Absolutely trashed by the website History vs Hollywood


I really enjoy what they try to do on this site. It’s a shame but not surprising that the series is so slanted. The trailer looked good. I certainly didn’t agree with Phyllis Schafflty at all, but she was a savvy political operator in her day. She’d have eaten these media whores like Sarah Palin or Nancy Pelosi for lunch.
Anyway here’s the link:

"The altering of the Phyllis Schlafly debate against Brenda Feigen-Fasteau in Episode 5 is one of the most egregious rewritings of history that we've seen in the near two decades we've been fact-checking true story movies and TV shows. "

The Hulu series is another example of producers and a director lying through their teeth about an actual public person, to advance their liberal agenda.

Seems so. Again, I'm pretty damn liberal. But this was a missed opportunity to examine how the ERA failed and how Phyllis Schlafly(?) outmaneuvered them. A lesson in failure if you will. She was a crazy person, but crazy like a fox.

30 states ratified ERA by the end of 1973. But what explains the fact that only 5 more did by 1977, and no more after that? Also 5 states rescinded their ratification, by the 1982 deadline. The ratification of this amendment seems to have been embraced very enthusiastically by the people of the United States, but shortly after, there was a dramatic change in wind direction. Both friends and foes, have largely attributed this to Phyllis Schlafly, love her or hate her.

That website has a conservative slant. I first noticed it on their piece on Vice, the Dick Cheney movie.

reply

Reality has no slant. Hollywood has a Democrap slant. Conservatives have higher standards.

reply

Conservatives are a bunch of squares that hate art.
You hate Hollywood but you consume it.

reply

And that's it? Didn't see Vice, looked as pretentious as The Big Short.

reply

If you find those movies pretentious, I don't want to know what you think of A24 films.

reply

Trying to call me lowbrow or something? I've seen a few A24 flicks. Liked some, didn't care for others.

Pelosi is smart otherwise she would not be Speaker of the U.S. House again (to date she is the only woman of either party) or remain in office. Donald Trump WAS successfully impeached in the House.

Palin is a nobody Her 'Sarahpac' folded Her defamation suit against the New York Times just because she did not like what they said was dismissed. And she also keeps parting ways with Fox News even if on 'amicable terms' Uhh yeah. If she's not in the spotlight she's not able to get attention for the sake of it.

reply

"... Donald Trump WAS successfully impeached in the House."

Yeah, that'll teach him.

reply

I think most people believe that Impeachment is a conviction for some type of crime.
IT IS NOT.

IT
IS
NOT.

Research it.
