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.

My world! ‘Tis Rocked!
“NBC’s support of the Me Too Movement is blowing up in NBC’s face.”
I can’t write what I’m thinking, but it’s damn funny.
Brokaw was a biased anchor, but I don’t believe her.
Perverts hang together. see #14 photo as well. They all know each other.

I’ve always liked the sound of “Tom Blowchow”, I don’t remember who first called him that.
#Metoo are the victims of Feminism. I can’t imagine the ones who were TRULY sexually violated. The “code” was to be silent, accept the assault if one wants to stay in a position/move up and that’s the way it is. It worked both ways so some of this is really murky. Many have gotten to high places using sex as the resume enhancer. I do not want to see men turn into Pajama Boys, but the Macho Male predator’s days need to be over and women need to realize feminism is not about equality.
Are you familiar with the term “statute of limitations”? If not, you might want to look it up. Her chance to sue has long passed, so I highly doubt money is the issue. I believe she’s married to a wealthy man who’s father was baseball player Hank Greenberg.
And even if she did sue I wouldn’t blame her.
.....whose father. Bad typo.
I always liked and was impressed by Linda Vester. She was on Fox for several years, then as I recall, had a couple of children and decided to stay home to raise them.
I remember Linda Vaster from Fox News years ago. She had a show with a studio audience at about 200pm IIRC. https://youtu.be/BQRSEC2GV5Y
Another "Morning Joe' perv... throw him in the dustbin...
I hope that he loses his tv gigs.
So now in the World’s Only Superpower all a woman has to do is J’accuse...no matter how remote the alleged deed...and a man’s career and life are over? No statute of limitations. Sounds like a perfect weapon for democrats/feminists to use against selected targets and pick up a few bucks as s bonus.
25 years ago? Sit down and shut up, Linda.
“Jesus, now we have to worry about stuff that went on in high school 60 years ago?”
Depends..... what did you do?
The POINT is it was “the workplace” YUGELY important distinction.
He had POWER over her and tried to use that power for his own sexual pleasure.
SCUMBAG!
