Rolling Stone Busted for Trashing a Conservative Movie Its Reviewer Didn't Watch
P.J. Media ^ | June 13, 2022 | Athena Thorne

That’s embarrassing! Rolling Stone, already famous for its politically motivated lying, has just been caught faking it again, this time for trashing a conservative movie its reviewer didn’t even watch.

The movie in question is What Is a Woman, a deep dive by conservative commentator Matt Walsh into the definition of “woman” in the age of transgender mania. I haven’t gotten a chance to watch it yet, but here’s the trailer:

The Daily Wire, Walsh’s employer and the film’s producer, sent free streams of the documentary to various media outlets to help promote it in an effort to garner reviews and buzz. Rolling Stone was one of those outlets, and it published a hit piece on Friday. The “review,” titled “Why Are Social Media Companies Taking Ad Money From a Right-Wing Transphobic Doc?” was an attempt to intimidate social media platforms into refusing to run ads for the documentary. Here is the first paragraph:

The author of the piece is Brooklyn-based Moises Mendez II,,, Mendez didn’t watch a single second of What Is a Woman?

Filmmaker Walsh exposed the phony freelancer on Twitter. Walsh explained that The Daily Wire could track each individual screener (a link to watch the movie for free) it sent out, and he attached screenshots proving that Mendez was critiquing something he had never seen.

That’s expected pf the leftist. Judges are supposed to go into a hearing unbiased and ready to hear arguments with an open mind. However, RBG would often sleep through the arguments, not even attempting to appear independent.

It’ll change her name to something like National Lampoon and then they can just tell jokes and laugh it off until everybody they were just kidding around.

I really want to know when Rolling Stone actually became an authoritative news source? I always considered it kind of a gossip, entertainment rag, that wrote like playboy... stylistically it must have been a trend.

Never read it much.

They mostly make everything up anyhow.
That’s why it’s called fake/propagandist news.

I guess turnabout is fair play. Most of us Freepers criticize Rolling Stone despite having never read it for themselves!

Speaking for myself, I haven't read the rag in 40 years. It was the issue just after the John Lennon assassination.

He/she is exempt from watching the movie because it would be a triggering event for him/her. And to require him/her to watch it simply to write a review would constitute workplace harassment or hostile workplace or something. So there!

Yes. Nothing has changed except for increased hubris.

"Transphobic". You have to love how the left twists words into weapons, just like they weaponize everything else, I suppose.

"Phobic", from the Greek word for "fear". These mad vermin are fully aware that what those of us who still possess enough reason to tell a man from a woman do not feel any "fear" of them.

What we feel, rather, is disgust. The Greek for that is "ai̱día" (pronounced "eye-dee-ah"). We are not 'transphobic', but rather 'transaidiac'.

Mendez is dishonest and unethical - he has no credibility.

Proudly binary. I recognize only he/she pronoun but I don’t know whether Moises is a male or female name or used by both like the names Kim, Kelly, Evelyn, Loren, etc.

I’m not afraid of homosexuals either, but I am disgusted by their sexual perversions. So maybe that makes me homoaidiac, too.

So I’ve seen the trailer now, but I’m trying to find out where I can view this movie. Do I need to subscribe somewhere? Any idea how much it costs?
