Warning -- Explicit: Ruling Class Media Have Known All About "Pervy" Matt Lauer

By Rick Pearcey • December 6, 2017, 10:59 AM

Brian Flood reports at Fox News:

Embattled NBC executives have been falling over themselves, insisting they had no idea about Matt Lauer's pervy past. But if anyone doubts that New York's media elite was aware of Lauer's reputation, they should look no further than a top-secret "roast" of Lauer that took place in October 2008.

The notorious event -- now legendary in New York media circles -- pushed the outer limits of sexist, racist, homophobic and obscene jokes -- and left little doubt that Lauer's colleagues knew NBC's biggest star had a troubled marriage and a wandering eye.

"Last week, NBC's own Joe Scarborough, who attended the roast but said he left early, feeling uncomfortable, brought it up on 'Morning Joe'," Flood reports."Lauer's peccadillos, he said, were not just known about. At the roast, they were celebrated."

"The whole theme was that he does the show and then he has sex with people, with employees," Scarborough is quoted as saying. "So was this whispered behind closed doors? No. It was shouted from the mountaintops and everybody laughed about it."

Flood notes that "memories of the roast must be especially awkward for the various NBC executives now claiming they had no idea about Lauer’s reputation for sex harassment of women."

Lauer was fired "last week for inappropriate sexual behavior," Flood writes, "and in the ensuing days, NBC News' top bosses Andy Lack and his deputy, Noah Oppenheim, have claimed they had no prior knowledge of Lauer's conduct.

"Their denials have raised eyebrows within NBC and out, considering that both executive have deep ties to Lauer going back years."
