The most revealing thing about Boston Globe editor Brian McGrory's memo last night to staffers isn't that he and accuser Hilary Sargent used to date. It isn't even that he can't remember sending her a suggestive text message. (Which he doesn't deny doing.)
It's the tenor of his defense against Sargent's accusation of sexual harassment.
The editor of The Boston Globe can't remember sending a text message to a former female staff member asking "What do you generally wear when you write?" but he doesn't deny it.
The Boston Globe is investigating the incident, after the former staff member posted a text message exchange with Brian McGrory on Twitter and described it as an example of sexual harassment.
