Artisanally-Crafted Narratives – VARIOUS OUTLETS
How come when the Oscars act sexist, it proves the country is sexist…?
The Academy Awards nominations were announced this week, and there was
pure humor to be had concerning the fortunes of the film “Barbie.” It
received eight nominations, but director Greta Gerwig and actress Margot
Robbie did not earn nods – but co-star Ryan Gosling was nominated for
Best Supporting Actor. The howls of gender injustice over this sexist
result were heard across the entertainment media, made more precious by
the fact they pointed out that this was directly addressed in the
storyline of the film.
Yes, the industry that loves to lecture us about living a proper life in
society could not even abide by its messaging. But many blamed this on
the US being sexist, despite audiences launching the film to become the
#1 film of the year. One would think a sexist nation would have led to
failure.
More perplexing was the need by some to invoke conservatism into this
formula, as if this had anything whatsoever to do with Hollywood’s
decision-making. At the Hollywood Reporter we were told, “Some
right-wingers seemed to celebrate the snubs.” (It needs to be pointed
out that we do not see anyone outraged by the snubs labeled as
“left-wingers.”) Meanwhile, at CNN, Sara Stewart was deeply impacted by
these nomination problems and went on to describe how the movie was so
warmly received by audiences. “Who didn’t love the movie, besides
reactionary right-wing dorks?”
Given that I took no enjoyment from this pink polemic of a picture, I
now need to adjust my online bios to reflect that I am now a right-wing
dork.
Blue-Anon – AXIOS
It would appear the absence of data impacted this report, so
alternatives were resorted to being used.
In an analysis of the after-effects of the stricter abortion laws going
into effect, Axios looked into the matter and found that stricter
abortion laws have led to more births. More dire, there was a sharp
increase in those births that were the result of rapes. Now, you might
be thinking that this is confusing since most of these laws have
carveout allowances for instances of rape, incest, and the mother’s life
being imperiled, and you would be in the proper position. So how does
Axios explain its claim of 65,000 additional rape births taking place?
Well…Axios guessed at it. This study is based on “Estimates” —
“projections” — “assumptions” – because it has no solid data to point
to, and it relied on information from years before the law even being
drawn up:
Of note: The research contained a lot of statistical assumptions since
sexual assaults are hard to measure accurately in surveys. The CDC and
Bureau of Justice Statistics data don't include state-level data, so
researchers turned to the FBI's most recent uniform crime reports, which
include rapes reported to law enforcement in 2019.
Also “Of Note” here – this research team was led by the medical director
of Planned Parenthood of Montana.
Presentation Paradox – NBC NEWS
The dastardly result of a law that ends up saving Hispanic lives!
There is so much going on in this report on the effects of the stricter
abortion law in Texas. Right at the top, we have the implication from
the network that more Hispanics giving birth is seen as a negative — a
curious position, given the sympathy for the Hispanics arriving here by
crossing the border.
Next, the report claims this law led to a rise in fertility rates when
what is shown is an increase in teen births, but that is just us being
nitpicky by following the science. Then we see two other details not
explained. One is how the teen birth rate for whites dropped in the same
time frame, so we have to wonder how this law somehow only impacted
Hispanic teens. The other is how much other factors affected the
numbers, as the rise in births was rather negligible, by only 1.2%:
Hispanic women faced more challenges in getting reproductive care,
including abortions. “We don’t see any other reason,” said Elizabeth
Gregory, the institute’s director.
Would the flood of arrivals crossing the border maybe have a
contributing factor to that slight uptick in births?
Pre-Written Field Reports – NBC NEWS
The way they are covering Chaya Raichik you would think she is running
for office.
Amidst all of the talk of DEI hiring practices at airlines and Boeing
coinciding with stories of various plane failures, it was understandable
that Libs Of TikTok would weigh in on the topic on her account. Less
understandable is why NBC News is so focused on the source behind the
account, Chaya Raichik. We covered earlier this week how another NBC
News hit piece was claiming she was inciting bomb threats on her
account. Now, she detailed how she had been contacted by another
reporter at the network over her posts about the plane affairs.
Showing a clear method of the already written article, Dave Ingram tells
Chaya he is “planning” on including her post, where she commented on
Virgin Atlantic featuring a Ru-Paul flight crew as a Virgin Atlantic
plane was grounded when a passenger spied bolts missing from a wing.
Ingram accused her of alleging DEI hiring was leading to safety
problems, something she did not actually say, but is certain to make it
into his piece…if not already there.
Reporting on the Mirror – FORBES
It’s just that true journalist work-stoppages have not been tried yet!
Over the past year, we can think of several times journalists have
staged strikes against their publications. The New York Times last year,
the Washington Post last month, and the Los Angeles Times last week.
Each one of these led to their management trimming jobs.
Undeterred, the union members of Forbes Magazine decided it was a wise
move to repeat this effort on their behalf, convinced that this time it
would work out for them.
Okay, so how well did this work out for them?
It is still a little early to say conclusively, but we are leaning
toward “unwell.”
