Summary: Tom Brokaw, a special correspondent at NBC news. has come under scrutiny from a former colleague, Linda Vester, after she alleges that Brokaw made unwanted sexual advances toward her in 1993. She claims Brokaw groped her from behind, and later tried to force her to kiss him. Brokaw denies all these allegations.
Position: This relates to the #MeToo movement. Normally, we see a figure come under fire for sexual misconduct, and they apologize and get fired. However, Tom has done neither of these things, and has even gained support from his current female colleagues. I don't know who to believe at this point.
I think there should be a bigger check on this case particularly, especially since his present female colleagues haven't seen anything similar. I too, am curious about this case.
