Did anyone see him on Colbert last night??? Colbert went there...

Thank you. This review is genuinely pathetic and anger making.

Your primary issue with the book is that it’s not about the content of the article that he published, but instead is about the process of creating that article.

I actually waited for a review of She Said, but it's still nowhere to be found on Jezebel. Weird, right? Why review a book written by women and about women if you can bitch that a man didn't write this book instead? 

God Jezebel sucks. It gives me no pleasure to point this out. A female-focused culture and politics site should be thriving in the current zeitgeist. And yet...vape snark and Daddy Bernie. 

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Except this book is about all the people who were paid to line up and protect HW & Matt Lauer & Donald Trump & Bill Clinton - and while it covers the tremendous abuse these women faced, it is about the lengths that people (men & WOMEN!) went to to protect the abusers....I still don’t understand the push back.

Seriously, the point of the book is that Ronan got a hell of a lot of pushback on the story where normally it does not occur. It sent up flags but Farrow kept on because he had deadlines and still pursued them.

This review, in my reading, is like getting upset at Spotlight for not telling the stories of the victims from their own perspectives. That movie doesn’t set out to do so, but does set out to tell another compelling story about the same topic, but from a different angle. Both sets of stories give a fuller picture of…

Did he ever claim or present this book as anything but a real-life thriller about him getting a story out after being pressured and implicitly threatened not to?

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…

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?

I mean... if you’re mad that A Man is getting credit, cover Kantor and Twohey themselves more on this site? They surely deserve it and I’d love to read the piece about their journey. If you’re mad that the victims aren’t centered, there are other pieces where they are. I’m not sure the existence of one book about the…

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.

“Catch and Kill is paced like a thriller, and Farrow, the detective at the center, positions himself as the main character....”

You would think that over 20 years after her death, now that we know Diana was a severely damaged individual, who likely had several mental health issues, people would acknowledge them. Instead, we continue to lionize her and keep the perpetual victim narrative going. Also, the wicked stepmother stereotype is sexist…

Because people have decided that Diana can do no wrong, so she must be justified in physically assaulting other people. She occasionally talked about a social issue, when she wasn’t jet-setting around the world, spending millions in public funds doing nearly nothing. Is it better than the actual nothing done by the…
