EXCLUSIVE: Female staffers at NBC News say they "felt forced" to sign a letter supporting Tom Brokaw against sexual harassment allegations https://t.co/BZt04wEMzY

From the New York Post:
One NBC News staffer said, “We felt forced to sign the letter supporting Brokaw. We had no choice, particularly the lower level staffers. The letter was being handed around the office and the unspoken threat was that if your name was not on it, there would be some repercussion down the road. Execs are watching to see who signed and who didn’t. This was all about coming out in force to protect NBC’s golden boy; the network’s reputation is tied to Brokaw . . . If more women come forward, that’s a big problem.”
And:
Another insider said the powerful names on the letter could intimidate other victims. “When you have over 100 women like Andrea Mitchell signing a letter of support without knowing the facts, it’s pretty scary . . . The letter will have a chilling effect on other women coming forward.”
Keep up the great work, NBC:
Yeah NBC is kind of big on making women who work there do things against their will https://t.co/YZKsdUVHet

Time for all news organizations to lift the NDAs of all PAST and present employees …message to news organizations: quit hiding ‘stuff’ (NDAs should be limited to trade secrets like Coca Cola recipe, not to hide bad behavior,undue influence etc.) https://t.co/fZowX4rwYq
