If legacy media didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all

Hollywood and its media partners may have abandoned any pretense of creativity, originality, or intelligent filmmaking, but at least it hasn’t given up on hypocrisy.

Take, for example, the brilliance of Variety, a publication dedicated to entertainment industry news and coverage. Variety is, like most companies associated with the film business, openly and proudly left-wing. As such, anytime those on the right, or even tangentially associated with the right, notice or say something about a movie or entertainment property, Variety leaps in to defend their political party.

Case in point? The difference in how they have treated the importance of “representation” in two prominent summer big-budget blockbusters.
