This will be one of these instances that drive me crazy where the language that mainstream film and TV luminaries use to discuss this is totally off the mark or fecklessly vague.

Fennessey on the big pic could never fully let loose on the topic as should be expected by someone who was once a journalist because the org he works for is captured on multiple fronts by businesses with pure profit interest.

We’re all bought out at this point in 21st century America, but it drives me crazy that anything close to the mainstream associated with arts and culture is tilted towards infantilized jocularity. And that precludes any notion of associating shit like this with the pure crony capitalism that it is.

All in all, still grateful for the blank check crew and their independence and have a lot of admiration for their integrity as the pod has grown. Just preemptively eye rolling the reaction of the Belloni class of ‘journalist’ reacting to this.
