We talk about the brave women who inspired the worldwide #metoo movement, discuss the system of enablers that allowed Weinstein to stay in power, and provide insight into the real people. We also fit in a great Rotten Tomatoes game where Mel gets to guess the scores of some of cinema's great (and no-so-great) journalism movies!

SORRY/NOT SORRY charts how an open secret about comedian Louis C.K.'s sexual misconduct evolved into a front page article on The New York Times. Following the story's publication, Louis C.K. admitted “these stories are true” and faced initial repercussions, only to return to the stage nine months later. While the story of C.K.'s rise and fall largely played out in public, this film reveals the stories of three women who spoke out over the years about C.K.'s behavior. Through candor and surprising humor, the documentary gives voice to the nuanced and complicated experiences of Jen Kirkman, Abby Schachner, and Megan Koester. It presents new details about their encounters with Louis C.K. and unveils the extent of the personal and professional consequences they faced for speaking out about it. SORRY / NOT SORRY directors Caroline Suh and Cara Mones shed new light on questions about sex and power in the workplace, who gets to take the stage, and the role the public plays in these stories at large. Featuring interviews with the reporters who broke the original story – Melena Ryzik, Cara Buckley, and Jodi Kantor – along with comedians, gatekeepers and critics including Michael Ian Black, Michael Schur, Aida Rodriguez, Andy Kindler, Noam Dworman, and Wesley Morris, the film leaves viewers contemplating: who is afforded a second chance, and who is overlooked in the process?

It's Monday, May 27th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus American missionary couple killed in Haiti Last Thursday, two American Christian missionaries were killed by gang violence in Haiti, reports Fox News. In one Facebook post, Missions In Haiti documented that Davy and Natalie Lloyd, full-time missionaries to Haiti, “were ambushed by a gang of three trucks full of guys. Davy was taken to the house tied up and beat.” Tragically, they were shot and killed at 9:00 p.m. Natalie was the daughter of Missouri State Rep. Ben Baker who said, "My heart is broken in a thousand pieces. I've never felt this kind of pain. They went to Heaven together. Please pray for my family. We desperately need strength." Former President Donald Trump said, "Such a tragedy. Haiti is totally out of control. Find the killers NOW!!!" Haiti, an island nation plagued by poverty, natural disasters, and corruption, has plunged into further turmoil since February 29, when gangs launched coordinated attacks, burned police stations, opened fire on the main international airport, and stormed Haiti's two biggest prisons, releasing more than 4,000 inmates. Plus, the country's largest seaport remains paralyzed as food and medication dwindle. At least 1.4 million Haitians are on the verge of famine. Trump holds Bronx rally, endorsed by black Puerto Rican politician Former President Donald Trump did something unusual. Last Thursday, he held a campaign rally in The Bronx, a Democratic borough of New York City where 85% of residents are black or Hispanic. TRUMP: “Hello New York City! And hello to all of the incredible, tough, strong, hardworking, American patriots right here in The Bronx. (cheers) Who would think? Who would think?” Although Trump has been leading President Joe Biden in polls of battleground states, Biden has been outdistancing Trump by at least 9% in New York, reports The Epoch Times. New York's voter registrations are lopsided in favor of Democrats. Statewide, Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1. In Bronx County, there are only 43,000 registered Republicans—less than one-tenth the Democrat total of 507,000, according to the New York State Board of Elections. That's why Democrats scoffed online at the significance of Trump's audience in the Bronx. Crowd estimates ranged from 7,000 to more than 20,000. Even in a best-case-scenario, the rally attendance doesn't begin to dent the voter-registration deficit in a state that has 13 million voters. But Trump made his best case on how his presidency financially benefitted all racial groups because of lower taxes, energy independence, and a strong economy. TRUMP: “We had the greatest economy in history. Everybody had the best they've ever had. African-American jobs were the best in history. Asian-American, the best in history. Hispanic, the best in history, women, people with the diploma, people without a diploma. People that went to the great Wharton School of Finance, MIT, Harvard -- they were doing better. And the people that didn't have a high school diploma were having the, everybody was better. There wasn't one group, not one that went down. And it was bringing our country together.” Voter surveys show an increasing number of young, Hispanic, and black voters shifting toward Trump. After Trump's speech, former New York City councilman Rubén Díaz Sr., a Democrat, endorsed him. Listen. DIAZ: “Mr. President, I want to join you in having the Bronx great again. (cheers) Please accept this Democrat, this black Puerto Rican with the kinky hair and the broken English, please accept my endorsement for you as president. Thank you very much.” (cheers) TRUMP: “How nice was that. I didn't expect that, really! That was beautiful!” Senator Graham objects to Justice Alito's “Appeal to Heaven” flag Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina recently lectured Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for allowing his home to fly an upside-down American flag and the Appeal to Heaven flag dating back to the early stages of the American War for Independence, reports The Blaze. The hornet's nest was stirred up when Obama biographer, Jodi Kantor, wrote an article in the New York Times centering on an American flag that was displayed upside down outside Alito's New Jersey vacation home back in mid-January 2021. Alito said that his wife – Martha-Ann Alito – flew the flag in their yard for a short time "in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs." The New York Times then ran another article highlighting that an "Appeal to Heaven" flag was displayed outside Alito's vacation home in July and September 2023. The paper attempted to frame the flags as having negative connotations because some protesters carried the flags during the January 6th rally in D.C. The Appeal to Heaven flag was commissioned by George Washington, and has been in existence since 1775. The flag was first used by the Massachusetts Navy during the American Revolutionary War. It was among the first flags to symbolize the American colonies' pursuit of independence from the British. The yellow flag features a green pine tree and the phrase "An appeal to Heaven." That quote comes from British political philosopher John Locke. Graham lambasted Alito for flying the flags, saying, "Emotions are apparently high in that neighborhood. It's not good judgment to do that.” But Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah said, “Martha-Ann Alito has every right to hang whatever flag she wants. In whatever manner she wants. She is a free citizen. And a freedom-loving, American patriot." And House Speaker Mike Johnson also defended Justice Alito. He told CNN last Wednesday, "It's George Washington's flag. It goes back to the founder's era. I've always flown that flag." Johnson features “The Appeal to Heaven” flag outside of his office door. Job 16:19 says, “My Witness is in Heaven; my Advocate is on high.” Golfer Grayson Murray died And finally, two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died Saturday morning at age 30, one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Cup Challenge at Colonial, reports Fox Sports. There were no immediate details on the circumstances of his death. Murray, who had dealt with alcohol and mental health issues in the past, made a massive turnaround this year and won the Sony Open in January 2024. Previously, Murray made this comment. MUURAY: “My parents have been through hell and back basically for the last six years with me, fighting some mental stuff. It's not easy. I think our society now is getting better about accepting that it's okay to not be okay type deal. I'm not ashamed that I go through depression, anxiety.” PGA golfer Bubba Watson tweeted, "Very sad to hear the news of Grayson Murray's passing today. Life is so fragile.” James 4:14 says, “You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, May 27th in the year of our Lord 2024.

On our season 5 finale of Respecting Religion, Amanda and Holly recap some recent decisions and discuss what we can expect in the next month. Religion is still at play in several cases, even if religious legal statutes aren't the questions being considered. Plus, they look at some recent statements from Supreme Court justices during extracurricular activities and share what those reveal about the justices themselves and the work at the Court, including a rare – and surprising – statement one justice gave directly to the media.

School District of Abington Township v. Schempp (1963) and Engel v. Vitale (1962) are commonly called the “school prayer cases,” with the decisions in those cases finding government-sponsored religious exercises unconstitutional in public schools, providing protection for the religious liberty rights of all students.

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, a stunning reversal in the landmark case of the #MeToo movement. The court said the judge's decision to allow witnesses to claim Weinstein assaulted them, but not include those allegations in the charges, precluded Weinstein from having a fair trial.

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
Ever wondered what it's like to work at Amazon? I mean, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere, just like New York, right? It feels like after you've done time at Amazon, your meal ticket is punched, and you'll have a cascade of job offers and great opportunities thereafter. But would you give your soul in exchange for a career at Amazon?In this episode, I have Kristi Coulter, a brilliant author who wrote the book Exit Interview. She's also a writing professor and an editorial coach, so she helps people get their books into the world.Exit Interview is about Kristi's experience of 12 years at Amazon corporate. It is an incisive, hilarious book, and as a woman reading it, I felt it was so needed in the literary world. We needed someone to voice what was happening on the inside in corporate employment. We get into the sexism and double standards she faced, her tumultuous attempts to advance up the Amazon career ladder, her relationship with ambition, her sobriety journey, and how she has both learned - and proven - that it is never too late to change in life. She also recounts how Amazon - and specifically, Jeff Bezos - responded to the famous New York Times expose of Amazon by Jodi Kantor (who also broke the Harvey Weinstein abuse scandal). You definitely don't want to miss that story.And by the way, the brutal culture Kristi experienced at work is not unique to Amazon, but is something people from many in tech can relate to, so I found it cathartic to read.So, if you're wondering, "Oh, Amazon, what's it like there?" join us as we peel back the mystique and aura of Amazon. Don't worry, we'll get some solid and entertaining Jeff Bezos anecdotes up in there."I know there's this myth that people who make that kind of money aren't really working. But I could tell you, at Amazon, those people were working insanely hard. Like so hard that I would think, ‘you know, you're worth tens of millions of dollars, why are you answering emails on Sunday night? … Why don't you go on more vacations?'"- Kristi CoulterIn This Episode:-Why Kristi wrote her book -Climbing the corporate ladder at Amazon-What was it like getting a job at Amazon as a 36-year-old woman?-How do you react to a weird situation in the workplace?-Living and working in a place where "drinking" is part of the culture-Kristi's leadership example at a luxury retreat -One more humorous interlude -The New York Times article and the response from Jeff Bezos-Does Jeff Bezos actually care about diversity and equity?And much more.Resources:-Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career by Kristi Coulter - https://www.amazon.com/Exit-Interview-Death-Ambitious-Career/dp/0374600902-Inside Amazon: Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace - https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/2015/08/16/technology/inside-amazon-wrestling-big-ideas-in-a-bruising-workplace.html-Jeff Bezos Responds To 'New York Times' Report On Amazon's Workplace -

Since long before Roe v Wade enshrined a federal right to choose in 1973, abortion has been one of the most contentious issues in American life. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe with their decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization, marking a new peak in the political energy and emotion surrounding abortion. Katie's guest today, New York Times journalist Jodi Kantor (who won a Pulitzer for her Me Too reporting), has been behind some of the most exhaustively sourced and in-depth reporting on just how Dobbs unfolded. As Jodi tells us, in many ways, SCOTUS' Dobb's decision was shocking. The case started as a long-shot ban on abortions after 15-weeks in Mississippi. But a series of events made it one of the most monumental in American history: an even more controversial case from Texas coming along at the same time, Justice Ginsberg's death, and an unprecedented leak of the decision in Dobbs that some feel affected Justices' ability to deliberate fully. It's easy to imagine this going differently if even one of those things changed. Roe's reversal could be interpreted as the triumphant fruition of 50 years of conservative efforts or as an issue that could swing voters to liberal candidates; there's evidence for both. Entering an election year, the transparency Jodi brings to one of our most hallowed institutions–one that may face serious tests this year–is unmissable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Air Date 1/13/2024 The Supreme Court began to lose its legitimacy in the eyes of many when President Obama wasn't allowed to fill the open seat left by the death of Antonin Scalia but, in truth, the scandal and manipulation of the nation's highest court go back much, much farther than that. However, in a bygone age, scandal was handled much differently than today, putting our current state of disfunction and hyper-partisanship into sharp focus. Be part of the show!

Jess here! This week, I'm coming to you from somewhere in Indiana, tired but happy. Getting out on the road and speaking to students, teachers, and communities is both exhausting and incredibly invigorating, and this week I got to speak to a classroom of student writers, kids who are just learning about the basics of researching, writing, and even podcasting. There's nothing I love more. When I'm in these classrooms, and especially when I'm talking to kids looking to change the world by writing for their school papers as they dream about breaking big stories like the Harvey Weinstein saga, I always recommend Jodi Kantor and Meghan Twohey's essential text, Chasing the Truth: A Young Journalist's Guide to Investigative Reporting. Enjoy! New York Times investigative journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the story of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assaults in 2017 and harassment and won a Pulitzer Prize for their efforts. Their book about the Weinstein investigation, She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, came out in 2019 and the film version will be out this November.Now, Jodi and Megan offer the lessons of their investigation - the process involved and the rules that governed its publication - to student journalists so they may be inspired and informed. I (Jess) got to talk to Jodi Kantor about the book they created for those young journalists, Chasing the Truth: A Young Journalist's Guide to Investigative Reporting.Links from the Pod:#AmWriting Facebook groupIf you love a good writing retreat—especially one that comes with good solid coaching and the chance to meet others who are working on similar projects—here's one to check out.

International Women's Week on Intelligence Squared. On this episode we hear from some of the women who helped sparked the 2017 MeToo movement. Jodi Kantor and Meghan Twohey are the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalists who first broke the story of Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct with dozens of Hollywood's most elite actresses. The journalists were joined on stage by three women who had previously worked with Weinstein and broke their long-buried, and legally bound, silence over his sexual abuse allegations; Rowena Chiu - Former assistant to Harvey Weinstein; Laura Madden - Former production executive at Harvey Weinstein's Miramax Films London; and Zelda Perkins - Former assistant to Harvey Weinstein and a campaigner against non-disclosure agreements. In this conversation they recount their work to publish a story which had been silenced for decades and how this sparked a movement for societal change. Our host for this conversation was Carrie Gracie, Former BBC China Editor and author of Equal: A Story of Women, Men and Money. This recording took place in central London in 2019 as part of the series “Intelligent Times” – a partnership between Intelligence Squared and The New York Times. Learn more about your ad choices.

Then there was the report on the investigation into the leak. Then there was the supplemental report from the Marshal on the report on the investigation into the leak. AND THEN there was the revealing reporting from the NY Times' Jodi Kantor on a court roiled by reports and investigating and leaks. This week, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Jodi Kantor to dig through the reports, reporting and repercussions for the people who are inside One, First Street, and for the baffled majority who aren't. In this week's Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Slate's Mark Joseph Stern to try to figure out why it's taking so long for SCOTUS to hand down opinions this term, and to examine the very first decision of the term, disappointing in its unanimity and its negative impact on veterans.

For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2019 and 2020, respectively.In their best-selling book “She Said” — the basis for the Maria Schrader-directed film of the same title, currently in theaters — the Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey recount how they broke the Harvey Weinstein story, work that earned them the Pulitzer Prize, led to Weinstein's 2020 conviction on felony sex crimes and helped solidify #MeToo as an ongoing national movement.When the book was published in 2019, Twohey and Kantor were guests on the podcast and discussed the difficulties they had faced in getting women to speak on the record about Weinstein's predation. They also said that their coverage of workplace sexual harassment would not end with Weinstein: “Our attitude is that you can't solve a problem you can't see,” Kantor told the host Pamela Paul. “Megan and I can't adjudicate all of the controversies around #MeToo, but what we can continue to do is bring information to light in a responsible way and uncover this secret history that so many of us are still trying to understand.”Also this week, we revisit Neal Gabler's 2020 podcast appearance, in which he talked about “Catching the Wind,” the first volume of his Ted Kennedy biography. (The second and concluding volume, “Against the Wind,” has just been published.) “I approached this book as a biography of Edward Kennedy, but also, equally, a biography of American liberalism,” he said at the time.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.

Megan Twohey, New York Times investigative reporter and co-author (with Jodi Kantor) of She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement (Penguin Press, 2019), reflects on the stories she and Jodi Kantor reported that exposed former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse and helped kick off the #MeToo movement -- and what it's like having a feature film made about your life.
The film She Said is about the New York Times investigation of movie producer Harvey Weinstein. Zoe Kazan plays Jodi Kantor and Carey Mulligan plays Megan Twohey. Their reporting on Weinstein's sexual misconduct and assault allegations contributed greatly to the #MeToo movement, and helped lead to criminal charges that sent Weinstein to prison. The film was directed by Maria Schrader and written by Rebecca Lenkiewicz and is in theaters now.
Five years ago, on Oct. 5, 2017, the New York Times published an article written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. The headline read: “Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades.” Fueled by the Hollywood stars in the story, Jodi and Megan's reporting made the Me Too movement — started by Tarana Burke in 2006 — go viral. Now the reporters and their incredible investigation are the subjects of a feature film called “She Said,” which is based on the eponymous book they co-wrote in 2019. The movie stars Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan and not only focuses on the personal lives of the reporters and how they got the story no one else could, but also the lives of their sources — the regular women whose careers were cut short and lives altered because of Weinstein's torment. “They wanted to break into the industry,” Megan tells Katie, “and instead they experienced attacks and harassment and abuse and to see in this movie the toll that has taken on their lives so many years later. I mean, it wrote them out of the industry.” On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and the New York Times reporters talk about the bizarre experience of seeing their lives unfold on screen, the power of journalism, the comfort of the newsroom, and the lasting impacts of Me Too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey helped ignite the #MeToo movement and bring down one of Hollywood's most powerful men, Harvey Weinstein. Now, they join #TheView with stars Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, who tell their story in the new film “She Said.” In Hot Topics, the co-hosts react to former Vice Pres. Pence saying that former Pres. Trump's words and actions on Jan. 6 were “reckless,” and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
John and Craig welcome back Liz Alper (Day of the Dead, The Rookie) and Brittani Nichols (Abbott Elementary, A Black Lady Sketch Show) to discuss how much progress has been made on issues from #MeToo, #PayUpHollywood, and depictions of police on screen.

We also answer listener questions on how to deal with ethically complicated projects and why there's still so much copaganda on television.

In 2002, journalist Ken Auletta tried to expose Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse of women in a New Yorker profile he was writing about the powerful film mogul, but his sources were unwilling to go on the record. It would take another 15 years for the full story to come to light through Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's reporting for the New York Times and Ronan Farrow's for the New Yorker. For his new book, “Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence,” Auletta revisits the story that got away and offers up a fascinating portrayal of Weinstein's life and career. And for this bonus episode, he talks with Katie about what exactly motivated Weinstein to commit such horrific acts, the culture of complicity that enabled him, and the current state of the #MeToo movement that his toppling set in motion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
