How NBC gave up Ronan Farrow's explosive Harvey Weinstein scoop

Last year NBC News was scooped on one of the biggest stories of the year -- Donald Trump talking about groping women on NBC's "Access Hollywood" tape. The Washington Post published it first. Now NBC is under scrutiny for another missed opportunity. Reporter and NBC contributor Ronan Farrow pursued leads about Harvey Weinstein's misconduct for months, but NBC passed on the chance to publish his story.

Pretty simple. NBC News is part of NBC-Universal. Everyone knows Universal is a major studio. They did not want to rock the boat in Hollywood.

Thank you for the quote from Voltaire

Don’t you just love the way Brian Seltzer manages to get the old left-wing story about Donald Trump groping women in the first sentence of a story about Harvey Weinstein?

CNN is Hitler’s American version of the Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda. These Nazis shouldn’t be allowed to spew their lies and disinformation on FR.

And no, we don’t need to post CNN crap to see what the enemy is writing about.

FR: BAN CNN!

Does anyone seriously wonder why ?

That could explain why SNL didn't want to joke about Weinstein.

It could be about shared liberalism or it could be about Lorne Michaels identifying as a wanna-be mogul with Weinstein.

It could also be about NBC Universal's business connections with Weinstein.

Or it could because the network failed to cover the story and didn't want to remind people of that.

They think they are so slick.

We have hours of video of Vice President Joe Biden groping little girls and no one says a word about it.

Same way ABC spiked the Clinton Rape Story

[VeniVidiVici]

SNL is part of the Hollywood swamp. Funny that they blame Trump for making a statement but bury Weinstein’s TRUE indiscretions over decades.

They had a chance to grill Hillary with her ridiculous book name and they passed to replay the same old ridicule of Trump.

I think that was NBC.
