ABC Falls All Over Itself in Praise of Jodie Foster’s ‘Courage’
In spite of the fact the she stumbled and fumbled for words in an inarticulate rambling, ABC is falling all over itself praising her ‘courage’ for ‘coming out’ during her Golden Globe speech. Proving what? Proving that ABC is just as agenda driven as Fox News. Proving that its interest in promoting gay marriage is not just a part of its corporate identity but a major part of it.
Look, I couldn’t care less about someone’s sexual preferences. Frankly, such is between them and God. What I don’t appreciate is the lamentable fact that for ABC it seems the overarching interest in everything they air.
So my question for ABC (and its defenders) is – just exactly how is such agenda driven ‘journalism’ any different at all from the agenda driven ‘journalism’ of Fox News (which is widely and rightly derided PRECISELY because it IS agenda driven)?
ABC is Fox News, with a different aim. That’s all. Nothing more. And certainly nothing less.
At this point, really, how much courage does it take to come out in Hollywood?
I didn’t see the speech and don’t care to, but it sounds to me like it’s getting hyped just because … which is really lame. The comparison to Fox “News” is perfectly apt.
