"Jimmy Kimmel says he’s laid off the Harvey Weinstein jokes because he’s not the “moral conscience of America” (there’s also a video of him asking young women to guess what’s in his crotch.
And suggesting they feel it and put their mouths on it).
Famously, NBC is playing shy about the scandal, having refused to broadcast the detailed exposé by Ronan Farrow, who took it to the New Yorker which did publish it.
The story has laid bare the hypocrisy of the media giants, Democratic biggies, and the Hollywood virtue signalers.

At the Boston Herald, Howie Carr reminds us of the NBC double standard:
NBC News has always had a soft spot for millionaire Democrats accused of rape.
Almost 20 years ago, they had the first on-camera interview with Juanita Broaddrick, who credibly accused Bill Clinton of raping her, but that story was spiked on orders of… Brian Williams.
We already knew that Saturday Night Live’s producer Lorne Michaels last weekend gave a pass to his dear friend Weinstein. That’s how corrupt the entertainment side of NBC is. But now it turns out that Ronan Farrow begged NBC “News” to run his exposé, which has since been printed by The New Yorker. [snip]
Farrow had NYPD audio of Weinstein admitting to sexually assaulting a 21-year-old Italian model. And he had video of actress Rose McGowan accusing Harvey of raping her.
Imagine that -- a big-time Democratic donor to such moral titans as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards, three members of the Kennedy family and Eliot Spitzer -- accused of sexually abusing a woman.
But NBC adamantly refused to run the piece because… well, reread the above paragraph.
In fact, the Huffington Post reported, NBC ordered Ronan Farrow, who was then under contract, to stop reporting the story.
“NBC tried to put a stop to the interview with the woman accusing Weinstein of rape,” the website said. “The network insisted he not use an NBC News crew for the interview, and neither was he to mention his NBC News affiliation.”
Here’s one ex-Weinstein employee, Tina Brown, describing how Harvey always kept corrupt alt-left “journalists” from outing him: “It was startling -- and professionally mortifying -- to discover how many hacks… were on the Miramax payroll with a ‘consultancy’ or a ‘development deal’ (one even at The New York Times).”
Anyone at NBC News, Tina?
