Tucker: Press Covered for ‘Serial Predator’ Weinstein and ‘Self-Appointed Guardians’ Looked the Other Way

‘No honest editor in America would have passed on that story’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
CARLSON: "We have learned a remarkable amount from the Harvey Weinstein scandal so far. The most powerful man in Hollywood was the serial predator. The press assigned to cover him instead covered up for him. Self-appointed guardians of women looked the other way. In some cases in exchange for cash. The corruption was total and complete. NBC’s role is especially shocking. Executives at NBC news knew exactly what Harvey Weinstein was doing nearly a year ago. And, yet, instead of reporting it, they did their best to keep that information hidden from public view. Thanks to leg work of their former anchor Ronan far roe, NBC had taped interviews with a number of Weinstein’s victims. They had Weinstein himself confessing to grope ago model caught on audiotape during a NYPD sting operation. NBC had Harvey Weinstein cold, busted. No honest editor in America would have passed on that story. And, yet, NBC news chief Noah on pen Heim did pass. He claimed there still wasn’t enough evidence to run. So the network killed it. NBC standards for what is news have changed quite a bit in a short period. Just a year ago, that network leaked the now famous access Hollywood tape to the “The Washington Post” on the eve of a presidential debate."
