And making waves - from the Washington Examiner:
NBC’s culture of corruption and sexual abuse may be even worse than anyone thought
Shockingly, NBC's investigation of NBC showing there is no evidence of a “culture of sexual harassment” at NBC may not have been so thorough as the network would have you believe.
MSNBC president Phil Griffin, for example, grew so comfortable in whatever culture produced disgraced former host Matt Lauer that he once touted photos of NBC star Maria Menounos’ vagina during a meeting with colleagues, according to journalist Ronan Farrow.
Farrow reports in his forthcoming book, Catch & Kill:
Four colleagues said Griffin was known for making lewd or crass remarks in work emails. In one meeting I'd be in after the television personality Maria Menounos's vagina had been photographed in a bathing suit wardrobe malfunction, Griffin waved around a printed page bearing a zoomed-in image, smirking.
"Would you look at that? Not bad, not bad," Griffin reportedly remarked.
Remember: This is the president of a major cable news network. He reportedly said this of an NBC employee's vagina in a meeting with other NBC employees. That Griffin apparently felt comfortable enough to do something like this in front of colleagues should tell you a little something about how Lauer was able to get away with his alleged sexual depredations for as long as he did.
Got the book on hold at the library - I have read his other stuff and really like it. He is liberal but is not afraid to tell the whole story and is an excellent researcher.
