Media repeatedly killed Weinstein story
Ronan Farrow demonstrates the power of indifference to attempted intimidation:
Ronan Farrow told Rachel Maddow on Tuesday that he was threatened personally with a lawsuit by Harvey Weinstein while reporting on what turned out to be a New Yorker feature.I expect we can understand why the son of Mia Farrow is not going to be put off by an influential Hollywood figure prone to sexual misbehavior. And it's not hard to understand how Weinstein managed to force less determined reporters off his trail. That being said, the utter cowardice of the media demonstrates, again, that they are not watch dogs, but the lap dogs of the Left.
"In the course of this reporting, I was threatened with a lawsuit personally by Mr. Weinstein," Farrow said on MSNBC. In anticipation of the story, Weinstein had enlisted a crisis management team and several attorneys, including lawyer Lisa Bloom, who resigned from the film mogul's team on Saturday.
When Maddow asked why Farrow's feature ended up at The New Yorker rather than at NBC, where he is employed as a correspondent, he replied, "You would have to ask NBC and NBC executives about the details. I'm not going to comment on any news organization's story that they did or did not run."
He added: "I will say that over many years, many news organizations have circled this story and faced a great deal of pressure in doing so."
Farrow had said that he worked for 10 months to investigate claims of harassment and assault against Weinstein. His report, published Tuesday in The New Yorker, included on-the-record recollections by actress Asia Argento and model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez. It included audio of Weinstein admitting to groping Gutierrez.
"I walked into the door at The New Yorker with an explosively reportable piece that should have been public earlier, and immediately, obviously, The New Yorker recognized that, and it is not accurate to say that it was not reportable. In fact, there were multiple determinations that it was reportable at NBC," Farrow recalled.

Well at least he wasn't "suicided" like if he were to investigate the lizard queen
This is an example of how the left takes care of its own at the expense of ordinary Americans. NBC killing a story about a sexual predator in Hollywood doesn't surprise me at all.
The Left's censorship of news is an insidious abuse of free speech.
The Leftist media are Satan's bitches.
NBC has story, it goes to another outlet. NBC News' boss worked for Harvey for a number of years. I still can't shake that circumstantial evidence around connecting to the Trump Tape. Almost as if there are forces hyper focused on turning the Media's more rabid members on themselves.
There's a lot going on in the background.
Weinstein has left the USA because if he sings in the land of Arkencide...
Wonder what Woody Allen thinks of all this....Woody managed to skate from Ronan's probably well founded accusations of pedophilia thanks to his friends in the media, but they could be revived...
My question is, the beginning of Deadpool, joke or description?
If Weinstein is the pattern, the casting couch Wolverine had is reflected in the way Tinseltown makes decisions.
This is an opportunity,for men do not think straight when inflamed by any desire.
As our leader noted in SJWADD, time to short some stocks.
Will he move to France, Brazil, or Israel? New Zealand has an extradition treaty with the USA.
Francis The Pope. Are you new here?
You're banned for lying, Francis the Pope. Don't come back.
Anybody who reads the gossip sites has known this stuff about Weinstein for years, so it must have been common knowledge in Hollywood. Weinstein has ruined plenty of young lives. Keep digging into this story and you will find it gets a lot worse. He is far from the only one.
I think what is required is a fair, confirmable method of protecting oneself from these incidents. If one is 'fragile' when dealing with potential blackmail, false allegations etc, there needs to be clear procedures for preventing this.
We have an unwritten understanding about, for example, in the workplace one shouldn't be alone in a room with a female, should guard his speak etc.
But I get the feeling there is resistance to this for a couple reasons: moving the goalposts, and the power of the feminist/left to prevent this from happening.
Lindsey Lohan going to bat for Weinstein. Sounds like a sort of Stockholm syndrome. He was most likely her handler.
I expect we can understand why the son of Mia Farrow is not going to be put off by an influential Hollywood figure prone to sexual misbehavior.
Keep in mind that he is likely also Frank Sinatra's biological son. Explains why he doesn't scare easily.
@pyrrhus: Woody Allen is the creep who actually did what all the other creeps are thinking about doing, and they all admire him for it.
The Hollywood left were making jokes about it publicly. Some comedian at the Oscars announced the female nominees and joked that they would no longer have to pretend to be sexually attracted to Weinstein back in 2013. And a bit in 30 Rock had an actress state she had refused to have sex with him 3 times out of 5. Apparently the casting couch was just funny.
In news that will surprise absolutely no one: Harvey Weinstein Entering Treatment Facility for Sex Addiction.
Yeah, that's the ticket. Look how well drug rehab works!
@17
From another thread, that 'comedian' was actually Seth McFarlane.
Well at least he wasn't "suicided" like if he were to investigate the lizard queen.
His mafia is bigger than hers, but his area of expertise is in her 2nd circle, not her first. Whacking her supply lines is good strategy.
@9 Weka
Presumably where ever Roman Polansky hangs his hat. Polansky has an actual conviction for raping an adolescent and Europe won't give him up.
Weinstein will move to France and convert to Islam, just watch.
How many more are in Hollywood?
If an industry produced Polanski, Weinstein, W. Allen, etc., it has produced more.
End the Hollywood tax cuts until they take this situation as seriously as they should. End the tax cuts, then perhaps oversight hearings to ensure there is proper accountability.
New rules, and all that.
The "media" are always captured by someone, it's usually the relevant level of politics (Trump's administration being the exception), and it's amazingly parallel to how regulatory agencies come to be subsidiaries of the very industries they regulate.
The line between organizations that "report the news," those that create entertainment and the firms that buy advertising space with them has probably never been this absent.
Ronan would never go after Hillary. She got him that anchor job at MSNBC, and also arranged for him to receive a made-up Cronkite award. He apparently does have some reporting chops, but the elite take care of each other.
These people aren't afraid of coming forward as if this guy is some sort of perverted sexual svengali that has some mystical control over them and the industry. It's something of an inside joke to them. Another of Hollywood's amusing idiosyncrasies everyone in the business knows about and puts up with as if it were no different than a balky vending machine or photocopier you need to whack in a certain spot to get it to work. These actors and actresses that condemn this pervert for what he is, professionals who have been silent thus far, only do so because virtue signalling and playing the fainting victim are profitable for them to do so.
The only things Hollywood loves more than a bandwagon to ride is money and sexual gratification.
If Farrow were a good reporter he would have found out which victims of Weinstein had been sodomized. That's the real meat of this story.
There are always a dozen billion potential "stories" each day; the "News" plays gatekeeper to tell you only those that serve their masters' agenda(s).
How are people today better "informed" than our prehistoric savage ancestors whose shamans and story-tellers "explained" complex and terrifying reality with stories told over campfires? News "anchors" might as well read their teleprompters while wearing grass skirts and beating human-skin drums.
During World War One there were TWO transatlantic cables that carried information from Europe to North America; one ran direct across the sea bed, the other ran THROUGH Great Britain. The British literally dug up the direct line off the sea bed and cut it, so that "news" of the war had to travel either slowly (by post/ship) or fast by the line the British controlled. Reality as perceived by Americans was molded, formed, captured, extraordinarily rendered.
Now, in the age of Video News, CGI has "dug up the cable." Video can be created from whole cloth, its fiction nearly--if not completely--undetectable.
Paradoxically, it is the very ability to seamlessly FAKE the "news" that coincides with the initiation of collapse in social trust. Those who own and run the "media" have put the basis of their entire "product," credibility, on their own bonfire.
The latest is that Harvey thinks his own brother fed the story to the NYT.
Hollywood is so disgusting, honestly it's to the point now where I'll see a gorgeous young actress in something and my stomach churns thinking about what she probably had to do to get there...or what she was forced to do. These women who said nothing for decades and allowed others to be abused are disgusting, as well. I'll take my Oscar, you take Harvey's dick in an elevator. I've worked hard all year to give them next to nothing of my hard-earned money, and I'm so glad all of this is coming to light, Hollywood's sanctimonious pricks getting what they so richly deserve.
that 'comedian' was actually Seth McFarlane.
I saw a few minutes of Family Guy once. That needs about twenty more irony quotes.
Ronan Farrow is guilty of the same behavior as those who kept silent at Miramax and The Weinstein Company.
When asked about NBC's refusal to handle the story, Farrow doesn't call out his complicit executives directly. Instead, he says: "You'll have to ask them." In other words, he wants to hide the truth to protect his NBC gig.
A better move would have been to resign from NBC and be a bigger hero to the masses. But golly, no.
I applaud his investigative work, but Farrow himself lacks moral courage.
I think the story of gay Hollywood is so sordid and reaches so far in so many directions that NO ONE wants it told. Too many manly stars would be revealed as having been targeted in their youth, and too many in power would be revealed as either participating in it or protecting those who do.
The latest is that Harvey thinks his own brother fed the story to the NYT.
The NYT has had the story since at least 2004, so no one had to feed it to anyone. The signal just had to go out that he was no longer a protected member of the tribe, so the story could be run without fear of reprisal. That could have come from the brother, if he let it be known that Harvey didn't have the money/power anymore to destroy a NYT reporter. But that still leaves questions, because why wouldn't he?
Some think the signal was the report that one of his accusers (the one in the potted plant story) was Jewish, so publicizing that was a quick way to broadcast that he was on the outs and fair game. Maybe so. The attitude shift towards him sure spread quickly somehow.
Plus, of course, if you're a lefty, gayness is better than holiness. One cannot criticize in any way because that would help Trump/Christians/Nazis.
NBC also spiked Juanita Broderick until after the impeachment vote, and I think Monica's stained blue dress that Drudge exposed.
Not "lap dogs", lapping dogs; and I ain't talkin' about ankle-lappers here..
Wait, am I supposed to feel anything about the corrupt abusing the corruptable? Pfffttt...
Now would be the perfect time for Corey Feldman to come out and finally say which Hollywood bigwigs passed him and Corey Haim around.
@Jocko: The reason he hasn't is because he didn't believe he could prove the allegations and given the statutes of limitation the guilty parties couldn't be prosecuted anyway. He could try a civil suit, but the vile have better lawyers.
@30 Ivanka, it's long been rumored/known that half of the actresses in Hollywood spent a period of time hooking prior to their "break."
It's a standing joke that every valet parking cars, every Uber driver, every prostitute, every waitress, etc., in or around LA is actually an out-of-work actor.
Side note, in respective articles both Farrow and Rebecca Traister, go out of their way to namecheck Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly and Donald Trump as examples of abusive behavior without once mentioning Anthony Weiner, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, or Bill Clinton, almost as if they're following a script. So I'm not 100% persuaded about Farrow's "reporting chops" Beyond that I'd really like to know what's driving this. The most likely theory I've seen is that this is a sign the far left is driving the "centrist" Clinton cabal off the stage much like the new right is attempting to crush the GOPe. Whatever, both parties appear to be fracturing along similar lines.
How many more are in Hollywood?
Count the producers and studio execs who have the power to greenlight a movie or demand a particular casting choice. Subtract one, since Weinstein is out. That's how many more there are.
I'm not saying they're all as bad as Weinstein. Some are worse.
@Phat Repat: Since none of us are perfect; IMO yes. That does not mean that you excuse bad behavior, but a little charity would not be out of place.
@marcus barry: Since the entire country is moving to the extremes, this is possible. The Alt-Right should do nothing to discourage this as it should make our victory all but inevitable.
Alex Jones says after taking down ol' Harvey, they will try to destroy Trump with some contrived charges of pizza activity. Sounds plausible.
@44 @ZhukovG; it's a commendable position, but these aren't commendable times. And the cesspit that is Hollyweird, must crumble.
@46. How is that even remotely plausible? I mean, sure—it plausible that they'll try some kind of whataboutism to destroy Trump, because they've tried everything in the world already and none of it has done jack squat. What isn't plausible is that it will make any difference if they do.
They are going to go after Trump with pure fabrication if necessary. They can't help themselves. This sets the table for that.
Oh, yes. They've got to get Harvey out of the headlines and get back to bashing Trump.
am I supposed to feel anything about the corrupt abusing the corruptable?
You? No, can't say I was expecting that.
Hollyweird, must crumble.
Then it shouldn't matter whether you feeeeeel anything or not. Someone brings you one of your deadly enemies who has been trying to kill you for years, tied to a chair, hands you a loaded gun, and guarantees that no one will ever know. Do you pull the trigger, or do you put it down and walk away because you hate that it's a Glock?
You don't have to like any of these actresses or feel any sympathy for them to see the opportunity to weaponize their outrage to keep the media stirring things up so more can be exposed.
Arent a lot of these players open to civil suits from the victims now that it has come out that they had long standing knowledge and in some cases helped cover thing up????
Lawfare would seem to be a perfect tools here, drain the hollywood moguls dry and go after anyone even slightly associated with t hem. make them radioactive!
Arthur Isaac wrote:They are going to go after Trump with pure fabrication if necessary. They can't help themselves. This sets the table for that.
So, Weinstein is deliberately sacrificed by the Left to set up the next attack on our president? Sounds plausible, I suppose. The story that Trump's allies are taking down powerful pedophiles and Weinstein is one of the first fits what we see too: the Left might react to Weinstein's fall by using it to smear Trump - they've used everything else for that purpose.

Cant I just strangle them with my bare hands, perhaps break their neck? I mean really a glock?! And if I must use the glock couldn't I just pistol whip them to death?
Left eating their own. Looks like sexist will be FOTM, until it gets nerfed. I would've bet good money on racism, but whatever.

True, this is a bonus. I'm now on the popcorn subscription plan; it just gets better and better.

Might I suggest the beef jerky plan instead. The carbs from all that popcorn will have you looking like weinstein in no time flat.

John Travolta got in trouble for propositioning a male masseuse on a cruise ship. He offered the guy $12,000, I think, to have gay sex. His reaction to being turned down for that was interesting. Travolta seemed genuinely surprised. He exclaimed that hey, this was the Hollywood way. This is how he got his big start during "Welcome Back, Kotter", he was a boy-toy on the casting couch. And, he had made a pretty fair offer in his mind. $12,000 - hey you do get something out of it! So he was baffled and surprised.
He didn't understand being turned down. At fifty-nine years old with most of his life spent in Tinseltown, this is the life he knows, this is how things work.
It's appalling to see the stories of so many of these women who are coming forward. For every Gwyneth Paltrow or Angelina Jolie there are a hundred more whose names we will never know - male and female. They have been eaten up, scarred, used and abused, and tossed aside by these monsters.
It really is sickening, how heartless and cruel to treat people this way. Weinstein, as bad as he his, doesn't even seem to be the worst. Check out Bryan Singer, the X-Men director. Total raving pedo. This is known. And they're still handing him scripts and big pots of money for films.

Lindsey Lohan going to bat for Weinstein. Sounds like a sort of Stockholm syndrome. He was most likely her handler.
a - he doesn't have to have been her "handler" to have gotten a piece of her. and even if he was, i'm sure there are a bunch of others who have taken their turn.
b - this would certainly explain why Lohan has destroyed herself. she hasn't aged well at all. she's only 31 now.
c - nobody in the news media is serious about this yet. we'll know they MIGHT be getting serious when we start seeing stories about all the young boys at Brian Singer parties.
the news stories are actually already out there:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bryan-singer-sex-abuse-case-699828
but they've been kept out of the mainstream "evening news" shows.
now, why would that be? why would it be that multiple complainants have requested that their suits be withdrawn from the court ... before it ever even went to trial?
GIS "Bryan Singer party" and see what you get.
Someone brings you one of your deadly enemies who has been trying to kill you for years, tied to a chair, hands you a loaded gun, and guarantees that no one will ever know. Do you pull the trigger, or do you put it down and walk away because you hate that it's a Glock?
Yes, but be careful about calling up that which you will struggle to put back down once it's done what you wanted it to.
You won't read about any boys Weinstein molested if there are any. While it's a tragedy for a women it's a catastrophe career wise for a man. The only ones I'm aware of who've come forward are the Corey's one of whom has no more career and one who's dead and Terry Crews who is so masculine they bottle his essence for fertility clinics.
Ronan has been relentless about this for years and it is brave. Who's going to hire him that isn't squeaky clean and how many guys in Hollywood are clean at all?

There's just all sorts of wrong there. Now I have to be on two plans! ;-D

FIFY.
Not every time, no. But surprisingly often.
left takes care of its own at the expense of ordinary Americans. NBC killing a story about a sexual predator in Hollywood doesn't surprise me at all
It is surprising any (((owned))) paper would publish it. I guess Harvey was only interested in girls old enough to have tits.
coming forward as if this guy is some sort of perverted sexual svengali that has some mystical control over them and the industry. It's something of an inside joke to them.
Or it's seen as the price of admission. Depending on the audience I use Jayzee stabbing a record exec while being a millionaire as an example of blacks not in poverty chimping, or as a rational man who believed he outgrew the casting couch.
dozen billion potential "stories" each day; the "News" plays gatekeeper to tell you only those that serve their masters' agenda(s).
follow @rapefugeewacth on gab and you will see dozens of black on white rape/murders a day.
think the story of gay Hollywood is so sordid and reaches so far in so many directions that NO ONE wants it told. Too many manly stars would be revealed as having been targeted in their youth
Its also a big reason you don't see a lot of strong buff white guys as actors like you would if jews didn't control Hollywood. Henry Rollins should have been a movie star but he didn't suck cock until his hair went gray.
to civil suits from the victims now that it has come out that they had long standing knowledge and in some cases helped cover thing up????
Good luck the hardest part would be not getting a jew judge assigned to the case. Notice all the judges against TRUMP have been anchor baby, jew, jew, jew, gay jew, black, jew.
Weinstein, as bad as he his, doesn't even seem to be the worst. Check out Bryan Singer
The problem with Singer is the underage boys he takes on vacations, get passed around to lesser powergays until they are 30 and no one is interested in them. They end up in their 30s with a middle school education, & expensive habits/addictions. If you wanted to make a PPGATE like movie to counter "tranny reading time in elementary school" interviewing the homeless in the San Fran-LA area would give you stories that couldn't be made up.
only ones I'm aware of who've come forward are the Corey's one of whom has no more career
Elijah Wood wouldn't give names either.
Grayman: And if I must use the glock couldn't I just pistol whip them to death?

Lots of hookers in LA are just "out of work actresses." Ditto the twinks. How many people slide into such a sewer on their own, vs how many had "help?" IDK the answer.
Recall the old saw.
He:"If I offered you $10,000,000 to sleep with me, would you do it?"
She, with a smile: "Heck yeah!"
He: "How about for ten bucks?"
She: "Hell no, what do you think I am?"
He: "That was already established; now we're just dickering on price."

I'm sorry to any White Knights I might offend, but does anyone actually believe that there are innocent girls in Hollywood that are not aware of the quid pro quo associated with becoming a "successful" actress? Females are taught very early on that they will progress in life depending on who they sell the cow to. Potential "stars" are no different, they just sell the cow at more expensive auctions. I've known several actresses, both stage and screen. I've never known one that was naive.
Bryan Singer case from 2014 Hollywood Reporter for anyone who isn't up to speed.
For every Gwyneth Paltrow or Angelina Jolie there are a hundred more whose names we will never know - male and female.
Yeah, if people can't work up any anger over actresses who came away with fame and millions of dollars, maybe it would help to think of the ones who didn't get that, who did the deed but only got a bit part and never made it out of waitressing or turning tricks. You don't think these creeps have enough starring roles for all the girls and boys they "audition," do you?
I'm sorry to any White Knights I might offend,
Nice strawman. We're well aware that there are plenty of girls who would blow you for a ride to Hollywood, let alone a part in a movie. You're missing the point. Some people are missing the point so agressively that they must be working at it.
You don't have to think they were innocent princesses abused against their will to think that the whole thing is wrong and needs to be torn down. Why is this hard?
@59 rubber ducky,
And people wonder why all the hollywood names are swimming in drugs..... you have to bury that pain somehow I suppose.
you have to look at some of these people like Katy Perry and wonder WTF they have done to her to push her to where she is!!!

"That being said, the utter cowardice of the media demonstrates, again, that they are not watch dogs, but the lap dogs of the Left".
Probably even worse than that. Most Journ-O-Lists are well aware of the low position they hold on the Progressive totem pole, somewhere between servants and hangers on. But they get a taste of what is possible by being in contact with the "beautiful people" in places like Hollywood, and are desperate to exchange their lowly place and be elevated to become a real "player".
How many journalists, minor television personalities (like Late Night hosts) and so on also dropped trousers at the hint they too, could join the upper circles?

I've noticed that a lot in these threads too. They're not getting the concept of greater enemy vs. lesser enemy, or of useful infighting amongst enemies. The ones who are attacking the accusers, who are all indeed feminista whores who sold themselves to Fat Bastard for fame and fortune, miss the points that a) Fat Bastard is a better target; and b) you never interfere when an enemy is destroying himself. Fat Bastard's destruction will hasten the destruction of feminism more than going after some airhead actress. They fail to see that the airheads will be discredited as well - not only for using the casting couch but for keeping silent all these years.
This woman has had her soul eaten by hollywood:
She was a ginger; she had no soul to begin with.
MPAI. Most people are easily led. Most people are corruptible. Marks always volunteer to be conned. We're surrounded by temptations to ancient vices and a host of modern ones. Many (if not most) people succumb to them, and many never recover.
Truly, the world is full of pain. Rule #1 for me is "try not to add to it." It's a simple rule, difficult to follow.
The world is also full of wonder. There is nothing more miraculous than a baby. The world is full of beauty. Sunsets are free for the enjoyment.
Pity those who are victimized by their own weaknesses or by the viciousness of others (if often the former precedes the latter.) The tale of Hollywood and our modern deification of celebrity status is one long tapestry of vice, pain, folly and evil.

Perhaps you can explain why this was a strawman argument? Especially since it was meant sincerely, as I knew that someone would get offended by it. And here you are, right on cue!

I’m quite aware the whole thing needs to be torn down. I just don’t get upset and view women that went into something with eyes wide open as somehow “brave” and “courageous” because they’re exposing their soul. Those that are showing up now are just looking for cash, either for not having their dreams fulfilled or looking for notoriety to score some screen time or some print time. In the end, whether you become a prostitute or not, you make a choice. I’ll just let the left eat their own on this one, as women are as protected a subpopulation as blacks and are also apparently incapable of being responsible for their decisions.
It's a strawman to say that we're A) White Knights, and B) offended, and then respond on that basis. I was neither. I don't have to be offended by what you say to point out that you're wrong.
You're banned for lying, Francis the Pope. Don't come back.

Dude, nobody here said that. Maybe you confused this place with Daily Kos?
LOL. Matt Damon knew all about Harvey. Listen to Damon trying to pre-emptively cover his ass here: "If there was ever an event that I was at and Harvey was doing this kind of thing and I didn’t see it, then I am so deeply sorry." LOL. Damon didn't just know about it, he was AT events where Harvey assaulted and molested girls! Classic!
Weinstein's lawyer gave $10,000 to Manhattan DA after he declined to prosecute back when.
That DA's name is Cyrus Vance, Junior. Boomertard son of Jimmy Carter's Secretary of State.
I see uniparty everywhere. Everywhere uniparty.

Speaking of linguistic kill shots, I also love this one from Vox:

#82 "Damon didn't just know about it, he was AT events where Harvey assaulted and molested girls! Classic!"
One wonders how many of these guys, such as Daman and Crowe, did the casting couch routine to get their parts.
Clinton/Weinstein 2020!
Lindsay Lohan looks pretty good for 45.
Damon on Harvey's casting couch almost makes sense, with his boyish good looks. He may be male, but he was an ingenue once, a young innocent to be despoiled by Harvey.
Picturing Russell Crowe is much more distasteful. He was a middle-aged-looking man by the time he got famous. The image of manly old Russell greco-roman wrestling with Harvey to "get ahead" is even more distasteful.
I love the idea that Hillary's friend and co-conspirator Terry McAuliffe, a Harvey Weinstein Democrat if there ever was one, wants to run for President.
I love Nathan Lane's response to Weinstein in the article, "You can't hurt me, I don't have a film career."

He knew. They all did.
