re: Weinstein fired - Effective immediately

I wonder who he pissed off? He’s supposedly been a scumbag for 30 years and the NYT just randomly decides to end this guy?

Well according to another NYT Article it seemed that there were attempts to expose him in the trade publications, and interviewed one journalist (I think from The Hollywood Reporter) who couldn't get women to go on record. Even when she had one ready, the woman would back out last second out of fear. Maybe the influence and credibility of the NYT's helped in this case.

I think it's a lot easier for people like Weinstein to keep it just quiet enough to be a "worst keep secret" than to actually keep it a secret.
