Title: Catch and Kill Pdf Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators
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 they could not explain -- 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 our culture.
Intense, gripping, and eye opening look into abuses of power Regardless of your thoughts on Ronan, he certainly knows how to write an excellent investigative journalism book. Catch and Kill delves into the scenes behind major newsrooms and networks and how they have often successfully managed cover ups of executives, producers and stars, in essence putting profits above accountability. And of course, the book goes right at the Weinstein saga of cover ups. The book is intense, in fact it can be a bit too intense for some readers (this is in no way a kids book) but is still a compelling read.A must for investigative journalism fans, and a troubling insight into the industry~~The Devil is in the Details~~ I don't remember reading a more accurate blurb for a book for many months. This one is 'spot on' which I greatly appreciated. In 2017 the author, Ronan Farrow, was covering a routine network investigation. This eventually led to the ;blockbuster' story about one of Hollywood's most powerful producers.The reader will be along for the cover-ups, the corruption, and even espionage that enfolds within these pages. Just an incredible read that at times is surreal.'I was also fascinated with the behind the scenes conversations at NBC. And, the story about how this book came to 'be' is also amazing. The author states at the beginning of his book that it occurred between 2016 and early 2019. And, that there were over 200 interviews conducted.Early on, the females were reluctant to talk about their abuse at the hands of the predators. Soon more came forward to tell their stories. Finally, the courage and the time had come for them to speak out. I am glad that they did...One quote that Weinstein spoke on the phone to Andy Lack (head of the network) caught my attention ..."it was the 90's'... Please...as if the year mattered! Obviousy to a predator it did.This is journalistic reporting at its finest, I feel. Just superlative gathering of facts, interviewing females that were willing to go on record, and finally get this story out where it belongs...in the eyes of the public.A truly fascinating and detailed story which is captivating and so very sad and sickening for the victims.My highest recommendation for this excellent, truly excellent work that the author accomplished.A journalistic tour de force! Ronan Farrow nails it! Ronan Farrow's brilliant exposé, CATCH AND KILL, will leave you slack-jawed in awe, with his powerhouse, bravura reporting. His determination, commitment and sincerity are evident from beginning to end, and is almost enough to make one think there is actually hope for the future of Serious Journalism in America. While there are enough truly disgusting characters in this narrative, a special place of loathsomeness should be reserved for the duplicitous, woman-hating Lisa Bloom, who was secretly on Weinstein's legal team, while also "representing" several of Weinstein's victims as their "civil rights attorney"--in some cases, convincing them not to sue Weinstein--while also coaching Weinstein on the most effective ways for him to "bring down" these women. I hope that any credibility she had before is shattered. She makes herself so easy to hate. Ronan Farrow deserves all the plaudits he's getting for this book, which should serve as an historic "starting point" that signaled the end of the white male patriarchy that's been in place forever (in the media and beyond) .Time's up is right!
