Andy Lack: Ronan Farrow’s ‘Catch and Kill’ Paints ‘Fundamentally Untrue’ Picture of NBC News

has fired back at Ronan Farrow’s portrait of the news division in the investigative reporter’s forthcoming book “Catch and Kill,” which details his experiences while chasing the story of sexual assault allegations against disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein.

Following Lauer’s firing, NBCU’s legal team did an exhaustive investigation of available records and conducted dozens of interviews of past and present staff. They uncovered no claims or settlements associated with allegations of inappropriate conduct by Lauer before he was fired. Only following his termination did NBCU reach agreements with two women who had come forward for the very first time, and those women have always been free to share their stories about Lauer with anyone they choose.

In the past two years we have taken significant steps to improve our culture and ensure we have a workplace where everyone feels safe and respected, as well as protected in raising claims. Since then, we’ve required all NBC News employees to complete in-person workplace behavior trainings and we’ve significantly increased awareness of the ways employees can report concerns – anonymously or otherwise.

As you know, our news organization is filled with dedicated, professional journalists, including some of the best and most experienced investigative reporters, as well as others who support our reporting with exceptional talent, integrity and decency. It disappoints me to say that even with passage of time, Farrow’s account has become neither more accurate, nor more respectful of the dedicated colleagues he worked with here at NBC News.

Sayonara Andy.

Unfortunately, NBCNews has a habit of refusing to cover the news and/or just making it up

Remember how the Washington Post broke the NBC Access Hollywood video, because these assholes were holding onto it?

Yeah fucking right

This gentleman suffers from a Lack of credibility.
