The Left says corporate America should be cleaning its own house when it comes to sexual misconduct
Who knew that capitalism was the answer to fixing bad behavior. A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the Left:
1. NBC Didn't Fire Matt Lauer. We Did.
From the New York Times: You can thank capitalism for Lauer’s downfall. But you shouldn’t have to.
At @Variety, @RaminSetoodeh & I had been working on a Matt Lauer story for months and NBC was aware. There are multiple women we've spoken to with far-ranging accusations against Lauer. The power of journalism has never been more evident with this cultural change.

2. It shouldn't take an impending exposé to topple the Matt Lauers of corporate America
From The Los Angeles Times: Businesses (and politics) need to take complaints of sexual misconduct seriously.
Matt Lauer has apologized, a day after NBC announced his termination: "There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused." Full statement: https://t.co/ymDSJqjljC pic.twitter.com/pFyZisRpbl

3. Why the Matt Lauer case feels like betrayal
