The Hollywood Reporter Is the Latest Publication to Erase Women From the Weinstein Narrative

jezebel.com: On the cover of this week’s issue of The Hollywood Reporter you’ll see a glamorous photo of Ronan Farrow, lit like the lead detective in a forgotten noir film, above the headline “The Prince Who Torched the Castle.” The profile inside walks readers through Farrow’s life story, his reporting that helped take down Harvey Weinstein et al., and suggests a future in journalism and the media that is brighter than bright.

I am very impressed by this article and the lengths at which the author is willing to go to throw backlash at the journalism industry and at Robert Farrow. This author simply stated the facts, and it is really unfortunate that some people are completely unwilling to tell the truth so that they will get more readers. I, personally, am offended that journalists have decided that a white, male, journalist is the man that outed Weinstein for all the horrible things that he did, but living in this age, people have claimed that we are closer to losing sexism, but clearly, we are not. Two female journalists outed Weinstein first, and yes, it was a whole slew of people that come forward and told their stories, but giving all the credit for Weinstein’s takedown is just sexist and rude. Unfortunately, the authors that tell the truth are less likely to get the word spread, so I am glad I came by this article, because I, too, wouldn’t know the truth if not for this author.
