Kurtz: NBC's Decision to Spike Bombshell Harvey Weinstein Story Is 'Inexplicable'
FoxNews ^ | 11-Oct-2017 | FpxNews

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.

Apparently Kurtz is not very observant.

I’m sure the SNL news report will cover this extensively and there will be numerous skits.

It’s simple.

Cory Haim. It’s going to blow Hollywood and the Democrats win Weinstein’s name is attached.

This was from 2016
http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1128419/corey-haims-a-list-rapist-may-finally-be-named-what-took-so-long

believe that Haim’s rapist was probably connected to something bigger and that is probably how he has remained protected for all these years,” Feldman said in the 2016 THR interview. “This person uses intimidation and threats as a way to keep people quiet. And all these men were all friends. Ask anybody in our group of kids at that time: They were passing us back and forth to each other.

“I would love to name names. I’d love to be the first to do it,” he continued. “But unfortunately California — conveniently enough — has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening.

“If I were to go and mention anybody’s name, I would be the one that would be in legal problems and I’m the one that would be sued.”

But now someone might finally be stepping up to the plate to name and shame the alleged abuser. RadarOnline says they’ve been investigating for four years and have the name of the predator: an A-list star who is the “kingpin of a child sex ring.”

And while they are not revealing the name — probably due to that same threat of lawsuit Feldman fears — they say one of Haim’s closest confidantes is preparing to tell all, and has been offered a primetime TV special to do so.

What about ABC spiking the Clinton rape story

That is still lurking in the background and I am sure both Bill and Hill are hoping ABC doesn’t get the backbone to do it NOW

“I imagine they are scared to death about what is happening now...”

Yeah ... something is up. It took Clinton and Obama a few days to say something. Their words looked quite safe and expected. Like the lawyers they are, they said what they had to say and nothing more.

Also, if there wasn’t anything big right around the corner, there is no way in hell Weinstein would run to Europe for “therapy”. He’s pulling a Polanski. There is something he’s involved with that is going to make these current accusations look tepid in comparison.

I’m speculating of course ... I have no knowledge of what’s really going on ... but, seriously, the man runs to Europe for help with a sex addiction? That’s funny. Let me guess, he went to France?

This is the VERY textbook definition of “Sexual Harassment” the Democrats tried to lay at the feet of Justice Clarence Thomas.

Swinsein was their boss, dominate in the movie industry and threatened and bullied others into silence.

And actually sexually terrorized his victims.

Not ask them out on a date,a la “Anita Hill”.
He never asked Ms Hill to massage him while naked in his judicial robes.

Democrats who railed against Thomas should be red faced with shame.

Somewhere, Justice Thomas is smiling.

We never saw this kind of outrage when NBC spiked Lisa Meyers story about Slick and the Blue Dress. Times have changes.

Inexplicable: adjective, unable to be explained or accounted for.

This can be explained very easily, a better term would be “inexcusable”.

Actually, it isn’t “inexplicable” at all.
