Former NBC News Producer Says Network Guilty of “Massive Breach of Journalistic Integrity” on Ronan Farrow’s Harvey Weinstein Exposé
The producer who worked with Ronan Farrow on his blockbuster reporting into the alleged sexual misconduct of Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein told the New York Times that NBC News actively sidelined the story, prompting Farrow to take it to the New Yorker last year to get it published. Producer Rich McHugh, who recently left NBC’s investigative unit, called the network’s handling of Farrow’s reporting, which originated at the network, “a massive breach of journalistic integrity.”

Does Andrew Gillum Really Have a Shot?
On Tuesday, Florida Democrats nominated Andrew Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, as their candidate for governor. Gillum, who is African-American, ran an impressive come-from-behind campaign to defeat former congresswoman Gwen Graham; in the fall, he will face Rep. Ron DeSantis, a Trump admirer who kicked off the general election by saying that voters shouldn’t “monkey this up” by voting for Gillum. Meanwhile, Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson is in a surprisingly competitive race for Senate with Republican governor Rick Scott.

Colin Kaepernick’s Collusion Case Against the NFL Allowed to Proceed
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s collusion case against the NFL will proceed after an arbitrator appointed by the league and the players’ association ruled that Kaepernick had produced sufficient evidence that NFL owners colluded to keep him out of the league following his trailblazing protests during the national anthem. Kaepernick filed a grievance last fall against the NFL alleging that the league made a coordinated effort to keep him out of the league following the 2016 season. During Kaepernick’s last season in the league, following two full seasons as the San Francisco 49ers starter, the then-28-year-old quarterback started 11 games after starting the season on the bench, before vanishing from the league altogether. This upcoming season will be his second out of the league.

Cynthia Nixon Debated Famously Angry Andrew Cuomo and Got Smeared as Too Angry to Be Governor
When New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo debated progressive challenger Cynthia Nixon on Wednesday night, the prevailing vibe was tense. Nixon, who is running against Cuomo for the Democratic nomination ahead of the Sept. 13 primary, called the governor a “corrupt, corporate Democrat” ill-equipped to battle the “corrupt, corporate Republican in the White House,” as Cuomo has promised to do. Later, he accused the actress of living “in the world of fiction,” while he lives “in the world of fact.”

South Korea’s Best-Ever Soccer Player Faces Two Years in the Military If He Loses on Saturday
On Monday, Tottenham Hotspur pulled off a resounding 3-0 victory over Manchester United in a battle between two of the Premier League’s most storied clubs. Son Heung-min, Tottenham’s 26-year-old superstar forward, did not participate. Instead, he was on a pitted field some 7,300 miles away in Indonesia, captaining South Korea in the Asian Games quarterfinal against Uzbekistan. These quadrennial Games are not one of soccer’s marquee tournaments. By rule, squads are inexperienced, as each team is only allowed three players over the age of 23. Of the 24 nations competing this year, 16 have never appeared in a World Cup. But for Son, the tournament represents the most important competition of his life. Should he and South Korea fail to win it all, Son will have to enlist in the military and serve for at least 21 months during the prime of his ascendant athletic career.
