DKW 86 8,222 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 https://www.thedailybeast.com/again-and-again-accused-sexual-harassers-kept-their-jobs-under-nbc-news-chief-andy-lack I wont post the whole thing here, but...the record of protecting the harassers is flat there. There is no doubt. The continued, even to this day, flat denial that any of this happened at NBC is just ludicrous. It is just about every person associated with Andrew Lack. He is/was friends with every one of the high profile harassers. His pattern well known. He covered up for egregious behavior and continues to do so up until he was fired. NBC, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, continues to deny deny deny. NBC seems to be totally tone deaf on this even now. Its a longish read, but well worth it. If you think that things are really that different in media today, you are flat wrong. The only conclusion you can come to is that until there is overwhelming evidence, EVIDENCE NEVER GATHERED BY NBC, they refuse to admit there might even be a problem. They have torched great careers so as to protect the harassers. They have bullied everyone trying to get the story out. From Ronan Farrow to Megyn Kelly the pattern is always the same: kill the reporting if you can, suppress the reporting if that fails, deny everything when it comes out, begrudgingly acknowledge whatever comes out as facts. A lot of this happened while NBC Universal was owned by GE. I find that not that hard to believe. Lauer and his sex toy bag. Seems he kept it at the office and even gave some pout to colleagues as presents.

AUDub 12,283 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Have I mentioned how much I love Ronan Farrow lately? He exemplifies what journalism is supposed to be and is now the most feared journalist of this generation.

AUDub 12,283 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Ton of scoops in this one, but this one stood out to me. NBC sent an accused sexual harasser to review Farrow’s reporting. Then NBC paid the accuser nearly $1 million for her silence. What a world.
