广播网络在报道娱乐界人士时,其左翼偏见显而易见。那些利用自身名气行“善”的人会受到赞扬,而立场相反、倾向共和党的人则被贴上“有争议”的标签。媒体对女演员西德妮·斯威尼的过度反应,与他们对反犹说唱歌手麦克莱默的包庇态度,便是这种偏见最明显的体现。
The broadcast networks can easily demonstrate their leftist bias in the way they cover entertainers. Those who use their fame for "good" are praised, and those who are the opposite – who lean Republican – are "controversial." Nowhere was that more evident than how the press freaked out about actress Sydney Sweeney vs. how they covered for antisemitic rapper Macklemore.
自诩为共和党的斯威尼,总是被各大媒体置于“错误”的一方。去年,她为蓝色牛仔裤拍摄了一则颇具争议的广告,利用“好基因”(good genes)一词玩文字游戏。美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)警告称:“这种文字游戏被比作带有种族暗示的纳粹宣传”,并援引罗宾·兰达教授的观点,宣称该双关语具有种族主义色彩:“美国优生学运动在1900年至1940年的鼎盛时期,将‘好基因’的概念武器化,仅为白人至上主义提供正当性。”
Sweeney, who identified as aed Republican, keeps ending up on the "wrong" side of the networks. Last year, she made a provocative ad for blue jeans, making a pun with the word "good genes." ABC News warned: "The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertones," and then invoked professor Robin Landa proclaiming the pun was racist: "The American Eugenics Movement and its prime between 1900 and 1940 weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify white supremacism."
目前,斯威尼为一家名为Novig的体育预测市场拍摄了多则近乎裸体的广告。9月14日,《CBS晨间新闻》充当了女权主义的传声筒,离奇地声称该广告贬低了女子体育。阿德里安娜·迪亚兹宣称:“演员悉尼·斯威尼在一则挑衅性广告活动中的亮相引发了强烈反弹,尤其是来自女性运动员的批评。”她报道说,四届奥运会金牌得主、游泳运动员阿瑞安·泰特姆斯称该广告“是对每一位毕生致力于精进技艺的女性的当头一棒”。性感悉尼·斯威尼广告遭女性运动员强烈反弹显然,斯威尼的广告是针对那些很可能押注男子体育项目的男性观众。这一说法颇为荒谬。报道指出,斯威尼通过一篇Instagram帖子予以回应,展示了《ESPN杂志》“身体特辑”中多位运动员近乎裸体的形象。
Right now, Sweeney is featured in mostly naked s for a sports prediction market called Novig. On Sept. 14, "CBS Mornings" carried the feminist water, weirdly claiming the ad demeaned women’s sports. Adriana Diaz proclaimed, "Actor Sydney Sweeney`s appearance in a provocative ad campaign is drawing backlash, especially from female athletes." She reported the four-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ariarne Titmus called the ad "a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft." STEAMY SYDNEY SWEENEY AD DRAWS BACKLASH FROM FEMALE ATHLETES Clearly, Sweeney’s ad was directed at men who are likely to bet on men’s sports. It was a weird claim. They noted that Sweeney responded with an Instagram post displaying athletes appearing mostly naked in ESPN Magazine’s "Body Issue."
迪亚兹反驳道:“所以她在做这种类比,但人们对此真的非常愤怒……她本人并非运动员,而且她在物化女性——我是说,许多人这么认为。” 悉尼·斯威尼的挑衅性体育广告“强化了她已建立的形象”,尽管遭遇反弹:专家观点在广播网络中,斯威尼获得的负面报道比琳赛·克兰西更多,后者曾承认自己勒死了自己的三个孩子。在她的审判以无效审判告终后,广播网络的报道中有65%是正面的。
Diaz pushed back: "So she is making that comparison, but people are really upset about this …. She is not an athlete herself and she is objectifying women – I mean, many people believe." SYDNEY SWEENEY’S PROVOCATIVE SPORTS AD 'REINFORCES THE IMAGE SHE HAS ALREADY BUILT' DESPITE BACKLASH: EXPERT Sweeney drew more negative coverage on the broadcast networks than Lindsay Clancy, who admitted to strangling her own three children. After her trial ended in a mistrial, the broadcast network coverage was 65% positive.
斯威尼(Sydney Sweeney)也引发了比白人说唱歌手麦克莱莫尔(Macklemore,本名本·哈格蒂)更多的负面报道。麦克莱莫尔因激烈谈论以色列在加沙的所谓“种族灭绝”,被取消了几场歌手艾德·希兰(Ed Sheeran)演唱会的演出资格。9月15日,美国广播公司(ABC)的《世界新闻今晚》以希兰陷入“严重麻烦”作为头条新闻。
Sweeney also drew more negative coverage than the White rapper Macklemore – a stage name for Ben Haggerty – who was disinvited from several of performer Ed Sheeran’s concerts over his fervent talk of Israel’s alleged "genocide" in Gaza. On Sept. 15, ABC’s "World News Tonight" led the broadcast with "serious trouble" for Sheeran.
克雷格·卡顿(Craig Carton):“疯狂的人”憎恨悉尼·斯威尼,支持林赛·克兰西(Lindsay Clancy)主播大卫·穆尔(David Muir)说道:“我们今晚从正在发酵的政治反弹开始报道。多位表演者现已退出歌手艾德·希兰的美国巡演。此前,麦克莱莫尔因发表支持巴勒斯坦人的言论而被取消开场嘉宾资格。”ABC记者惠特·约翰逊(Whit Johnson)含糊地暗示,麦克莱莫尔的歌曲《欣德大厅》(Hind’s Hall)是“他关于大学校园亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动的一首歌”。照例,这首歌宣扬“去他妈的警察”,并暗示警察是种族主义者:“一直以来都是关于金钱和你皮肤的颜色 / 但白人至上主义终于暴露无遗 / 高喊‘自由巴勒斯坦’直到他们最终回家。”歌词中抨击以色列的殖民主义、种族隔离和种族灭绝,并攻击“纳克巴”(Nakba)——这是伊斯兰主义者用来指代1948年建立以色列时“驱逐巴勒斯坦人”的术语。
CRAIG CARTON: 'CRAZY PEOPLE' HATE SYDNEY SWEENEY, SUPPORT LINDSAY CLANCY Anchor David Muir intoned: "We begin tonight with the political backlash playing out. Multiple performers now dropping out of singer Ed Sheeran's U.S. concert tour. It comes after Macklemore was removed as the opening act over remarks he made in support of Palestinians." ABC reporter Whit Johnson vaguely suggested Macklemore’s song "Hind’s Hall" was "a song he wrote about the pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses." In typical fashion, the song touts "f--- the police" and implies they’re racist: "Has always been about dollars and the color of your pigment / but White supremacy is finally on blast / Screaming ‘Free Palestine’ 'til they're home at last." The lyrics include bashing Israel for colonialism, apartheid and genocide and attacking the "Nakba" – the Islamist term for "displacing the Palestinians" in creating Israel in 1948.
在因支持巴勒斯坦立场而被踢出艾德·希兰(Ed Sheeran)的巡演后,麦可莫(Macklemore)变本加厉。麦可莫的行径极其荒谬,他一边为支持哈马斯的抗议活动叫好,一边又称美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)为“恐怖组织”。
MACKLEMORE DOUBLES DOWN AFTER GETTING KICKED OFF ED SHEERAN TOUR AFTER PRO-PALESTINE STANCE Macklemore’s schtick is so upside-down that he’s hailing pro-Hamas protests and then calling the immigration police of ICE a "terrorist organization."
在《PBS新闻一小时》(PBS News Hour)节目中,他们请来了《纽约时报》音乐产业记者本·西萨里奥(Ben Sisario),他以同样模糊的态度谈到了针对麦可莫的指责:“他几年前还发布过一首关于战争的抗议歌曲,在歌中他指责以色列实施种族灭绝,并表达了对美国和纽约学生抗议者的声援。所以,他的立场早已广为人知。”麦可莫从格莱美获奖到“解放巴勒斯坦”的演唱会言论,有着悠久的争议历史。西萨里奥试图辩称,体育场馆更愿意接纳有反犹太主义倾向的说唱歌手坎耶·韦斯特(Kanye West),并总结道:“我还认为这具体关乎加沙战争的政治议题,以及对以色列在战争中的立场和行动的批评是否被视为可容忍的。”PBS经常将以色列抨击为全球公敌。
On the "PBS News Hour," they brought on New York Times music-industry reporter Ben Sisario, who brought a similar vagueness about the Macklemore smears: "He also has a protest song that he released a couple of years ago, again about the war, and in it he accuses Israel of genocide, and he shows his solidarity with student protesters in the U.S. and in New York. So, his position has been widely known." MACKLEMORE'S LONG HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY FROM GRAMMY WINS TO 'FREE PALESTINE' CONCERT REMARKS Sisario tried to argue stadiums were more willing to allow antisemitic rapper Kanye West, and concluded: "I also think it is specifically about the political issue of the war in Gaza, and whether criticism of Israel's stance and Israel's actions in that war is considered allowable." PBS routinely blasts Israel as a global pariah.
可怜的希兰本可以与许多非政治化的流行艺人一起巡演——比如《美国好声音》或《美国偶像》的一些近期获胜者——但他却选择了一位靠忏悔自己的“白人特权”和抨击白人来建立职业生涯的白人说唱歌手。此人被《每日电讯》(Daily Wire)联合创始人本·夏皮罗(Ben Shapiro)称为“音乐界的科林·卡佩尼克”(Colin Kaepernick),其所作所为全是为了被左派捧为“社会正义”的捍卫者。
Poor Sheeran could have toured with many apolitical pop acts – like some recent winners of "The Voice" or "American Idol" – but he chose a White rapper who built his career on confessing his "White privilege" and trashing White people, a man Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro calls "the Colin Kaepernick of music," all about being celebrated by the left as a "social justice" champion.
希兰感叹道:“在我的职业生涯中,我一直努力不充当任何形式的政治评论员,因为我希望我的音乐和演出关乎团结而非分裂,关乎人性而非政治。”针对这一争议,麦克莱莫尔宣布将于10月在都柏林、巴黎和伦敦举办“自由巴勒斯坦巡演”。这实在令人不齿,因为他的巴勒斯坦盟友在2023年10月7日于加沙边境附近的“亲和平”诺瓦音乐节上杀害了378名无辜民众,并劫持了其他人质。这只是那次恐怖袭击中他们总共杀害的1200人的一部分。
CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Sheeran lamented, "I’ve tried in my career to not be a political commentator of any kind because I want my music and shows to be about unity, not division, about humanity, not politics." In response to the controversy, Macklemore announced a "Free Palestine Tour," scheduled for Dublin, Paris and London in October. It’s pretty gross, considering his Palestinian allies murdered 378 innocent people and took others hostage at the "pro-peace" Nova Music Festival near the Gaza border on Oct. 7, 2023. That was part of the 1,200 they killed overall in the terror attack.
