2. Most damning for NBC

Hayes lays out very directly that within a couple of months of leaving NBC, Ronan Farrow had his Pulitzer winning story published in the New Yorker. Where NBC couldn't feature the sourcing on Farrow's story, the New Yorker was willing to publish scant weeks later. For a story this big, going with the story on that short a timeline (and winning a major journalistic award) indicates that Farrow's story was ready to air, but NBC shied away for some reason (fear of crossing Weinstein?).

Not sure this is the hill I want Hayes to "die on", but I applaud his integrity/courage hlthe2b Oct 2019 #1
