Glenn Beck's sexual harassment video on YouTube (Olbermann's WPITW)

[2008]

From the YouTube page (posted yesterday):

Dina Sansing from US Weekly was stunned into silence when Glenn Beck hinted that he'd like to take some "nude photos" of her during the discussion about tawdry pictures of American Idol's Antonella Barba.

I'm giving odds this will be on Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World segment. It is quite possibly a form of sexual harassment, requesting nude photos from a guest.

This from a guy who embarrasses his family on a regular basis by talking about his "former" addiction to pornography, as if the porn addiction of a right-wing fundamentalist ever goes away.

1. Olbermann had this clip on tonight, how awkward and inappropriate.

Glenn Beck is a giant asshole and i hope cnn dispatches with him soon.

2. the video is so telling

you really feel for that girl as he makes her
skin crawl.

3. indeed, that really awkward pause and the look on her face, you knew she

was horrified. he really is a pig.

6. It's especially objectifying when you remember that...

...a guest is instructed to look directly into the camera at all times, no matter what happens.

So she has to take that degrading comment while looking directly at her parents, her siblings, her significant other, her friends and her colleagues.

17. Oh God, I didn't know that. That IS bad!!! nt

4. You can tell by looking at him that he's gonna flame out

like a forking empty headed roman candle

12. That's what I'm counting on...

and in a fashion as grand as the Good Reverend Haggard.

15. Heh did you see him yesterday trying to recover from

Olbermanns lashing? "I'm pretty sure after 30 years in TV and radio there is nothing I can say to make me lose my job." I'm saving that quote for when the time comes. Olbermann has a way of driving people to the edge by using their own words against them. It's a wonderful talent.

5. Could she sue him for sexual harassment or something?

Just hoping!
Poor woman looked so shocked.

10. Is she a paid CNN consultant?

Does she get paid for appearing and making comments on his show? Was she harrassed while doing her job, such that she might be intimidated into not objecting to the behavior for fear of losing income? I would like to see an attorney take her case, if there's standing to sue.

7. Didn't Olbermann just say a little while ago that this idiot is prone to saying stupid things?

And that eventually he'll say something so stupid he'll get fired?

8. Is There a Longer Video?

From watching this, I feel there is some context missing. If I were to guess, I imagine perhaps he's calling her out for publishing the photos (or peeks of them) in the first place. I have no idea, really.

11. here's a longer version

13. Okay. Thanks. What An Ass

I think it was more patronizing than harassing. The tone of his voice sounded dismissive.

9. Dina should be ashamed of associating with such a racist POS, though

she may not have known what she was facing (although, given the fact that she is a journalist, i don't think that is much of an excuse).

[walldude]

14. I don't think she was expecting that..

She seemed rather shocked, and it took her a sec to recover. The best thing is he pulls this right after attempting to berate Olbermann. Wanna bet on Worst Person In The World?

[Tom Joad]

18. Still, this Beck is as bad as David Duke. I would have no respect for a

journalist who gives credibility to Duke.

[Bronyraurus]

16. Well THAT'S embarrassing.
