    If NBC had enough to run with it, which is your guess. ... the long arm of Harvey Weinstein or a too-conservative news organization that defers too much to legal, which is scared of its own shadow? Or some combination of the two?

    David Remnick deserves a ton of credit. He's not the type to be cowed easily, And that magazine will fact check the living hell out of something, perhaps beyond what anyone else will do, but they don't simply spike things out of fear.

    I don't usually put too much stock in the value of just looks. I try to see deeper and I understand and believe in the value and power of getting to know someone. But it's hard to imagine anybody being married to Harvey Weinstein for anything other than Hollywood clout and favor.

    And maybe it's just the timing, but he looks not-a-little-bit-vaguely like Stephen Paddock to me. Just saying...and maybe that's part of the un-appeal.

    That reads like the outrage of a man whose daughter interned with Weinstein.

    Or pretty drunk, but yeah. I can't imagine his putting it out in public unless it were true though. It's hardly macho enhancing.

    I'm starting to wonder if this is the start of Hollywood getting a good dose of what the Catholic Church did when the dam broke on the pedophilia stories.

    Wasn't it the two Coreys who claimed that Hollywood was rife with pedophiles? That they'd been handing around and yet were legally prevented from saying so? That might be the next domino to fall.

    It's also probably relevant that there have always been rumors that Ronan Farrow is the son of Frank Sinatra, not Woody Allen.

    That's a gene pool that knows vendettas.
