Deranged Rhino Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Just got back from Bombshell — holy jeeze. No fan of Fox or Ailes, but a couple things stood out: 1) The entire first 40 min are all about Trump vs Kelly, and proved beyond all doubt that the liberal establishment in Hollywood (of which Roach is a key figure) still do not understand why Trump won. They still don’t get Trump attacks people, not gender or race. People. 2020 will be hilarious. 2) For some reason (“some reason”) in a movie about Kelly exposing sexual harassment in corporate America (they keep hounding that it’s not just news, but all of corporate America), they end the movie without even mentioning her move to NBC. Not even in a title card at the end. As a writer, that’s what we call a perfect bookend opportunity. It provided Roach a chance to drill home the point that even after she left one cesspool, the next one was just the same. It was laid on a tee for them to smash — but didn’t. Think that’s not politically motivated / missing the point of the story entirely? Think Jay Roach’s LONG history making a mint for NBC (and himself through them) didn’t play into that decision? Virtue signaling hypocrites abound. 3) A movie about women being harassed by powerful men was written, directed, and produced by all men. Minus Theron who produced. Funny that. 4) Despite exposing Ailes and Shine (and O’Rielly and more), Roach made the Murdoch kids (who will inherit the empire and who are every bit as bad as their pops and deep deep DEEP establishment figures) sympathetic heroes. Again, what’s the agenda for Roach? 5) They include Stephanopolous, but only his voice. George and Jay are old friends. 1 3
B-Man Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 JOHN TIERNEY: Journalists Against Free Speech. Free speech is no longer sacred among young journalists who have absorbed the campus lessons about “hate speech”—defined more and more broadly—and they’re breaking long-standing taboos as they bring “cancel culture” into professional newsrooms. They’re not yet in charge, but many of their editors are reacting like beleaguered college presidents, terrified of seeming insufficiently “woke.” Most professional journalists, young and old, still pay lip service to the First Amendment, and they certainly believe that it protects their work, but they’re increasingly eager for others to be “de-platformed” or “no-platformed,” as today’s censors like to put it—effectively silenced. These mostly younger progressive journalists lead campaigns to get conservative journalists fired, banned from Twitter, and “de-monetized” on YouTube. They don’t burn books, but they’ve successfully pressured Amazon to stop selling titles that they deem offensive. They encourage advertising boycotts designed to put ideological rivals out of business. They’re loath to report forthrightly on left-wing censorship and violence, even when fellow journalists get attacked. They equate conservatives’ speech with violence and rationalize leftists’ actual violence as . . . speech. It’s a strange new world for those who remember liberal journalists like Nat Hentoff, the Village Voice writer who stood with the ACLU in defending the free-speech rights of Nazis, Klansmen, and others whose views he deplored—or who recall the days when the Columbia Journalism Review stood as an unswerving advocate for press freedom. Well, to be fair, journalists were mostly in favor of free speech and civil liberties in general when it was communists and the like who were being targeted. Now that it’s communists and the like who are doing the targeting, their principles are slipping. Or perhaps being revealed as nonexistent. . 1
