How Can NBC Claim Not to Have Known About Matt Lauer?

[Weatherman2020]

Heads in management should be rolling too. Watching the media hollow itself out is one of the many delights of the Trump Administration. So much winning!

According to the Variety report, several women “complained to executives at the network about Lauer’s behavior, which fell on deaf ears given the lucrative advertising surrounding Today.” In the words of another former NBC reporter, “Management sucks there. They protected the shit out of Matt Lauer.”

His bosses were also likely aware of the button he had under his desk that automatically locked his office door, a feature that the late Roger Ailes also had installed for himself at Fox News. Apparently that did not set off any alarm bells. Nor did his history of creepy comments to and about women on air.

Yet even after the Variety story broke, NBC News released a statement that read, “We can say unequivocally, that, prior to Monday night, current NBC News management was never made aware of any complaints about Matt Lauer’s conduct.” As of Wednesday afternoon, NBC had received two additional complaints from women against Lauer.

Ignoring bad news or impending doom is human nature.

Look at all the ignoring Penn State did over the Sandusky thing. They hoped it would just blow over.

This far side cartoon also shows the other method, seeing an issue and thinking its no big deal.

Hey, guy, after the dust is settled, Trump will still be an illegitimate president, and the media will still hate him. And eventually, you can't have all these other people fired for minor offenses and have the guy who bragged about "Grab em by the pussy" get off Scott Free.

So what did you win, exactly?

Probably not. Reality. He was the guy who brought in millions in advertising revenue and she was the girl who got the coffee. Welcome to big business.

Normally you guys don't have a problem with it, unless its someone you don't like.

don't excuse them for this. Luaer has been a long term problem, and they have 10 year old video of him being an a55h0le to his co hosts. he should have been fired then.

He had a button under his desk that locked the door? Fucking genius.

The reactions are ALL about the almighty dollar.
Fox kept paying out enormous amounts of money to save their cash cow O'Reilly.
Minnesota Public Radio is so afraid of losing the $$ from a single endowment that they fired Keillor for apparently accidentally touching a woman's BACK under her shirt, one time there was a complaint in all the decades he did Prairie Home Companion, for which he apologized.
It's all about $$, not worrying about the women. Now that public opinion is shifting, business will, too, but only because they're worried about advertisers.

That’s the kicker. They spend big bucks on a boob job, expose it all in low cut tops, then get you fired because you complimented her boobs.

I don’t know the details. Fill is in on how many said they knew for years O Reilly was a sex fiend.

Yep, and when the possible payouts became larger then the revenue he could generate.........
