NBC ‘News’ won’t tune in to the Dems’ sex scandals
What did NBC News know, and when did it know it?
After Harvey Weinstein and Ben Affleck, no one’s looking worse in this Hollywood sex scandal than NBC “News.”
They had the Weinstein story, cold, and first, but they spiked it, to protect their fellow traveler, the gross 300-pound Democrat schlockmeister.
I know, you are “saddened and angry,” as Ben Affleck would put it, by this news.
After all, this is the same very ethical network that has employed, or continues to employ, such extinguished “journalists” as Brian Williams, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Low IQ Mika, Comrade Chris Matthews, F. Chuck Todd, Chelsea Clinton and Joe “Deliverance” Scarborough, as well as the noted fiction writer Mike Barnicle.
When the news breaks, they fix it. If it’s news to you, it’s news to them. The Peacock Network has gone chicken.
NBC News has always had a soft spot for millionaire Democrats accused of rape. Almost 20 years ago, they had the first on-camera interview with Juanita Broaddrick, who credibly accused Bill Clinton of raping her, but that story was spiked on orders of … Brian Williams.
We already knew that Saturday Night Live’s producer Lorne Michaels last weekend gave a pass to his dear friend Weinstein. That’s how corrupt the entertainment side of NBC is. But now it turns out that Ronan Farrow begged NBC “News” to run his expose, which has since been printed by The New Yorker.
NBC is the same outfit that for 11 years sat on Donald Trump’s conversations with Billy Bush, until he became a Republican, after which they used it to try to destroy his candidacy.
As bad as the Times story about Weinstein was, Farrow’s magazine piece was worse. Farrow had NYPD audio of Weinstein admitting to sexually assaulting a 21-year-old Italian model. And he had video of actress Rose McGowan accusing Harvey of raping her.
Imagine that — a bigtime Democratic donor to such moral titans as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards, three members of the Kennedy family and Eliot Spitzer — accused of sexually abusing a woman.
But NBC adamantly refused to run the piece because … well, reread the above paragraph.
In fact, the Huffington Post reported, NBC ordered Ronan Farrow, who was then under contract, to stop reporting the story.
“NBC tried to put a stop to the interview with the woman accusing Weinstein of rape,” the website said. “The network insisted he not use an NBC News crew for the interview, and neither was he to mention his NBC News affiliation.”
Here’s one ex-Weinstein employee, Tina Brown, describing how Harvey always kept corrupt alt-left “journalists” from outing him: “It was startling — and professionally mortifying — to discover how many hacks … were on the Miramax payroll with a ‘consultancy’ or a ‘development deal’ (one even at The New York Times).”
Anyone at NBC News, Tina?
