Garrison Keillor now goes down

[DigitalDrifter]

This is amazing

Garrison Keillor, the former host of "A Prairie Home Companion," says he's been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of improper behavior.

Keillor told The Associated Press of his firing in an email. In a follow-up statement, he says he was fired over "a story that I think is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard."

He didn't give details of the allegation. Minnesota Public Radio didn't immediately respond to messages.

Apparently he had more than just a prairie home companion.

Is anyone safe?

I read a column of his today about being careful about judging the past by today's standards.

He must have had a premonition that something heavy was rolling down the hill.

Yeah - I feel horrid for Matt Lauer too. But it's good that all this crap is coming out.

The days of the good ol' boys sexual harassment club are over.

I hope he writes a column about it, as only he can, and that the papers will publish it. He could do that in a discrete way.

Nope. I don't think he saw it coming at all, whatever it is.
His is a voice that should not be silenced, though. I can't help it if that's hypocritical. That's how I feel about it.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I agree that he should be published.

Your username is insensitive and likely to harrass female members of this board.

He already is punished, DD, and he will be given a second chance, for that is the American way.

This is from EvilEyeFleegle's thread on the same topic:

Garrison Keillor Says He Has Been Fired Over Allegations of Improper Conduct

The real shocker---MPR says they are going to change the name of the Prairie Home Companion!

"Minnesota Public Radio said it would also cut off all business relationships with Mr. Keillor’s media companies, including ending distribution and broadcast of “The Writer’s Almanac” and rebroadcasts of “The Best of A Prairie Home Companion hosted by Garrison Keillor.”

It will also change the name of American Public Media’s weekly music and variety program hosted by Chris Thile, who took over “A Prairie Home Companion” in October 2016, after Mr. Keillor retired."

Boycott, bones!

Depends on whether there are multiple accusers.
