A word on media accountability. The world has seen not only the truth finally come out about Harvey Weinstein thanks to NYT & New Yorker 1/
2/ ... we've also seen direct/indirect examples of how members of the media helped cover up his alleged crimes. Publishing dirt on victims..
3/...plus killing excellent and solid journalism that would have exposed his crimes earlier thus stopping his victimizing new women
4/ There is no functioning body that oversees journalism that can demand an accounting for how this happened. It's up to each organization
5/ and unless the star reporters and editors and EPs or a board of directors demands it, it will be swept under the rug. No question.
6/ the very same incentives that hampered @Isikoff's Bill Clinton investigations in the 90s hampered @kimmasters on Amazon scandal.
7/ If media reporters don't push from the outside and powerful people from the inside, nothing will change. This week we all saw lies...
8/ from news organizations tasked with telling us the truth, except when discussing their own internal corrupt behaviors. Demand better. ###
