When somebody is in a position of power, in any industry with high stakes, that person in a position of power as extensive power over those below him whose jobs and lives lay in the balance of said powerful man/woman.
Agreed though, I don't see this matching Spotlight, one of my favorite films ever. I'm sure a film about the current president will be made one day in the light of "All the President's Men" that could also have a shot at matching Spotlight. But it does seem doubtful this film could have the same impact as either of those two films.
It depends on who is involved I guess.

Nope, you're crazy. Never have I ever said not did I implied that I was siding with Weinstein. And if I did give that implication, that was not my intent.
My concerns was how the story will be presented because other than Weinstein's acts, there were people that turned a blind eye to things and the story was much more murky than what people may know. I highly doubt the hypocrisy of Hollywood will even be mentioned here because there is more than enough blame to go around on this one.

So, would you like to specify?

Yes. I was referring to Streep's character in the film. The Post was written rushed into production in order to capitalize on what many thought would be Hilary Clinton's presidential election. The majority of that movie focused on her character and portayed her as the one who fought to published the story when in reality, she simply just gave the go ahead.
