Ronan Farrow took his story about Harvey Weinstein to The New Yorker after NBC killed it, but he was a freelance writer at the time and I assume NBC had no legal claims to his work or they would've sued. But that does not mean there aren't ways to get the story out--even if you have to recreate the work product on your own. Ronan went on to write a book about NBC called "Catch and Kill" that exposed way more about NBC than I'm sure they ever wanted. Sometimes killing a story is worse than having it get out. I hope that happens here....
