Tucker Carlson said NBC News president Noah Oppenheim should resign or be fired immediately for punting on reporting Ronan Farrow’s explosive story on Harvey Weinstein.
Oppenheim said there was good reason to kill the story, and instead added that he provided resources to Farrow who then shopped the story to the New Yorker, according to Carlson.
“Let’s be clear,” Carlson said. “NBC is lying.”
He listed several claims by Oppenheim he said were untrue.
Oppenheim said Farrow was given resources, but it turned out he wasn’t given even a camera crew.
Despite claims Farrow hadn’t completed the bulk of his story when he brought it to NBC executives, Carlson said the story was all but complete when he went to the New Yorker.
Carlson credited MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow with going ahead and interviewing Farrow despite reported warnings against the segment.
“This is a scandal and the truth has a way of emerging,” he said.
He said Oppenheim is also a Hollywood screenwriter with deep ties to the Democratic Party and Hollywood establishments.
