WT: NBC has reportedly fired a “Today” show editor for leaking a video of “Last Word” host Lawrence O’Donnell delivering an off-air, expletive-filled tirade directed at his production team.
The now-viral video leaked last month showed Mr. O’Donnell on the set of his MSNBC news show, screaming at production over troubles with his earpiece. He later apologized for the eight-minute tirade, saying “a better anchorman and a better person would’ve had a better reaction to technical difficulties.”
Multiple sources told the New York Post that NBC eventually tracked down a male “Today” show editor who had compiled and leaked the video to Mediaite.
“It turned out to be a ‘Today’ show editor who said he did it because he thought it was funny,” one source said. “But it wasn’t exactly the perfect crime — he left a very clear trail.” more here
Here’s the short version of STOP THE HAMMERING!:
*Warning: Language is spicy*
It was good that those who listen to his tirade see the “real”
Larry O’Donnell , the overbearing, foul mouthed, demanding, unprofessional mouthpiece of the MSNBC leftists.
Although this dipshit is uniquely irksome, I’ve seen the same thing from others in media. This guy does the same thing on air so no big deal.
Once again NBC gets it backwards.
DON’T HAMMER ME BRO!!!
Funny, they always take the side of the leakers, and the story, when the leak is about another organization.
Anyone else remember when ODonnel went of on the swift boat vet calling him a “creepy creepy liar” watch on youtube, its comedy gold.
nbc fires the editor for leaking the o’donnell tape but keeps the editor for spiking the weinstein story ?
who’s side are they on ?
Not my fault you’re gay
After just a month they found and fired the leaker of this tape, a tape that was not protected by legal ramifications.
A year later NBC still has no idea who, *Noah Oppenheim*, leaked the pussy grab tape that did have legal ramifications.
Noah, the same person who killed the Wino pussy grabber story.

It’s who they are, wake up women, this is your war.
Now, cook me up some bacon and some beans.
It’s Hammer time! Or maybe Snickers time, actually.
P.S. – The background on that Washington Post picture:
“The UNICEF Snow Flake Ball”? Seriously?
You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
🙂
organgrinder @ I just watched O’Donnell confront John O’Neill, and more. Thanks for the tip. O’D. is a vicious corksoaker but I never watched him as much as I did this morning. Phew!
I fired the whole damn network, and a few others for good measure
Funny…NBC still hasn’t discovered who leaked the Access Hollywood tape to the Washington Post the night before a Presidential Debate…but they sure fingered the Lawrence O’Donnell leaker pretty darn quick!
So in Bizzaro World:
the abuser stays, and the messenger gets fired.
