NBC Renews Contract of News President and Suspected Lauer-Enabler/Weinstein-Protector Noah Oppenheim
But now NBC has essentially blessed the cover-up, by giving a fat new contract to the NBC News President Noah Oppenhem, who has been "credibly alleged" to have been the growth medium for NBC's rape culture.
Rachel Maddow said that she and her staff have "independently confirmed" that NBC News executives told Ronan Farrow to put a "pause in any new reporting" on Harvey Weinstein, backing up a claim he makes in his new book Catch and Kill. Maddow devoted her monologue on her MSNBC show on Friday to Farrow’s book, before he joined her as one of her guests. "We have independently confirmed that NBC News did that," Maddow told viewers. "That that did happen. He was told to pause his reporting." ... She also addressed another one of Farrow's claims -- that "there was a pattern at the company in terms of women making allegations against Matt Lauer and of being paid off and signing away their rights to speak about it, all before he was fired." She said that while NBC News denies this, "as we can tell, there has never been an independent investigation of that."
NBC News president Noah Oppenheim’s contract was reportedly renewed by the Peacock Network despite an onslaught of negative attention surrounding Ronan Farrow's "Catch and Kill," which paints Oppenheim as a key figure in NBC's decision not to run his expose on Harvey Weinstein. Farrow's former NBC News producer Rich McHugh, who accused Oppenheim and his boss Andy Lack of a "massive breach of journalistic integrity" in a scathing Vanity Fair column earlier this month, slammed the network's parent company for its vote of confidence.
"I take it that no Comcast board member has read Ronan's book or my article. I am sad for all NBC News employees that the status quo has been blessed," McHugh told Fox News. Former NBC News correspondent Linda Vester agreed. "Comcast/NBC Universal is extending the contract of an individual who lied to staff and shareholders when he said they 'have no secrets and nothing to hide.' Not only does it encourage harassment victims to start telling those secrets, it invites a shareholder lawsuit against Comcast," Vester told Fox News. "In my view, shareholders could sue the company for breach of fiduciary duty by using corporate assets to make secret payoffs for personal wrongs. What shareholder would agree to Comcast secretly using their money for coverups?"
... Shaunna Thomas, a co-founder of UltraViolet, a leading national women's organization, recently blasted Oppenheim by name, saying he "failed to hold sexual abusers accountable" and "failed to combat a toxic culture across newsrooms." Now former FoxNews staffers such as Gretchen Carlson want Fox to lift their NDAs, as NBC supposedly did. And there's some question about that-- NBC claims that if you ask to have your NDA lifted as far as sexual harassment, they'll grant it. So far we know of no takers, and NBC can be so limited and so vague in what is being lifted that people would be in fear of lawsuit for saying something that could be argued to not have been cleared. NBC could, for example, claim to lift the NDAs as regards sexual harassment claims -- but then claim that statements about NBC's management covering the claims up or enabling the harassers are in violation of the NDA. I don't think I'd feel comfortable talking without a legal document ending the NDA that was both explicit and expansive, not giving NBC room to quibble what they can and cannot sue over. But anyway, they want Fox to scuttle the NDAs.
Coming in the wake of Rachel Maddow's announcement Friday on her MSNBC show that parent corp. NBCUniversal would allow former staffers to get out of their non-disclosure agreements, at least six former Fox News employees, including Gretchen Carlson, are asking for similar treatment. Carlson was the first woman at Fox to sue Roger Ailes, the former news director at Fox who was forced out by her disclosures. Carlson settled with the company in 2016, and her story is covered in the new film Bombshell. "All women at Fox News and beyond forced to sign NDAs should be released from them immediately, giving them back the voices they deserve," Carlson told Vanity Fair.Well, maybe they should be lifted, but don't play the hero or victim too much as regards the NDA: You signed that in exchange for a bigger chunk of money than you otherwise would have gotten. I kind of hate Fox so I'm kinda keen to see what these women might say. I've got a couple of Fox NeverTrumpers I've got my eye on as far as sloppy-drunk inappropriate-touchers. Tucker Carlson blasted NBC and Noah Oppenheim a week ago:

That's unconscionable. I very much doubt he's been reporting his unauthorized contact with foreign nationals, much less the fact that if that's true, he's working against our country's interests. He needs to have that clearance revoked immediately, and be charged, if that is really true.

OK, I have to ask a question. Whom does a shareholder lawsuit benefit?
(Saying the lawyers who bring it is too obvious, so please don't do that).
Shareholders are owners. There's a whole structure where they elect a Board to oversee things for them, the Board appoints executives to run things, and the shareholders don't have to do anything but put money in the kitty and vote for the board.
Now, let's say the executives fuck up. I think it's pretty clear they did. Haven't looked at the stock price, but the only meaningful fuckup is one that affects shareholder value.
So you own a thing. The guy you elected to run it hired a guy who fucked it up. So you sue IT. The Thing You Own.
So the Thing You Own maybe loses value because it has to pay you out of your own money.
Can somebody 'splain how that makes a lick of sense?

He went to Harvard, where he worked on the Harvard Crimson as Editorial Chair. David Fahrenthold, who also went to Harvard, and worked at the Crimson with Oppenheim, broke the Access Hollywood tape story for the Washington Post.
This, then, from Wikipedia:
The story broke two days before the second of the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign debates between Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Staff at Access Hollywood, owned by NBC, had found the tape earlier in the week, and the show was working on a story but did not plan to run it until the following Monday, the day after the debate. Once Fahrenthold broke the story at the Post, both Access Hollywood and NBC News ran stories the same night.
I wonder who gave Fahrenthold the story?

I'm pretty sure you know, but for those who don't - first, if you don't have ownership, you have no standing to to sue a corp for how it's run. Anyone who wants to sue a corp for how it's been managed has to buy at least 1 share, so they can say they're an "owner", which allows them to file a shareholder's lawsuit.
So if you're an activist with an axe to grind, that's what you do. That's what most shareholder lawsuits are about, and they're mostly bullshit. On the other hand, sometimes you have 51% of the company owned by a group that is stealing the other 49% blind, and it's so bad that they'd just as soon burn the whole thing down as let the 51% continue to rape the company. So those are the other kinds of shareholder lawsuits.

Article 106 of the UCMJ also covers espionage, which contains several other elements unique to the charge. A military member could be convicted of espionage if he or she communicated some information that pertained to national defense in a specific manner to a foreign country, to either the detriment of the U.S., or the benefit of a foreign country.

Cool a "double agent"! Not surprised as bro is very connected with
the banking industry in Ukraine, first with UniCredit, now with his own
Tungsten Capital and with Megabank JSC. These people are amazingly
palsy-walsy with the nation from which they fled for their lives! You
see this with Iranian "refugees" as well.

"While Colonel Vindman's concerns were shared by a number of other officials, some of whom have already testified, he was in a unique position. Because he emigrated from Ukraine along with his family when he was a child and is fluent in Ukrainian and Russian, Ukrainian officials sought advice from him about how to deal with Mr. Giuliani, though they typically communicated in English."
Not sure that lives up to "advising how to counter Trump's foreign policy goals," as advertised. But I still don't like that he was telling them how to "deal" with Guiliani.

Its less than shit - its the running squirts. These people aren't smart enough to pull off a burrito theft at the local seven-eleven at 3 am and we're trying to make this out to be some grand conspiracy suitable for a Mission Impossible episode.

So, I step away from AoS for a while, and get a text from one of the Democrat loving clowns who have been badgering me about Trump being illegitimate since he was elected.
He texts me "You should pay attention to a guy who is testifying later this week, and will BRING DOWN TRUMP! !!
The name was Col. Vindman.
I'm guessing that came from Rachel Maddow.
I just sighed.

And I stop back this afternoon, and I see that Col. Vindman was apparently working against the USA and for Ukraine.

America does not recognize dual citizenship but other countries do. So you can hold a passport from both Italy and the US, for example, but if you want a TS/SCI security clearance with the US you have to give up your Italian citizenship (and passport). I don't know about other clearances but I believe it is the same.

Is he the one who illegally leaked his 'suspicions' to the original 'whistleblower'?
Is that how he got on the Dems radar?
Because if so, he is in a world of shit.
Which could be why they had him testify in uniform, to say he is above reproach, not understanding that he put himself in LEGAL jeopardy under the UCMJ (Article 8.

Congress never recognized dual citizenship under the law, but the Supremes did, even though it was not in their Constitutional purview.
The Oath still says you give up other citizenships, but the State Department says that does not mean anything.
