Mark Halperin was a conservative news reporter who worked for ABC, Bloomberg, MSNBC, NBC, and PBS. He now works for NewsMax, a newish news channel founded for people who think FOX is too liberal. His journey from legitimate, legacy media to fact-adverse NewsMax is the result of being accused of sexual harassment and forcible touching by over a dozen women.
In 2017, five women came forward making allegations of sexual harassment and forced touching, with Halperin pressing his genitals against them. This prompted other women to come forward. Allegations of serious sexual misconduct included soliciting sex from coworkers, feeling up women’s breasts, forcible kissing and rubbing his erection against women he worked with. He was fired. Friends in the media tried to get him rehabilitated after he apologized, but his self-pity did not help him.
