NBC

NBC appears in the account as one of two major outlets, alongside The New York Times, that had investigated allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Its significance here is as part of a broader, parallel reporting effort—and as a point of comparison invoked during the Times’s final effort to obtain a response from Weinstein.

Parallel Investigations

In an email to Dean Baquet, attorney David Boies wrote that three major publishers or broadcasters, including the Times, had researched the story over several months and, as far as he could tell, had considered the same allegations and evidence. The passage identifies NBC and The New Yorker as the other two outlets. It does not provide NBC’s own account of its reporting or establish how closely its work resembled the Times’s investigation.

Publication and Response

Boies said that one of the other two outlets had decided not to publish, while the other intended to review the charges thoroughly with Weinstein and give him adequate time to respond before publication. He urged the Times to do likewise. The account does not specify which description applied to NBC and which to The New Yorker, so neither outcome can be attributed to NBC on the evidence presented.

Limits of the Record

NBC’s role is documented through Boies’s characterization of the other outlets, not through a direct statement from NBC. The passage therefore establishes that NBC was among the organizations investigating the allegations, while leaving its publication decision and response process unresolved.
