“But for many pastors, the allegations have created a dilemma. They want to denounce what Mr. Moore was accused of doing, but in many cases they want to do so without denouncing Mr. Moore himself.” A couple of NYT reporters went to church in Alabama to examine what has become a quandary for Alabama pastors: What to Say About Roy Moore.

+ WaPo: “The outrage against the Republican Senate candidate from Alabama is entirely fitting, but the terminology is not.” Roy Moore is not a pedophile.

+ NYT White House reporter Glenn Thrush has been put on hiatus pending a review of a Vox story on his history of bad judgment around young women journalists.

+ Jeffrey Tambor may be leaving Transparent after a pair of sexual harassment claims against him.

+ A woman says Al Franken inappropriately touched her while taking a photo in 2010.
