As NBC faces allegations it engaged in a cover-up of alleged sexual abuse by the former “Today” host Matt Lauer, the MSNBC host Chris Hayes took on the allegations himself during his show Monday night — and sent a powerful message to the executives.
Lauer was fired from the network in disgrace in 2017 after being accused of what NBC called “inappropriate sexual behavior” in the workplace. The investigative journalist Ronan Farrow’s new book, “Catch & Kill,” publicly identifies Lauer’s accuser for the first time as the former MSNBC producer Brooke Nevils.
The book, published Tuesday, also details what Farrow describes as an extensive cover-up by NBC executives to prevent him, while employed at the network, from reporting on allegations of sexual assault against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. More
Is this Chris trying to be a man?
Chris couldn’t be a man even if Rachel Maddow gave him permission.
He’s just pissed because he didn’t get felt-up by the heavies.
Chris only read the lines he was told to read by the Powerful Executives who gave him the script. Just another fake news stunt to create the illusion of independent, high-minded journos unafraid to speak truth to power.
