Farrow was getting so much pushback and that is just as much part of the story because these fuckwads were willing (and those who have not yet been caught still ARE) to do just about anything to not get caught.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324184763890960825.post-33041994470453059932020-09-03T09:37:08.570-05:002020-09-03T09:37:08.570-05:00For me, I think the difference may be that Farrow ...For me, I think the difference may be that Farrow putting himself into the story wasn't intended to be "look how great I am". He is in the story because it shows how the people who benefited from these powerful men tried to stifle the story.

And it is interesting to me that Farrow, not a print journalist at all, could put together such a great book, but Kantor and Twohey, print journalists, could not do the same. I felt like they really put themselves into the story more and it was just as much about them getting the info as it was the info itself. Even though Farrow documented his journey also, I did not get the same vibe from him.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324184763890960825.post-14644457869064987792020-09-01T11:22:04.932-05:002020-09-01T11:22:04.932-05:00Isn't it wild!

Hopefully it'll make men like Weinstein think twice before dominating and abusing others, both women and men. I didn't know Matt Lauer raped a woman in 2014, and then the higher ups covered it over!
