NBC apparently refused to report on Weinstein:

As for why, I'll let you answer for yourselves.

Yeah, that part of the story is interesting; more sources on it:

-- NBC is facing questions now as to why Farrow, who still serves as an investigative correspondent for the network, would instead publish his 10-month investigation in The New Yorker. The network declined to comment. But an NBC source told me Farrow, who doesnt have an exclusive relationship with them, was permitted to go to a print outlet if the network passed on the story. The NBC source said Farrows early reporting on the allegations against Weinstein didnt meet the bar for a story, as none of the accusers were yet willing to be named or speak on the record.

-- Farrow suggested otherwise Tuesday night on MSNBC, telling Rachel Maddow that he walked into the door at The New Yorker with an explosively reportable piece that should have been public earlier and immediately, obviously, The New Yorker recognized that and it is not accurate to say that it was not reportable. It's unclear what piece, specifically, Farrow is referring to, but HuffPost reported he already had the NYPD tape -- arguably a story unto itself -- while reporting for NBC. Farrow, who will appear this morning on MSNBCs Morning Joe and NBCs Today show, said there were multiple determinations that it was reportable at NBC. When asked why NBC passed, he told Maddow to ask network executives.
