Increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations sparking new procedures, concern…

 

A bombshell lawsuit against the former top producer of Good Morning America has ignited a firestorm behind the scenes, with co-hosts George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts allegedly at each other’s throats over the handling of claims that their former boss sexually assaulted multiple women at the network, four people with knowledge of situation told The Daily Beast.

 

Last week, Kirstyn Crawford, a producer who works closely with Stephanopoulos on the top-rated morning show, filed a lawsuit against Michael Corn, the former senior executive producer of GMA, alleging he sexually assaulted her and cultivated a toxic work environment. Corn has vehemently denied the allegations, and ABC disputed the claims and vowed to fight them in court.

 

GMA staffers discussed the lawsuit on a team-wide call, during which a clearly emotional Roberts declared, “If this happened to someone on my team, I would have burned the place down,” according to multiple people who were present for the meeting.

 

Staffers who heard the remark said it was unsubtly directed at Stephanopoulos, who, according to the lawsuit, had been informed of Crawford’s sexual assault allegations almost four years ago and continued to work with Corn. ABC News employees who spoke with The Daily Beast asked to do so anonymously out of fear of retaliation.

Biden and Congress are setting 'a 5-alarm

fire' by letting federal unemployment benefits expire in a week as Delta surges

 

All federal unemployment benefit programs expire in a week, and Congress isn't renewing them.

Unemployment expert Andrew Stettner says it's a "five-alarm fire."

"Now we're putting people in harm's way. A lot of people will be harmed by this," he said.

Pandemic-era federal unemployment benefits end in exactly a week. The Century Foundation projects that 7.5 million Americans will lose benefits completely - an unprecedented fiscal cliff that will likely drastically impact incomes, spending, and jobless workers' lives.

 

Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow and jobless policy expert at the left-leaning Century Foundation, tweeted that it was a "five-alarm fire."

 

"Most people live paycheck-to-paycheck, and starting next week they're not gonna be able to count on a regular source of income. They're going to be put into harm's way," Stettner told Insider.
