NBC News chief Andrew Lack — once accused of mishandling sexual harassment complaints at the Peacock Network — preyed on female underlings and pursued sexual relationships with them, according to one of his alleged victims.

Lack’s alleged behavior is detailed in Ronan Farrow’s upcoming book, “Catch and Kill” — an excerpt of which was obtained Wednesday by The Post.

In it, Jane Wallace, an anchor on CBS’s “West 57th” news show when Lack was an executive producer in the late 1980s, discussed her affair with the then-married news man.

Lack, 72, a close friend of ousted “Today” show anchor Matt Lauer who oversaw his 2017 termination, was “almost unrelenting” in asking Wallace out to dinner “every day for almost a month,” saying he wanted to celebrate her contract, according to the book.

“If your boss does that, what are you gonna say?” Wallace told Farrow. “You know if you say ‘I don’t want to celebrate with you,’ you’re asking for trouble.”

She said their sexual relationship was “ultimately consensual, but I didn’t just get flirted with. I got worked over.”

Eventually, Wallace claimed Lack bullied her out of the job she loved — and lorded his power over her — when their relationship soured. MORE AT LINK

This link works for me. Not sure why the link at the top of the post is dead:

In the preview before you post a thread it allows you to test your links. My advice is to test all your links before posting threads. Then this would never happen.

That works for posts but not when posting a thread.

When I preview a new thread, the body of the content is previewed, but not the header information including the link.

The mystery of the other whistleblower

The Ukraine whistleblower has turned Washington upside down, but the information dished by the Democrats’ other whistleblower — the one at the IRS — remains a mystery.

Democrats, who disclosed the existence of the whistleblower as part of their lawsuit seeking President Donald Trump’s tax returns, have been vague about what the person is alleging, beyond that someone in the administration may have tried to interfere with an audit of either Trump’s or Vice President Mike Pence’s tax return. Those audits are automatic for sitting presidents and vice presidents.

In a court filing, Democrats said they were first approached in July by a federal employee “setting forth credible allegations of ‘evidence of possible misconduct’ — specifically, potential 'inappropriate efforts to influence' the mandatory audit program.” They did not offer additional details, though lawyers for the House said they could tell the judge more in private.

The Washington Post reported that in his complaint, the whistleblower said he was told that at least one Treasury official had attempted to improperly influence the IRS examination. The person declined to discuss specifics in an interview with the Post.

I’ve always been able to check the links before posting threads... Yes threads. Try it.

[ransomnote]

If the links are embedded in the body of the post, I can check them. However this post did not have links in the body; when I preview threads the title and date etc. fields are not visible and cannot be “tested.” Only the body of the post itself.

I knew her very well.

Yeah, off the charts smart woman, and ballsy. Very surprised she got caught up in this.

Perhaps her ego got in the way.

Sad.

If you use an href you can test them, sure. But if you include your source url in the source box then you can click on that and see if it is a good link. That’s what I’m talking about. If you didn’t put the url in the source box then you didn’t include a link to your source page so there would be nothing to test.

I always include my source link unless it’s a rare personal vanity.

The hits just keep coming! Corrupt NBC.

Well well well if it isn’t Meredith Vieira. Same women that worked with Matt Laurer and knew nothing saw nothing.
I wonder who she slept with at the different networks.
Her career went up and Jane Wallace went no where..

These things are not secret inside the world of the elites. In 2017 When Lauer was forced out Trump tweeted: “Check out Andy Lack’s past!”

He also said
“So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the ‘unsolved mystery’ that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!”

I find Lack and his cohorts lacking.

My recollection is that Connie Chung joined, then got the whole show to herself, then she said she wanted to have a baby, then the show was cancelled.
