Four Democratic candidates call on DNC to ensure that Comcast conduct independent investigation of NBC News
The letter was organized by the women’s activist group UltraViolet and is their latest attack on the network and its response to claims made againstin 2017. MSNBC is a co-sponsor of the next Democratic debate on Wednesday from the Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.
UltraViolet previously called on the DNC to drop MSNBC as a debate sponsor. But the network is one of only a handful of media outlets with the resources to stage an event as big as a debate. The DNC already has announced that it will not select Fox News as a debate sponsor. A spokeswoman for NBCUniversal, Hilary Smith, declined comment. She previously has said that they have “swiftly taken appropriate actions to address the situation and improve workplace culture.” She also said that they conducted a corporate investigation done “by an almost entirely female team, none of who are part of the news division.” The DNC also declined to comment.
