    The Internet. It's a talking point of the Left, including "journalists." The way to ignore Weinstein is to focus on "OH MY GOD, FOX NEWS CAN'T TALK!" Just like you did.

    I gotta say that my feed is full of Weinstein stories and not a single person has brought up O'Reilly. I have not seen any support for Weinstein or any attempt to excuse his behaviour. And my feed is nothing BUT lefties.

    I got sidetracked by this graf, and now you can be, too ...

    On Thursday, in an attempt to increase the show’s fun factor, Ms. Kelly danced to a Pitbull song with Hoda Kotb, the co-host of the 10 a.m. hour of “Today.” The two women asked audience members to join them in an “Ellen”-style shindig, with limited success. A clip of the brief dance party went viral on social media.

    You were gone when we all did chapter and verse on what a loathsome hyena Harvey Weinstein is.

    Pointing out that Fox News should probably keep its voice down when talking about systematized office rape doesn't exonerate Weinstein.

    My feed is filled with political folk across the spectrum so I hear all 37 sides to any issue. I believe David Corn and his devoted followers were the last ones I saw Foxing it up.

    Saying everyone at Fox News is culpable and therefore can't address Weinstein is stupid. That's like saying no reporter at a paper could speak against, say, the destructive effects of drunk driving if the publisher had gotten a DUI. O'Reilly goes on and talks about Weinstein, sure, it's open season. But last night it was, "TUCKER CARLSON NEEDS TO STFU. HE WORKS AT FOX!" Is there a history of Tucker Carlson being a sexual predator, or is that chorus just liberals who are content to ignore Weinstein because, well, his connections are a tad uncomfortable?

    The idea that Weinstein is being ignored is totally ridiculous. It's been a major news story since it broke.

    Not ignored by everyone. Just liberals who put politics above women's rights. Unfortunately there are more than a few. Because their/your religion dictates that politics comes first.

    The story broke in the New York Times and the New Yorker, those eminent bastions of right-wing ideology.

    Good thing it didn't take the mainstream media more than a couple weeks of rumors to break the story.

    You should expand your reading list. Have you tried Twitter? Great resource.
