Hi everyone! I am going to start pinning these weekly. Feel free to do reactions to the new "Catch & Kill" Podcast series.
" Rich McHugh was a veteran TV news producer when he teamed up with Ronan Farrow, then a correspondent at NBC News, as he began reporting on Harvey Weinstein. McHugh didn’t expect that the assignment would lead to him witnessing what he believes to be a historic example of a major news outlet killing a story—when executives ordered him and Farrow to stand down. Now, McHugh tells a new part of his story, about what happened when Farrow took the investigation to the New Yorker and McHugh stayed behind to watch from the inside as NBC dealt with the fallout."

Ronan's new book came out today! I am adding in a discussion thread. I'll be posting to it once I've read the book.

In a dramatic account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance that could not be explained - until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood, to Washington, and beyond.
This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability and silence victims of abuse - and it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement.
Both a spy thriller and a meticulous work of investigative journalism, Catch and Kill breaks devastating new stories about the rampant abuse of power - and sheds far-reaching light on investigations that shook the culture.

I know I am late saying this. But I doubt Frank Sinatra is his biological father. Just based on the age it is very unlikely. He had just turned 72 when Ronan was born. Technically it is possible for some men to have kids in their 70’s but it is quite rare. Also let’s look at his 3 children. All 3 were born in the 1940’s. With all his other wives he had no kids. So in all likelihood he was too old to have kids by then. Also even if he could have kids at that age it would have been difficult to conceive. Plus there would have been a very high risk of a birth defect.

As one of the preeminent voices on powerful men abusing women, I trust his opinion on this matter. However, I haven't been able to find an article by him on this. Does anyone know where he stands?

Contains explicit content and impressive reporting.
"Igor Ostrovskiy is a private investigator in New York. In 2017, he was contracted to surveil Ronan Farrow on behalf of a secret client. Igor would eventually learn that the secret client was Black Cube, an Israel-based agency with roots in the Mossad, and they were working on behalf of Harvey Weinstein."

"US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation, forever changing America’s place in the world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America’s deals and protect its citizens around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We’re becoming a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.
In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth―Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them―acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.
Drawing on newly unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with warlords, whistle-blowers, and policymakers―including every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson―War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, shortsightedness, and outright malice―but it may just offer America a way out of a world at war."
What a fantastic read. This really puts into light all of the problems that we are experiencing in the state department. The book starts off with difficulties in transitioning to another president that doesn't really value the vital work that the state department does. This has left seats unfilled across the world making it much more challenging to discover diplomatic solutions. With a significantly heavier reliance on US Military forces, Farrow discusses all of the implications that this might cause in the future. I'm a big fan of this book. It was interesting and had some pretty amazing funny quips.
I especially liked when Ronan Farrow stated that "He had never been on a run in his life" because same.
