The kid has done good. I would imagine he has plenty of money so he can give a middle finger the the people telling him to stop his digging around. He has slayed one of the most powerful men in Hollywood and now the ex-NY Attorney General. I wonder how he gets these women to open up.

He seems to be doing something few in the media do, unbiased investigative journalism - an because of that he gains national attention.

And yet he can’t get any employee to tell bad dirt on Donald Trump

Stop and think a minute. We look at this as schadenfreude. But to the left, this is just achieving their agenda: White guys bad and Trump is next...................

Re: He seems to be doing something few in the media do, unbiased investigative journalism -
In other words: presenting Truth. Which the Left refers to as fake news these days.

From the article:
The reality is, I was not celebrated when I set about breaking the stories I broke this past year
But the reality is my career was on the rocks. And as a result of my tackling this story as doggedly as it did, it fell apart almost completely.
There was a moment about a year ago when I didnt have the institutional support of my news organization. My contract was ending. And after I refused to stop work on the story, I did not have a new one. My book publisher dropped me, refusing to look at a single page of a manuscript Id labored over for years. I found out another news outlet was racing to scoop me on the Weinstein story, and I knew I was falling behind. I did not know if Id ever be able to report that story, or if a year of work would amount to anything
Im not being falsely humble. I was sincerely at a moment when I did not know if I would have a job in journalism a month or two months after, or ever again.
There were so many people in my ear at that time making such good arguments that what I was doing was a mistake. Not because they were evil, but because they looked at the world as it was a year ago and concluded, This isnt worth it. Youll tell one story at the expense of so many others. They were being rational about what our culture would accept and what it would care about, based on the existing evidence. And these were people I trusted. My bosses saying you have got to stop, let it go. My agent saying its causing too many speed bumps for your career, you have got to let it go. Even loved ones, saying is this really worth it? Pointing out that I would risk my whole career for a story that might not even make a dent.

Investigative journalism is rare and valuable, and Farrow clearly has a knack for it.

But why didn’t the New Yorker spike the story?
I’d bet the tick tock surrounding how this story got published would make very interesting reading.

Handsome young man. A nice synthesis of both mom and dad. Even better, he’s got a good brain in his head.
But I still wanna know how this story came to see the light of day. :-)

I don't think so - people are mostly numb to this sort of accusation these days. Feminists have been defending Bill Clinton's behavior with a very young intern for decades now, and all of a sudden we're supposed to be concerned about what Trump did with some middle-aged woman? Who cares?
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Who cares?
That is my point, we look at it one way, they look at it differently.........................

He looks like Mia Farrow, which is not a particularly good look for a man. His mother's attempts to claim a dead, famous man for his father are embarrassing, and have been denied by Sinatra's widow and family.
The current stories about Trump's infidelity come from Farrow - to Farrow's frustration, no doubt, no one outside of a few CNN reporters really seems to care.

I bet that every time a journalist is close to finishing an expose about someone in power, they hear these exact words.
