Vaguely defensible ambiguity
Whether Farrow's mode of transport was Uber, a Yellow Cab or the subway, the road to ultimate public relations ignominy for NBC likely included 'vaguely defensible ambiguity'.
"How Did NBC Miss Out on a Harvey Weinstein Exposé?" asks The New York Times. "Why did NBC News let the Weinstein blockbuster get away? Once again, questions mount," was The Washington Post's 'thrust'.
Source: Should NBC News be cut any slack forpassing on the Harvey Weinstein story?

Hi The question that the article deals with is why NBC did not use Farrow's news story about Weinstein. NBC would say that, at the time they saw Farrow's work on the story, it was not clear and lacked evidence: NBC had a sense of ambiguity about it; they were not sure that it was a reportable story. Is that a good enough reason?
