Re: Media Bias
Accusations? Lauer was fired on facts G-1. Everyone wants to know the story, but NBC is currently deleting emails and shredding documents...cause they don't want the story out.

Put your thinking cap on...this statement is extremely poorly worded...16 year old written...lol specifically worded for one thing. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/29/b...att-lauer.html Now go to the comment section and read the sexual harrassment apologists for lauer and nbc. The hypocrisy in the liberal media frightening. update: Here comes the trickle G-1: According to a handful of journalists on Twitter, multiple outlets had been working on exposing Lauer's behavior for months. Elizabeth Wagmeister of Variety, Yashar Ali of HuffPost and the New York Times were all reportedly working on exposés that would've ultimately shed light on the former "Today" anchor's past. And, Ali alleges, "some top executives at NBC were aware of these stories." "I, and other reporters, have been aware of several women who have come forward privately in the past few months," he continued. "Even before Weinstein. They weren't willing to go public though...they were terrified of Matt. Matt Lauer put the fear of God into these women. He had relationships with reporters outside NBC that he cultivated just for this purpose. They knew that." "Lauer is among the worst I've heard about," Ali added. "Not in terms of the kind of misconduct but the way in which he manipulated these women into silence. It's evil, frightening stuff." everyone fucking knew...

Chickens are coming home to roost now....the apologists are out in full force now with Lauer. Amazing to see hypocrisy.

Re: Media Bias
Kinda of a metaphor of the reaction from the higher ups...don’t think they are actually doing this, but certainly not out of question.

Yes, I'm sure it will come out that he harassed multiple women, and this was NBC doing a pre-emptive strike. But for now all we have is one accuser, which NBC took seriously enough to do something about.

Mooby...they all fucking knew. But yeah, they are trying to get out in front of the story with the firing...”once we knew we fired him” That is leading narrative to the idiots who can say “see nbc is doing the right thing.” You actually believe that bullshit? Pssshhhhhhh Come one dude...

Re: Media Bias
Chico I hate arguing with you because you say things like "they all knew" which is just a black and white statement as opposed to going a bit deeper.
If you are someone who works at NBC and you rank below Matt Lauer, you probably heard the rumors or experienced it firsthand. If you knew the rumors, what are you going to do, put your career at jeopardy for trying to expose a wrong? According to the reports, some of the women who experienced this behavior firsthand went to management who looked the other way because Lauer was a cash cow. So, TL;DR: If you rank below Matt Lauer, probably not much you can do. If you rank above Matt Lauer, you are also despicable for enabling this to happen in favor of the almighty dollar. Obviously they waited until the last minute to fire Lauer because they knew the report was about to break. Your bit about them not wanting the story to come out??? I mean obviously they knew the story was coming out regardless of their personal feelings on it. Try some critical thinking from time to time Chico, because your knee jerk reactions suck.
