Why didn't Harvey Weinstein — writing his statement in response to the NYT exposé — check the lyrics of that Jay-Z song he purported to quote?
Does Weinstein not know how to use the internet? Writing just another one of my 50,000+ blog posts, I'd do a Google search if I were quoting a song lyric. I'd only quote from memory when absolutely sure I knew a line verbatim. Even to write something as securely familiar as "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind," I'd check to get the punctuation right.Weinstein, in the crucially important statement, wrote "Jay Z wrote in 4:44 ‘I’m not the man I thought I was, and I better be that man for my children.’ The same is true for me." The closest thing like that in the actual lyrics to the song is — amidst a great deal of bemoaning his infidelity — "And if my children knew / I don’t even know what I would do / If they ain’t look at me the same / I would prob’ly die with all the shame."
How could he make such a sloppy mistake? I think I know. Weinstein has people do things for him. I think he dictated the statement he wanted, throwing in the reference to the song, paraphrasing the general meaning, and somebody else wrote up the statement and assumed Weinstein knew what he was quoting. That was a terrible assumption. Why wouldn't this person check?!
How does a person get a job transcribing dictation for Weinstein and not have the caution and skill to check what's in quotation marks? All quotes should be perfect, down to the punctuation. And beyond that the text has Jay-Z using the ungrammatical "I better be that man" rather than "I'd better be that man"? If Weinstein is wrong about that, he's going to look racist — a white man interposing his idea of how a black man speaks. I'd protect my boss from any dangers like that. And I wouldn't just guess about whether or not there's a hyphen in "Jay-Z."
How big is the system of corruption around Weinstein? The Times exposé forces me to suspect that everyone who works with Weinstein is there because she/he understood and went along with his modus operandi. Who gets the job and who is rejected? Those who go along are complicit in a system that victimizes newcomers who either become complicit themselves or lose job opportunities.
Do the jobs go to those who are qualified at taking dictation or qualified at taking dick?

I appreciated the push to read the lyrics to "4:44." This has nothing to do with Weinstein, but this is some stunning male chauvinism:
I apologize for all the stillborns cause I wasn't presentAND: "I’m not the man I thought I was" sounds infected by "Rocket Man," so bandied about in the news lately.
Your body wouldn't accept it....
