Tom Brokaw Accuser Linda Vester Calls NBC’s Internal Report on Sexual Harassment ‘Deeply Flawed’

‘Women have contacted me in recent days to say that they did not feel that they could fully speak candidly to the NBC lawyers’

EXCERPT.

VESTER: "I think the internal report was deeply flawed. That’s a problem, because women have contacted me in recent days to say that they did not feel that they could fully speak candidly to the NBC lawyers, and others have contacted me to say that they didn’t feel that they were properly interviewed. And when you have an internal investigation, when you’re talking to the lawyers for the company that signs your paycheck, women can’t speak freely and that was the case here. And so what NBC really needs to do is hire outside counsel to properly investigate this. They haven’t done so. CBS has managed to do so with the sexual harassment issues there. NPR, National Public Radio, did the same thing to signal transparency and willingness. Fox News Channel brought in counsel as well. And that shows a transparency and willingness to address problems with sexual misconduct. I don’t understand why NBC isn’t doing it but I think it can and it should."
