Two key phrases assist clarify the Legacy Media in 2025.
Projection and narrative.
The latter refers back to the storylines reporters implement with their work. Something President Donald Trump does or says is framed within the worst mild potential, for instance.
It’s why CNN beclowned itself by giving a sympathetic interview to a cartel member.
Nice piece as all the time @NolteNC. To all progressives, in case you watch @CNN, you’re siding with gang members and terrorists.

It additionally explains the Legacy Media’s endless assault on J.Ok. Rowling. The girl who helped a era of children love studying along with her “Harry Potter” collection is now the media’s go-to villain.
Why? The progressive creator isn’t on board with the whole trans agenda. That’s her crime. She’s been the recipient of adverse information protection since she first began talking out in 2020.
It’s gotten worse of late as Max’s “Harry Potter” TV collection reboot comes nearer to actuality. She’s an govt producer on the collection, and understandably so.
There’s no boy wizard with out her.
It’s why media shops questioned if Rowling would insert an “anti-trans” message into the upcoming “Harry Potter” TV collection. That was Deadline’s huge fear mere days in the past.
Though she who should not be named is closely concerned within the upcoming Harry Potter collection, Warner Bros. is distancing itself from her views.
Sure, a journalist in contrast Rowling to her ebook collection’ monstrous villain.
Truthful. Balanced. Reliable. Oh, and the story can also be inaccurate.
HBO Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys advised The City podcast with Matthew Belloni that the creator is entitled to her “private, political opinions.”
“If you wish to debate her, you’ll be able to go on Twitter.”
Bloys spoke widespread sense. He didn’t distance the corporate from Rowling. He handled her like an grownup. That’s all.
Right here’s the place the projection is available in.
Liberal journalists know the way progressive scribes inject their private, political opinions” into many tales of late. Their projection assumed Rowling would do the identical if given the possibility.
Besides she’s not excited about something above and past telling Harry Potter tales.

Now, Rowling is making it clear she has little interest in firing a “Harry Potter” co-star whose views don’t align with hers.
Paapa Essiedu, who will play Professor Severus Snape within the collection, signed an open letter asking UK’s leisure trade to “decide to defending the trans neighborhood.” The letter comes after the UK Supreme Court docket decreed that trans ladies aren’t technically women-women.
Leisure staff routinely blacklist those that don’t align with their world view. Simply ask James Woods and Kevin Sorbo, two outstanding examples of this mindset.
So, certainly, Rowling will use her clout to sack Essiedu, proper?
“I don’t have the ability to sack an actor from the collection and I wouldn’t train it if I did. I don’t imagine in taking away individuals’s jobs or livelihoods as a result of they maintain legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.”
One other Legacy Media narrative, crushed. Anticipate many extra anti-Rowling tales within the weeks and months to come back.
Editor’s Be aware: It’s a brutal time to be an unbiased journalist, but it surely’s by no means been extra mandatory given the sorry state of the company press. Should you’re having fun with Hollywood in Toto, I hope you’ll contemplate leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.
