“NBC will only offer their own counsel which cleared Matt Lauer.” More accurately, their own counsel cleared the upper management who should’ve been aware of Lauer’s antics. And who conveniently have no record or recollection of Ann Curry’s alleged report of another female employee who told Curry about Lauer’s abuse.
But still, that minor clarification wouldn’t make another internal investigation look any more transparent than the last one did(n’t).

Variety<http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/tom-brokaw-nbc-news-internal-investigation-1202805155/> (link) Something is seriously out of whack at NBC News. Vester's attorney asked for outside counsel to conduct the investigation (which Fox News did) to ensure people that the investigation would be fair and NBC will only offer their own counsel which cleared Matt Lauer. I have no idea what result NBC News is expecting. Then here is what Paul Harris blogged yesterday: I completely agree with Joe Adalian, TV reporter and Vulture editor, who tweeted<https://twitter.com/TVMoJoe/status/993630611985199105>: “That Andy Lack had no use for Ronan Farrow but spent tens of millions on Megyn Kelly is an indictment of both Lack’s judgement and the generally misplaced priorities of cable news.” He’s referring to Lack, the head of NBC News, refusing last year to run Farrow’s story — later picked up by The New Yorker, where it won a Pulitzer Prize — uncovering the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault allegations. Last night, it was a piece Farrow worked on that led to the so-quick resignation of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman over similar charges by four women. That’s the kind of journalism you’d think NBC would want to keep in-house (Farrow was an MSNBC host at one point, then stayed on after losing the show as a reporter until going somewhere that valued true journalism). Instead, Lack lured Megyn Kelly away from Fox News Channel for way too much money to become a drain on the ratings in the third hour of the “Today” show. Misplaced priorities, indeed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
