ITV is pulling the finale episode of “Viewpoint” after multiple sexual misconduct accusations against star Noel Clarke were published by The Guardian. Well, it’s pulling the finale from the airwaves, at least.
“ITV has a zero tolerance policy to bullying, harassment and victimisation and robust procedures in place to investigate and deal with any complaints,” the British broadcaster said in a statement on Friday. “We strongly believe that everyone deserves to work in a supportive and safe environment.”
The Los Angeles Times on how Biden agenda makes up for decades of federal neglect:
Three times already in his brief tenure, President Biden has rolled out a far-reaching and extraordinarily expensive proposal to address large-scale problems in this country. First there was a $1.9-trillion plan to help individuals and businesses cope with the surging COVID-19 pandemic. Then there was a $2-trillion blueprint to build and repair American infrastructure, defined in unusually broad terms. Now comes a $1.8-trillion boost to programs that help American families, particularly those with low and moderate incomes.
