I am jealous of Tina Brown? I don't think so, I have no idea who she is, this is first I've heard of her.

Whats "over the top" about my comment. Don't you think its fair to ask her why she continued to take money from him if she knew within 25 mins of meeting him.

I don't think Weinstein case was simple bad guy vs innocent women. There were many enablers, don't you think its fair to ask tough questions to people who got into business with him.

I think media like Time have gross "us vs them" biases, Tina is on their side so she gets asked no tough questions.

Your quote says she regretted going into business with him within 25 minutes of signing the contract. Not that she knew of his behavior within 25 minutes of meeting him.

Those are two entirely different things and if you want to avoid criticism you would do well to maintain consistency across your posts.

Then what kind of regret is she talking about? That it was some sort of bad business deal ? How is that relevant in this context. "Do you regret it" implies "regretting going into business with a sex predator" . Yea?

Her regretting bad business deal is not relavent here. Again thats the kind of stuff I would've asked her if I was the one interviewing her.

[Jtsummers]

From your quote of the interview:

  I certainly do. I regretted that long before the sexual harassment complaints.

She regretted doing business with him before knowing he was a sexual predator. It's plain as day, and your misrepresentation of the interview is why you're getting downvoted. You need to learn to present your case more consistently and with quotes that actually expand on it rather than quotes, like here, which present a different case than you intend.

[dominotw]

I understand, I am asking you what exactly did she regret about doing business with him. Its important to know since she regretted it before he was outed. correct?

[InitialLastName]

She doesn't appear to say in the quote, but given the upcoming reference to his personality, that might be part of it.

Let's be clear: she can regret that he was an asshole to work with and it in no way reflects on his habits as a sex offender.

[dominotw]

His being asshole otherwise is not relevant to the context. Question was "do you regret it" and context under which its asked is clear and its not about general amicability of Weinstien. What does it matter if he was an asshole to deal with.

"Mr. Weinstein’s final, failed round of manipulations shows how he operated for more than three decades: by trying to turn others into instruments or shields for his behavior, according to nearly 200 interviews, internal company records and previously undisclosed emails. Almost everyone had incentives to look the other way or reasons to stay silent. " [1]

Don't you think its media's job to ask tough questions to his business partners? Instead of letting them off the hook with "yea he was an asshole" type of non answers.

I would say the person doing the sexual abuse is clearly the worst person and the clear bad guy- yes people shouldn't enable them, but not cancelling a contract or something like that is not the same as doing sexual abuse. And it's not like cancelling the contract would've prevented the abuse.
