      1. As mentioned earlier Kathryn Borel's account obeing abused by Ghomeshi is important:http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/02/-sp-jian-ghomeshi-sexual-harassment-cbc-ignored …

      2. Aside from further accounts of Ghomeshi's vileness, article important for institutional portrait of CBC management's enabling.

      3.The description this article offers of CBC (budget cuts, hunger for celebrity face, precarious staffers) overlaps with my own sense.

      5. The estimable @dsquareddigest has contested the analysis offered by Borel & myself:https://twitter.com/dsquareddigest/status/539783314979037185 …

      @HeerJeet the thing that amazes me is that even now, she is partly blaming "demoralised by budget cuts"! Like if they had a few $ more...

      6. His argument is talking about budget cuts,etc. is just side issue, deflecting blame.

      7. @dsquareddigest also points to Jimmy Savile scandal as counter-example: happened when BBC was flush with cash.

      8. Stepping back, argument isn't so much about direct causation as the sociology of abuse and its tolerance.

      9. Abuse & tolerance of abuse flourishes, I'd argue, in hierarchies: Catholic church & other religions, military, Hollywood.

          10. In a stark hierarchy, a few individuals have immense power, so their abuse gets tolerated and protected (for institutional reasons).

          11. In Savile case, hierarchy that protected him was longstanding BBC pyramid, with special forbearance for "light entertainment" dept.

          @HeerJeet Does abuse flourish specifically within hierarchical structures, or in any places-- or relationships-- with power imbalances?

          @HeerJeet Interesting to look at Youtube-- a supposedly freeform and "democratic" medium-- and all of the recent cases of abuse among users.
