RONAN FARROW BREAKS HIS SILENCE, RESPONDS TO NBC ALLEGATIONS

Ronan Farrow (second from left) said his estranged father,
Woody Allen, molested his sister Dylan.

Journalist Ronan Farrow is finally providing a more detailed answer to why he took his reporting on Harvey Weinstein away from NBC News.

Farrow hinted when the story was published in The New Yorker last fall that executives at NBC News were less than amenable to publishing the piece. Just last week, former NBC investigative producer Rich McHugh claimed that NBC executives personally ordered him and Farrow to avoid interviewing one of Weinstein’s alleged victims and to stand down on the story altogether.

In response to a long memo sent to staff by NBC News chairman Andy Lack on Monday night, Farrow said that NBC is peddling “false or misleading statements.”

Among the allegations in the letter, Lack states that Farrow had no on-the-record sources willing to accuse Weinstein of misconduct.

“We spent eight months pursuing the story, but at the end of that time, NBC News — like many others before us — still did have a single victim or witness willing to go on record,” Lack wrote.

Farrow disputed that notion, writing, “Their list of sources is incomplete and omits women who were either identified in the NBC story or offered to be.”

He added, “The suggestion to take the story to another outlet was first raised by NBC, not me, and I took them up on it only after it became clear that I was being blocked from further reporting.”

Emily Nestor, a Weinstein accuser, backed up Farrow’s version of events, indicating that her and one other woman were willing to go on-record while the story was still at...

Don’t be fooled! Impeachment ‘will happen’ if Dems take control of the House in November

Vote for every Republican even if you have to hold your nose. Not for them, for us. President Trump will transform America if he is given the chance.

In a creative way to focus on the potential impeachment of President Donald Trump — the lack of high crimes and misdemeanors notwithstanding — NBC anchor Chuck Todd played a clip of the president talking about what he believes will then happen.

To that possibility, Michael Steel, a former aide to then-Speaker John Boehner, stated the obvious in saying if Democrats take control of the House in the midterm elections, impeachment “will happen.”

“So here’s President Trump. He loves talking about impeachment,” a smarmy Todd said before playing the video clip Sunday on “Meet the Press.”

He then asked Steel if impeachment is “a great tool for the Trump base?”

“Impeachment is what will happen if House Democrats win the majority in 2018,” the panelist replied.

NBC Capital Hill reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell chimed in to say that “impeachment will be a hard barrier to come across.”

“We’re talking about impeachment, not conviction,” Steel countered.

Todd jumped in to make a comparison to President Bill Clinton being impeached by the GOP-controlled House in 1998 after being charged with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice during the Monica Lewinsky sexual affair scandal.

“You believe it’s going to be the way the House Republicans acted in the 90s?” Todd asked. “They’re (Democrats) going to do it, no matter what.”

“Absolutely,” Steele answered.

Fellow panelist Cornell Belcher weighed in to agree, saying Democratic Party leaders are “lying” about impeachment not being a policy issue.

“What the leadership is...
