4:14 pm
new finger pointing today as the harvey weinstein scandal continues to unfold. the nypd and district attorney's office issued duelling statements today, each one blaming the other for why weinstein wasn't charged with a crime in 2015. we played you some of the disturbing audio yesterday published by "the
4:15 pm
magazine. weinstein is accused of groping an italian model. today there are new questions about whether the media knowingly or unknowingly helped harvey weinstein cover up his activities. >> margaret sullivan has an interesting column in "the washington post" today. you say weinstein could spare somebody by using his media influence or help women out if they stayed quiet about his actions towards them. >> the information that has come out has suggested that women were really afraid that their names would be dragged through the mud if they opposed him or if they didn't go along with what he was proposing or, you know, with his suggestions. so that is a very scary thing. i think especially for a young
4:16 pm
unseasoned, you really want to go up against the most powerful person in hollywood, or one of the most powerful people. and there is evidence that, you know, maybe it can't be tied directly to weinstein but that when women did make a report, that suddenly the tabloids would be full of, you know, nasty information about them. and this certainly happened with ambra gutierrez, the subject of "the new yorker" piece. >> and you're right about how reputable media organizations may have been used to help him out. >> right. we don't have clear evidence of that, but what we do know is that weinstein was very deeply connected with journalists. at one point he had a magazine, talk magazine. he had journalists
4:17 pm
journalists on his staff and he just knew everyone. and so lloyd grove, a former gossip columnist now writing for "the daily beast" told a story today about how he was going to write about a weinstein divorce and how harvey called him up and reamed him out saying that he would punish him. so there's no question that he had a very punitive personality and that he was quite ruthless. >> i've got to ask you, margaret, were you one of the people that he connected with in the media? >> no, he was not reaching out to me. >> okay. just had to ask. >> fair question. >> margaret sullivan "the washington post," thanks for being with us. >> all right. take care. let's talk about the weather. >> yeah, we're in for a big change over the next day or so? >> well, considering where we were yesterday, 86 degrees and sunshine, warm and humid air, much more like summer, a lot more like
