CBS Braces for Chaos as The New Yorker Prepares to Publish Les Moonves #MeToo Shocker

Share

Six months ago I was told that the New Yorker and maybe the New York Times were working on #metoo pieces about CBS chairman Les Moonves.

Every few weeks there was a whisper one of the stories was coming. Then there was silence again.

Now Kim Masters reports that The New Yorker piece by Ronan Farrow is about to hit the world. The New Yorker website will probably crash. CBS stock is already down.

Is the story real? Or is just part of the corporate nuclear war between Moonves and Shari Redstone? Stay tuned…
