Lois Lane is the reason that for a long time I wanted to be a reporter. I do believe there are still reporters like this. but they are either silenced, or more prone to being in fiction...
And then McCarthy simply labelled Lois and her colleagues "enemies of the people," while their higher-ups in the media conglomerates instructed them to add more quotes from pro-concentration tender care camp sources to their articles, "for balance."
A big part of the problem is that you can count Lois Lane's actual colleagues on one hand. So many of the rest gave up being reporters in favor of being activist and political operators.
I really hope this book addresses that a huge reason its so easy for the current administration to demonize the press is that they have been such bad stewards of public trust for so long.
seems like most who the current administration demonizes are accused of not being activist or political enough by people who disagree with the demonizing
This was my favourite DC book in YEARS and I think the single best comic that DC published in 2019.
I love everything Greg Rucka does honestly and I think his work is some of the best content DC has ever produced and this series stands out as being one of my favourite things Rucka has written
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
