As noted on ‘The Ingraham Angle,’ one publication has insisted on full exposure of alleged violators — but not within its own house

The Boston Globe on December 8 published the results of a self-examination of its corporate culture in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Curiously, although the examination uncovered a recent instance of alleged sexual impropriety that resulted in the resignation of at least one reporter, the publication declined to name that reporter — describing the scandal as a “confidential personnel matter.”

This same organization has gone after the Catholic Church for sexual impropriety and abuse by priests — with demands for transparency from the church over sexual abuse allegations lodged against several priests.

“The Ingraham Angle” on Monday night took the Globe to task on the hypocritical stance. Host Laura Ingraham noted that the Globe’s reasoning for choosing not to reveal the name of the reporter included the fact that the incident did not involve physical violence.
