I guess I'm supposed to be worked up by this, but I have a hard time caring about a bunch of rich people trying to eat each other.
Setting aside that multiple wrongs don't cancel each other out to make things right, what's worth being concerned about is that if this is something they're comfortable doing with Jeff Bezos, it's easy to conceive that they also do it to people with much less clout. https://theweek.com/speedreads/822652/ronan-farrow-says-national-enquirer-tried-blackmail
Yeah that's certainly fair. At the time, I was only aware of Bezos' allegations, and frankly was questioning whether we were getting the whole story. I knew catch and kill was a thing, but outright blackmail is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. I'm also amazed that their lawyer would be willing to do this, given that it seems pretty clear grounds to be disbarred.
