“Key Rapegate Facts First Reported by NewsMax.com”

“In a blockbuster Friday morning report by investigative pit bull Dorothy Rabinowitz, the Wall Street Journal has confirmed key facts first reported exclusively by Inside Cover three weeks earlier.

Our report was based, we said then, on an interview “with a source who was present during the entire time NBC grilled Broaddrick.” Inside Cover can now reveal that the source was Juanita Broaddrick herself, who described her NBC ordeal to NewsMax.com’s Carl Limbacher on Jan. 26.

Broaddrick was then unwilling to be quoted on the record and Inside Cover kept her confidence.

On Jan. 29, based on what Broaddrick told Limbacher, Inside Cover was able to report exclusively:

• That Broaddrick’s interview with NBC’s Lisa Myers had taken place nine days earlier (Jan. 20); a fact which no other journalist had reported correctly until today’s Journal account.
• That Broaddrick had been told by NBC that her interview was tentatively scheduled to run on “Dateline” on Jan. 29, just three days after her conversation with Limbacher.
• That NBC’s cameras rolled for eight hours, giving Myers and her “Dateline” crew five hours worth of usable videotape.
• That Broaddrick and her family were subjected to an extensive backround check by NBC investigators, who deemed her “sqeaky clean”.
• That NBC had obtained the crucial account of key corroborating witness nurse Norma Rogers-Kelsay.
• And most importantly, that the first hint for Broaddrick that NBC had come down with the jitters came from Lisa Myers herself, who told Broaddrick on Jan. 26: “The good news is, you’re credible. The bad news is, you’re very, very credible.”The outrageous Myers quote left Broaddrick stunned, and she repeated it over and over to both Rabinowitz and Limbacher. The comment indicates that NBC’s Rapegate cover-up was in full swing a mere six days after Myers had landed the most important story of her career.
