The Huffington Post‘s David Moye reports that Matt Groening made an appearance on Saturday at this year’s Comic-Con. Matt related that 21st Century Fox executives had directed the series’ writers to go easier in their portrayal of Fox News. Apparently the segment that included the disclaimer that they were “not racist, but No. 1 with racists” was a stretch too far for the suits. There may be some pushback from Matt, though, considering that during his presentation he got fired up enough to lead the crowd in a chant of “Lock him up! Lock him up!” Gosh, what could have inspired that?!?
We at San Diego Free Press love watching all kinds of video. Those short visual stories entertain, inform, and agitate in a way completely different from the written word.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
