NBCUniversal's latest sex scandal involving ex-CEO Jeff Shell has raised memories of how it mishandled the Matt Lauer fiasco and other similar episodes.
NBC News admits it got the age of a person wrong who it thought was a minor working in a Kansas slaughterhouse.
Lauer was fired shortly afterward for his own sexual misconduct and Lack refused to allow outside counsel to investigate who knew about Lauer’s sexual wrongdoings. Lauer hasInstead of enlisting a white-shoe law firm – as had other news organizations dealing with internal sexual harassment issues – Lack allowed General Counsel Kim Harris to conduct the review.
"I imagine when this woman came forward, they calculated that the misconduct was isolated, and an outside investigation wouldn’t find what it would have found when Lauer’s misconduct was exposed -- NDAs with multiple women spanning years and widespread knowledge and complicity among the executives," McHugh said.
Shell only managed to keep the gig for three years before joining the likes of Lauer, Lack and Meyer as former NBCUniversal honchos. NBC News has also been hit with a series of journalism-related issues, such as retracting Miguel Almaguer’s infamous Paul Pelosi report without explanation and falsely reporting a slaughterhouse employed an underage migrant worker when the man was actually 21 years old.
