      1. This Ghomeshi self-pardoning piece is garbage. Let me explain why.https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/10/11/reflections-hashtag/ …

      2. The piece over all is drenched in self-pity. Although he makes a few nods at contrition, the vast majority of it is about how it is he, Ghomeshi, who has suffered. To give you a flavor, it opens with a woman apologizing to him.

      3. Ghomeshi writes, “several more people accused me of sexual misconduct." In fact, that "several" is 24 in all. And the accusations include not just "misconduct" but, more specifically, choking, punching and kicking, among other violence.

      4. Ghomeshi doesn't mention he sued his former employer, the CBC, for wronglful dismal, withdrew the lawsuit, and ended up paying their court expenses.

      5. Ghomeshi doens't acknowledge that to get one of the charges withdrawn he had to admit wrong-doing and apologize.

      6. Ghomeshi makes it sound like his admitted misconduct dates from becoming a celebrity when in fact there are accusations going back to his undergraduate days.

          It should not surprise anyone that JG has learned nothing. His narcissism and massive self regard prevents him from seeing anyone's pain but his own. Sort of like he had a stroke which destroyed his emphatic sense. He is not capable of awareness that women are people who matter.

          my heart broke when this happened. yes, i was captivated by that beautiful voice. i did my homework. i was disturbed by what i read. to now read only a snippet where he minimizes the abuse is telling, not only about him but the time we live in.

          Article includes questionable interpretations of events. E.g. "There had been no formal complaints at work that I was aware of". CBC internal investigation found that mgrs had spoken to him informally more than once about problems with his behaviour http://www.cbc.radio-canada.ca/_files/cbcrc/documents/press/report-april-2015-en.pdf …

          Absolutely. Their brains are catastrophically split off from any accountability. Nothing is ever their fault. At most choking women means "being demanding" in relationships. 🙄
