Atlanta Newspaper demands retraction on Richard Jewell’s portrayal of journalist

[lollapoe]

Wow, "Richard Jewell" depicts Kathy Scruggs - a real Atlanta Journal Constitution reporter - sleeping with an FBI agent to land a scoop about the '96 Olympic bombing.

But there's no evidence it happened, and Scruggs died in 2001 and cannot defend herself. https://t.co/47KhEZoBsb

t’s a basic misunderstanding of feminism as pious, sexlessness. It happens a lot to women; we’re expected to be one-dimensional if we are to be considered feminists.

Oh come on. I so hate when actresses are in sexist films and then try to talk about the stupid shit they have to do as "empowering".

Also the " female journalist has sex with sources" is such a tired exhausting trope. This is extra depressing because it's based on a real woman.

And on a final note Clint Eastwood is an abusive piece of shit and the fact that he is still working and has a lucrative career even in his old age is a damn shame.

Her full quote, that another user posted on page 3, is even worse.

She’s an idiot and I don’t feel bad at all for thinking Booksmart was just ok.
