[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why did NBC pass on the Ronan story originally?

[quote]Seems as if it is still a mystery.  Funny how this story fell off the front page pretty quickly.

What happened at NBC is a media world mystery. Did the network's executives not have the stomach for the inevitable legal threats? Were they trying to protect relationships in Hollywood? Did they simply believe that the complicated story was better suited to a long-form or print format? Or were there other reasons?

The sources who spoke with CNN on condition of anonymity said they don't know exactly why.
But there is frustration and embarrassment inside NBC News about missing out on the story.
The official explanation, from the news division's president Noah Oppenheim, is that "we didn't feel that we had all the elements that we needed to air it," so Farrow "took it to The New Yorker and did a ton more extraordinary work."
But some staffers aren't buying that. And they're wondering why Farrow's taped interviews with accusers aren't being broadcast now.[/quote]
