Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow

5.0

Incredible reporting to uncover a massive conspiracy to protect a serial rapist. Some of what is written in this book is so outlandish that it is hard to accept that it is real. While HW is obviously the worst of the bunch, I have a newfound disgust for NBC that I didn't have when reading some of the underlying print stories. Their behavior was unacceptable for an organization trying to pass itself off as a news organization. Kudos to Rachel Maddow for pushing back against their bullshit. One thing that this book really helps illuminate is why it took such incredible courage for the victims to come forward. There was a deep-seated culture and machinery in place to suppress and blame them. It took a tsunami to overcome it.
