Harvey Weinstein's Media Enablers
The New York Times ^ | October 8, 2017 | Jim Rutenberg

Posted on 10/08/2017 6:21:59 AM PDT by Jim Noble

Now that The New York Times has put together a stomach-turning chronicle of alleged sexual harassment by the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein — complete with brave, on-the-record statements from, among others, the actress Ashley Judd — we’re hearing a lot about how the story of his misconduct was “the worst-kept secret” in Hollywood and New York...

But until now, no journalistic outfit had been able, or perhaps willing, to nail the details and hit publish...

Somehow the whispers concerning his alleged hotel-room and workplace abuses never threatened his next big deal, industry award or accolades, which included an honorary Commander of the British Empire appointment...

The real story didn’t surface until now because too many people in the intertwined news and entertainment industries had too much to gain from Mr. Weinstein for too long...

There will be questions for those who knew what was going on but did nothing, for the agents who dispatched would-be stars to his hotel suites when they may have understood what the cost would be and for the editors and reporters who conveniently didn’t bother to look into the tales making the rounds....

This is remarkable. When we find out WHY the NYT is not only publishing the Weinstein story, but now following up with this slashing attack on certain media figures and (unnamed) corporations, we will have a good idea of the forces at war in the Democratic Party

I get the feeling a lot of these perverts may have something in common but I just can seem to figure out what it is.

FWIW, I wouldn’t assume the war in within the ‘Rat party. We don’t know WTH is going on, WTH this is coming out now. And we need to know.

The phony shock and outrage that a show biz mogul is a predator is, as we said in the 60s, A Laff Riot.

What if various admins, R's and D's, had something on Weinstein and let the guy skate... If so, this would be far more than just a 'Rat cover-up.

Why now? Why Weinstein? Who got out the long knives- and why?
EVERYONE of the Hollywood elite ( including deranged rabid anti -Trump naaaaasty woman Ashley Judd) knew and played along with this man - and he’s probably not the worst ( that would be the pedophiles)

So why Weinstein and why now?

The obamas who offered up their first born to him as a prestige intern are suspiciously silent

Weinstein insulted Carlos Slim at a social event. He went up to him and publicly complained about the quality of the marijuana and cocaine at the party. Notice however that Fallon, Colbert, CBS, NBC, Disney/ABC/ESPN,CNN remain bewildered about this embarrassment within progressive ranks and are saying nothing They know nothing. Nothing at all.

The NYT wanted to get out in front of this story now rather than next year’s election season. But you may be assured that they are holding on to the juicy stories about Republicans and conservatives.

I think all of these media enablers all have the same issue...pro-Hillary and deep into foundations/special agenda groups. If you remember, there was a special group of big-name journalists that paid some key amount to be invited to Hillary-parties. I would suspect that Weinstein held similar parties for the TV media types, in support of Hillary as well.

Well, yes, I suppose the Democrat civil war may be an engagement n a wider hidden conflict. In fact, now that I think about it, that’s quite plausible.

I mean, you can’t fit Denny Hastert (for example) into a “Clintons vs. Antifa” narrative.

BUT

The New York Times (by which I mean the Sulzberger-Slim alliance) is the house organ for propaganda that supports broad Leftist causes, especially perversion and socialism. They have been stenographers for the Clinton Crime Family, and the forces behind them, for almost 30 years.

SO

For the NYT to savagely turn on a huge funding source for HRC and her future ambitions, and especially in this manner, means all is not well in Chappaqua, nor, one imagines, on Pedophile Island.

I wonder if Harvey W. had a taste for pizza?

Excellent questions. We all know why the media enabled Weinstein and other leftist elite pervs up to now. That’s the way the MSM rolls.

But why Weinstein? Why now?

Or, as someone else said this morning, they want to freeze the Vegas narrative at this point so that we’ll never know why he did it.

I have been toiling the last decade to see Harry Reid indicted, and the efforts may finally bear fruit. I bring this up here because with Weinstein in flames, Weiner in jail, Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the docket - the Democrats may be in a bonfire by 2018 elections.

My theory is that Hillary has become a liability and the more she raves on in public, the closer the dark underworld which picked Bill Clinton out of obscurity comes to exposure.

Perhaps

But why go after Weinstein? Why not just induce a Hillary stroke?

The Hypocrisy of the left is boundless.

One of the basic tenets of “feminism” was strong men of power taking advantage of weaker women with no power.

No greater example of this was President Clinton getting BJ in the Oval Office from an intern.

Compare the way the Democrats treated Clinton with the way they treated Trump over private conversation proves that point. The current defense of Weinstien she adds to that proof.

Of course we now know that regardless of the “cause” that the left supports, it is never the reason for their outrage.

They have only one goal, and that is to turn America into a Socialist Utopia.

They care nothing about minorities in general or black in particular.

Same with “women’s rights”, these are just mindless shock troops sent out to destroy anyone that stands in their way.

Gun control is not about saving lives, it is about disarming Americans.

They support open borders especially those from third world countries as a way cause chaos which they will use to gain more power.

Every action they take is designed to undermine America. They are like termites eating at our foundation.

So they do not care if powerful DEMOCRATS act badly because they really do not care as long as the check clears.
