One year after Moonves' exit, CBS TV stations also face harassment and misogyny claims latimes.com/entertainment-…
In 2018, CBS exec Les Moonves was ousted over claims he harassed & assaulted multiple women decades ago. After an investigation, independent firms concluded “harassment & retaliation are not pervasive at CBS”

@MegJamesLAT's reporting, one year ago today: latimes.com/business/holly…
But our new investigation from The Times’ @MegJamesLAT has uncovered claims of discrimination, retaliation and other forms of mistreatment in an overlooked corner of the company: the chain of CBS-owned TV stations
latimes.com/entertainment-…
More than 2 dozen current & former employees of CBS-owned, LA stations (KCBS-TV Channel 2 + KCAL) described a toxic environment where, they said, employees faced age discrimination, misogyny, bullying & sexual harassment—and retaliation if they complained
latimes.com/entertainment-…
Jill Arrington shared her claims of CBS’ toxic culture with us.

It started 4 years ago—She was a star in TV sports as a former NFL sideline reporter but traded national exposure for what she thought would be a more stable job at CBS’ L.A. TV stations.
But she was earning $60k less a year than the male anchor she replaced. This is what Jill Arrington remembers when telling former general manager of CBS’ LA stations, Steve Mauldin, it was unacceptable to pay a woman so much less than a man. Mauldin denies making these remarks.
The meeting ended with no assurance of a raise. As Jill Arrington started to leave, she said her boss made the lewd comment below.

CBS’ Steve Mauldin denied making those remarks to Jill Arrington, giving a statement in response to The Times’ @MegJamesLAT.

This is an excerpt of how CBS responded to our investigation. Full statement:

And “mocked” by her bosses, this award-winning CBS TV reporter in Miami was fired.

Then she sued.

By now, you know #RiseOfTheResidence is in full swing at @WaltDisneyWorld.
The new #StarWars movie is nearly upon us.
#BabyYoda is basically taking over the world.

But did you know an underground L.A. drag race helped promote the first “Star Wars” movie?
latimes.com/projects/large…
@WaltDisneyWorld In 1977, legendary L.A. street racer Big Willie Robinson staged a night of races with help from Lucasfilm, the producer of "Star Wars: Episode IV."

▪️Darth Vader was there.
▪️Boba Fett, in full #TheMandalorian armor, was there.
▪️And it drew a huge crowd. latimes.com/projects/large…
@WaltDisneyWorld @starwars Who was Big Willie?

A street racer who emerged in the ‘60s after the Watts riots, helping to heal a city torn apart by racial violence. Movie stars & miscreants, Crips & Bloods—at the drag strip, he could get them to see eye to eye

Mr. Rogers' widow, Joanne, gave @AmyKinLA an intimate look inside their marriage & personal life

It started when Amy had a phone interview with her last summer. Joanne tracked down Amy's email to say she liked the story—Then, they became virtual pen pals❤️latimes.com/entertainment-…
@AmyKinLA Mr. Rogers' widow, Joanne, still has most of the letters from their early courtship. They’re tucked in a tote bag that hangs by her favorite chair, so she can grab one when she wants to feel close to him 💌latimes.com/entertainment-…
@AmyKinLA @ABeautifulDay @tomhanks If the Rogers couple was out at an event that turned out to be bland, Mr. Rogers had a go-to way of making his wife laugh: passing gas.

“He would just raise one cheek and he would look at me and smile." latimes.com/entertainment-…

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

Joseph Stalin
@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
