Not clear if this is related to shift in US Syria policy, Trump election or if anything else explains why NYT editors or owners decided to leak this scandal at this juncture exposing a major hollywood fiundraiser for so called "founder of ISIS":

Harvey Weinstein Succeeds Where Trump Failed, Sends NYTimes Stock Tumbling

For months Donald Trump has been engaged in a war of words with "fake news" powerhouse, New York Times, and all he has achieved is to boost its subscription while sending its stock price soaring.
Well, where Republican Donald Trump failed to punish the liberal NYT, Hillary Clinton's prominent Democrat supporter, Harvey Weinsten, has succeeded, and in one day the shares of the NYT fell the most in almost two months after the movie mogul threatened to sue the publisher over its article (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/us/harvey-weinstein-harassment-allegations.html?_r=0)detailing allegations of sexual harassment. Times shares dipped 3% to $19.50 Friday, the biggest intraday decline in two months.

The prominent, and now radioactive Hollywood producer, famous for such Oscar winners as “The English Patient” and “Shakespeare in Love,” took a leave of absence from his production company following the New York Times article on Thursday.

Actress Ashley Judd was among the people in the article who say they were harassed by the producer, who has been a fixture in Hollywood power circles for almost four decades. Weinstein has reached at least eight settlements with women, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed officials at the Weinstein Co., the film and TV production company Harvey founded in 2005 with his brother Bob.

OCT. 5, 2017

I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different. That was the culture then.

I have since learned it’s not an excuse, in the office - or out of it. To anyone.

I realized some time ago that I needed to be a better person and my interactions with the people I work with have changed.

I appreciate the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it.

Though I’m trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go. That is my commitment. My journey now will be to learn about myself and conquer my demons. Over the last year I've asked Lisa Bloom to tutor me and she's put together a team of people. I've brought on therapists and I plan to take a leave of absence from my company and to deal with this issue head on. I so respect all women and regret what happened. I hope that my actions will speak louder than words and that one day we will all be able to earn their trust and sit down together with Lisa to learn more. Jay Z wrote in 4:44 "I'm not the man I thought I was and I better be that man for my children." The same is true for me. I want a second chance in the community but I know I've got work to do to earn it. I have goals that are now priorities. Trust me, this isn't an overnight process. I've been trying to do this for 10 years and this is a wake-up call. I cannot be more remorseful about the people I hurt and I plan to do right by all of them.

I am going to need a place to channel that anger so I've decided that I'm going to give the NRA my full attention. I hope Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party. I'm going to do it at the same place I had my Bar Mitzvah. I'm making a movie about our President, perhaps we can make it a joint retirement party. One year ago, I began organizing a $5 million foundation to give scholarships to women directors at USC. While this might seem coincidental, it has been in the works for a year. It will be named after my mom and I won't disappoint her.

If this was the culture in 60s and 70s, things have got quite dull in recent decades then.



Former Fox News reporter claims that Harvey Weinstein masturbated into a plant pot in front of her after cornering her in a New York restaurant



New allegations of sexual misconduct have emerged against powerful Hollywood movie executive Harvey Weinstein
TV anchor said she remained silent due to Weinstein's tremendous clout


Former Fox News reporter Lauren Sivan told The Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/weinstein-sexual-harassment-allegation_us_59d7ea3de4b046f5ad984211?4dk) on Friday that the influential producer once trapped her in the hallway of a restaurant during a private event and masturbated in front of her until he ejaculated.
'Well, can you just stand there and shut up,' Weinstein allegedly told the anchor before he carried out his sex act.

Sivan's accusations come just one day after The New York Times published a bombshell story detailing Weinstein's decades long pattern of allegedly harassing women.



Is Hillary Clinton not apeaking out strongly about her loyal mega fundraiser Harvey because she grew up in 60s and 70s culture or some other reason?
