Courage of women

The courage of the women who have come forward to call out the men who have sexually harassed them is undisputed. News media have been consistent in reporting these incidents regularly. But the entertainment industry is another story when it comes to courage:
Consider:
1. SNL gave a lot of sketch time to Roy Moore, but almost none to Louis CK.
2. The entertainment industry’s Governor’s Award mentioned nothing about the sexual harassment scandals and even gave Dustin Hoffman warm applause.
2. Stephen Colbert has skewered politicians mercilessly for sexual misdeeds, but hardly touches Louis CK, Kevin Spacey and others.
To me, this is a cowardly response to the courage of women.
