Linda Vester had a reputation for covering tough stories. As a war correspondent for NBC News in the ’90s, she spent three tours of duty in the Middle East and took two assignments in Africa.
But as it turned out, her biggest battle at work wasn’t in the field. She says it was as a victim of sexual harassment by Tom Brokaw, the legendary newsman who manned the anchor desk for “NBC Nightly News” for 22 years and hosted “Today” and “Meet the Press.”
In a series of interviews with Variety conducted over several months, Vester alleged that Brokaw physically tried to force her to kiss him on two separate occasions, groped her in a NBC conference room and showed up at her hotel room uninvited. Two friends who Vester told at the time corroborated her story with Variety, and she shared her journal entries from the time period. Brokaw, who has been married to Meredith Auld since 1962, has never before been publicly accused of sexual harassment.

More schadenfreude.
Oh this rich. The aging Mr. Brokaw lectures everyone about everything and now this. I am sorry for the woman, but have no sympathy for the arrogant Mr. Brokaw.
Family Guy cutaway with gang of Brokaws come to mind.
To quote Pandering White Boy Tom on Election Night, 2008:
TAKE THAT !!
Round and round, what goes around comes around
Say what?
I didn’t think anything else would surprise me.
Of course, this is only an accusation. Right?

Just couldn’t keep his paws off of Lester Holt?
Uh oh. queue the Jaws theme.
Could not have happened to a nicer douche bag..gonna need a bigger bag of popcorn
I am not buying these “he tried to kiss me” stories- AND so what, he showed up at her hotel- He was interested in her and/or thought they were friends enough that he could show up.
Did he try to force his way in and rape her and then tell her she “better put some ice on that”?
BTTT
She waits 25 years to drop the hammer?
Not a Brokaw fan but there should be a statute of limitations on this stuff.
I keep wondering who’s next. Tom Hanks?
What’s good for the goose. If they got Cosby, I say, let’s get ‘em all.
Another bullying would-be rapist monster soon to be denounced full-throatedly on the Morning Joe set.
NOT.
As it happens the great world talking head won’t be harassing anyone, by word or deed, much longer.
He is close enough to death, such is the talk, that his Montana ranch is up for sale, at a trifling $17 mill.
I reckon the accuser had to get her name in the hat while he’s alive...you can’t sue a dead man, can you?
I'm just wondering how you prove you didn't do something 25 years ago in this MeToo witchhunt.
The sanctimonious liberal Brokaw aside...
I can't stand the claims of 'he made me feel uncomfortable'.
But the left opened this can of worms so we might as well strike while the iron is hot.
It may make a few reporters tone down their reporting of salacious stories about Trump and his alleged inappropriate manhandling of women.
Hold them to their own standards and they might back off.
