Remember Matt Lauer? The media white-washed the firing of him for sexual harassment and gave it as little coverage as it possibly could. Now, it looks like we are on the verge of another epic NBC sexual harassment story. I can’t wait.
The story involves varying allegations against senior NBC News executives, and relates to alleged misconduct from years ago as well as more current allegations against network brass. NBC is scared shitless and refuses to comment.

One source told Mediaite that executives at NBC News are “panicked” by the reporting. NBC News did not provide comment.
The Beast’s reporting comes in a tumultuous year for NBC News. The network was rocked by sexual harassment allegations against star Today show host Matt Lauer, who was fired after a colleague came forward to accuse him of inappropriate behavior. More allegations against the longtime NBC News host followed.
Legendary anchor Tom Brokaw was later accused by two women of having sexually harassed them at NBC News in the 1990s. Brokaw vehemently denied the allegations, was defended by a slew of high profile former and current female NBC colleagues, and has held onto his position at the network.
