kristin fisher, thank you very much. they are firing back at a major controversy. nbc news is clearly having trouble getting ahead of the story. first there was a bombshell accusation from former nbc news investigator and producer rich mccue who told fox news that back in 2017, the very highest levels of nbc news ordered ronan farrell to stop working on his height harvey weinstein investigation. now nbc news has released an internal report saying the reason the story didn t run is because of ronan farrell had taken sources comments out of context and had misrepresented sources willingness willingness to identify harvey weinstein by name. yet tonight, emily nester, one of the alleged victims is flatly contradicting nbc s internal report saying, farrell and i discussed and i had tentatively offered either to attach my name to the interview and silhouette or potentially even reshoot the
