And POOF it's gone! UK newspaper deletes Harvey Weinstein's defense of Roman Polanski

This is pathetic.

The Independent, based in London, was caught deleting an op-ed by Harvey Weinstein that defended fugitive Roman Polanski, arguing he “has served his time and must be freed”:

WOW the @Independent deleted this 2009 op-ed by Harvey Weinstein defending Roman Polanski. Good catch @nycsouthpaw

Do they not get how the internet works and someone would have a copy?

Although, it is embarrassing that Weinstein was able to get away with calling Polanski’s actions a “so-called crime.” No wonder they tried to rathole it:

As for Polanski’s time served, oh please:
