The producer who worked alongside Ronan Farrow at NBC News on his Harvey Weinstein investigation quit in protest earlier this month.
Rich McHugh tendered his resignation on Friday, Aug. 17, a year to the day that the Weinstein story left with Farrow. Since then, Farrow has won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles that revealed allegations of sexual harassment and assault—and questions have lingered about why the network gave up on the story that helped launch the #MeToo movement.
NBC News has long insisted the Weinstein exposé wasn’t ready to run on air or online, contrary to Farrow’s claims that it was. Farrow’s story, which ultimately ran in The New Yorker, was part of a series that ultimately won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, earned him in the prestigious George Polk Award for National Reporting, and garnered near-universal praise from his colleagues.
The Daily Beast has uncovered new details of how the process went awry, including alleged threats from NBC, back-biting inside the network about who was truly responsible, and a previously unreported ultimatum by Weinstein’s attorneys.

I think it is rather funny that to move attention away from pedogate, the Hillary gang coughed up one of their own and sacrificed him to the altar of alinsky-righteousness.
The people making the threats should have their names published If they harm Ronan, they will have 1,00’s hunting them. They will probably have only days left for their lives.
-Hillary Clinton, et al.
Ronan Sinatra jr. get a Pulitzer, but Sarah Carter gets nothing? Unreal.
It’s good to see one liberal not liking what was happening and being willing to report it.
The Hillary gang coughed up Pervy Weinstein to sway the media lights away from her activities. And it worked.
At what point does an otherwise legal conspiracy become a crime?
When the conspirators profit from it, or obstruct justice. Or, when they threaten the livelihood of a victim.
He certainly does look a lot like Frank.
“NBC News has long insisted the Weinstein exposé wasn’t ready to run on air or online, contrary to Farrow’s claims that it was.”
Right. They just had to get a few more details checked, then they were going to run with it.
Like Lisa Myers report on Juanita Broaddrick.

What’s going on at @CNN is happening, to different degrees, at other networks - with @NBCNews being the worst. The good news is that Andy Lack(y) is about to be fired(?) for incompetence, and much worse. When Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia, they were hurt badly!

Hope former employee(s) are singing.
Once again, the libs are dictating what is news and what is to be covered up.
falsifying and covering up new ...
I wouldnt want to be one of these leftists when it all finally is done and the sane public finally decides its better off without people who lie as easily as they breath

Gotta say, Mr. Farrow is one Leftist I have to respect for having the courage of his convictions.
A coin that had its center removed and replaced
with a cheaper metal (making it worth less than
it’s face value)
