says Mayor Filner sexually harassed her at monthly meet and greet event
It's fine to debate the use of anonymous sources in journalism, even anonymously (although that's certainly ironic). It's not fine to impugn a journalist's integrity based on assumptions and bad information. Dorian is a professional journalist with a fine track record who follows the ethical standards of our profession. He is NOT some "blogger" who's accountable to no one.— July 15, 2013 12:34 a.m.
Constituent says Mayor Filner sexually harassed her at monthly meet and greet event
Read the rest of the thread, La Playa. The attempts at humiliation have already started.— July 14, 2013 11:25 p.m.
Constituent says Mayor Filner sexually harassed her at monthly meet and greet event
Women who come forward will be mocked as fabulists, scorned as sluts and accused of being opportunists. This is just the beginning.— July 14, 2013 10:51 p.m.
Todd Gloria Mayoral signs ready pre-Pride and Filner has NOT even resigned!!
Got it: Anonymous sources who say they're intimidated and afraid are absolutely terrible and unreliable. Unless they're YOUR intimidated and afraid anonymous sources. Then they're totally fine.— July 14, 2013 5:30 p.m.
Big people talk about issues; small people talk about people
"Just want to say how glad I am that The Reader and all the good investigative Reader journalists who constantly contribute news about San Diego do NOT feel that they need to announce their personal opinions..." Yes, Reader writers are known for that.— July 11, 2013 9:55 p.m.
Jeff Olson, the Mad Chalker, prosecuted by city attorney for words in front of Bank Of America
That's very interesting background. But it's hard to know if the case against the Latvian guy was bogus or not. Btw, the profiles on the site you mention don't seem to include non-political jobs. Bob Filner's bio, for example, only starts in 1975. http://www.joincalifornia.com/candidate/5980— July 4, 2013 5:38 p.m.
