NBC News is facing increasing questions over why it spiked an explosive story on allegations of rape against Harvey Weinstein.

NBC correspondent Ronan Farrow was asked by Rachel Maddow why his story appeared in The New Yorker and not on an NBC platform.

Farrow's response (partial) was:

"You would have to ask NBC and NBC executives about the details of that story,"

They’d have interrupted regular programming. It would have been nonstop 24/7.

Yeah, they have no problem publishing fake stories about President Trump, i.e.. recent story about his requesting a large increase in our nuclear arsenal. Trump said it was a lie...more fake news. And time always proves, that the President is right.

If there were a few thousand complaints in every market challenging their broadcast license as not serving the Public Good, it is Possible to Shut them down for good.

How many Women were Molested or Raped because NBC Refused to WARN THEM???

How about Seth Rich?

Has anybody spiked the Seth Rich bombshell?

What’s that? Everyone has spiked it?

How inexplicable!

“...Story Is ‘Inexplicable’...”

It’s not at all inexplicable; most any of us in flyover country can “explic” it.

It’s actually pretty explicable. Outside of movie nerds and culture warriors people don’t generally know the names of movie moguls. For 90% of America this story is “somebody you never heard of did bad things, mostly to people you never heard of”. Not exactly the kind of things that keeps eyeballs on commercials.

Hollywood knew for years what this fat b*stard was doing, who are they kidding? Even the people in the restaurant he goes to knew, and they want us to believe they didn’t know? You mean to tell me all these women like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie who are millionaires and have nothing to lose didn’t gossip about this? Meryl Streep who works with everybody never heard of this? They are ALLLLL full of BS. What I want to know is what did he REALLY do for them to turn on him? Did he make a donation to Trump immediately forfeiting his membership in the lib club where everything is acceptable including pedo sex? Speaking of which, remember that pedo Bryan Singer and the pedo sex parties? Curious he is still working, nobody bothers him as long as he belongs to the “lib club”.

Here’s his IMDB page, still getting plenty of work:

It’s not inexplicable at all.

It actually very explicable. I have a feeling just about every person reading this could explic it for him.

Wasn’t Trump threatening to pull NBC’s creds just like a week or two ago?

I knew a Trump admin would be entertaining as hell.

Weinstein’s whine that this is orchestrated to push him out is probably true. Everyone has known about it for decades now all of a sudden it’s a problem ???
