I don’t think I’ve ever seen Deadline pull an about-face *this* abruptly. Matt Damon’s lawyers must’ve REALLY got in that ass, lol. pic.twitter.com/NnuwWjRsD0

Now there's a social media manager that doesn't know how to summarize.

I mean... also true tbh. Both!

Given that Deadline is such an industry mouthpiece, I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional.

When a post has the tags `flop` and `matt damon` and damon isn't the flop in the situation 😮

Matt Damon is one of that can be so right on some things, and so wrong on others.

Garbage man who has a broken clock.

Some of the main industry publications have published some very suspect articles throughout these strikes. The bias is so obvious

AMPTP members have stake in some of these publications, we’re all gonna have to consider the sources the info we’ll see being reported as this goes on.

the internet/ontd is about to get a crash course in media literacy™

One of my friends is a teacher and she’s become a strong advocate for adding media literacy to the curriculum and I don’t blame her.

he has always been pro union

Yeah I remember standing up for teachers a few years ago I think in Boston. His mom was a teacher too and there with him.

[just444]

he and Ben got way overpaid for 'Air' and they shared the profits with everyone in the production

Yeah I remember the screenwriter saying he got paid well which he wasn't expecting.

When you see who owns them, it's very easy to see why they're doing it.

[headcaseheidi]

they did the same thing with WGA

[sweet_ali]

I feel bad that I initially fell for the Kim K propaganda.
