In every photo of him, all I see is Don Jr.

I just finished Catch and Kill and at no time did it come across as a vanity project, as this article implies. In fact, Farrow is genuine and quite humble - except of course when he’s nailing the people who tried to shut him down at NBC. This article seems to be suggesting that the work is disingenuous. It is not - it…

Exactly.  His pulitzer prize winning articles were about the victims.  The book is about how powerful men try to derail journalism.  They are related topics, but not the same story.  This kind of complaint is totally disrespectful to work he did in his original reporting.

I’d say that he’s a little more than tangentially involved, but ok.

But bitching and complaining is more fun. I’m sorry, but we complain all the time about men not stepping up and here we have a man who did just that. If he wrote a book about the victims, Megan would have complained about that too.

Yeah, it seems weird to treat his relationship to Dylan as nearly an aside.

It’s like being mad at All the President’s Men for focusing on Woodward and Bernstein instead of doing a deep dive on the Nixon presidency.

If he’d written the book from the perspective of the victims, you would have found it problematic that a man was telling their stories. The only way this book wins is if it had been written by someone else. It’s one take on a very dynamic story. I would have rather read your take on it than eleven paragraphs…

It was about the process of getting the story published and the institutional bullshit that protected people like Lauer and Weinstein. I don’t think it minimizes anything about the victims, it’s just about a different-ish topic? It’s like being mad at All the President’s Men for focusing on Woodward and Bernstein…

Number one rule of book reviewing: Review the book in front of you, not the book you fantasize about reading.

This article is ridiculous. Farrow rails against powerful evil men hiding truth to service other powerful evil men and it doesn’t matter? If powerful evil men were not allowed to suppress news and the women who make claims against them, would life not in fact be better for women and other victims?

Pick up a copy of All The President's Men next time you're in a bookstore.

I have not read this book. But it sounds from the review that this is just not the book on the matter that Megan wanted to read. I’m sure, however, it’s exactly the book that Farrow set out to write.

Next week - The Squad eats dinner! Goddamned socialists putting food in their mouths! CHEWING! AND SWALLOWING! NOT WHAT AMERICANS WANT! When will it end?!?! NOW SHE IS DRINKING A GLASS OF WATER! Not just cupping her hands and slurping like a good ol’ boy should!

She originally filed for divorce in 2006 and accused him of “cruel and inhumane” treatment in the divorce papers. She also said he exhibited “extreme anger and hostility” toward her.

“For two years, the women with whom I had extramarital relationships have abandoned shared responsibility”

So she bans Kim Burrell from her show because of homophobic comments yet basically cites “let’s be kind to one another” with a war criminal who wanted his anti- LGBT views in the fucking constitution.

I am both surprised and not surprised that since she has conservative friends, she would eventually use conservative rhetorical bullshit to defend herself. They fucking INVENTED applying the “tolerating different beliefs” principle to literally ANY belief, no matter how abhorrent, amoral, or despicable.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: rich people have far more in common with each other - politics be damned - than with the rest of us.
