CNN Trashes Hillary Clinton-Inspired Drama Series ‘The Girls on the Bus’ About Female Journalists Covering Presidential Campaign
Breitbart ^ | 03/16/2024 | David NG

The new Max drama series The Girls on the Bus just got sideswiped by its corporate cousin, CNN.

Adapted from former New York Times reporter Amy Chozick’s memoir about covering Hillary Clinton’s ill-fated 2016 presidential campaign, the series puts feminism front and center by focusing on four fictional female journalists who are assigned to report on a presidential campaign..

While the show seems ripe for establishment media adulation — Hillary, the New York Times, girl-boss power, journalistic self-absorption — it has earned a surprising big-thumbs-down from CNN’s media critic Brian Lowry.

That’s sure to make Hillary angry. You won’t like Hillary when she’s angry.

That’s what occurred to me . I thought that they like to do cross promotion of other programming they are involved with.

This guy is going to be in trouble with his bosses for publicly criticizing their program about Hillary.

This pathological opus is like unto a horrible night terror, a demented carnival freak show, a tale from the crypt. Gives me the shivers just contemplating it, let alone viewing it.

Does the series lead in begin with a copy of the clip of her majesty being tossed into the van in 2016 ?

The reviewers cited are no doubt miffed that the series is telling it like it is, by portraying “journalists” in a bad light.

Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote a book about this: Shattered. It wasn't fiction, either.

Hillary video....

Remember, she is the inspiration to tens of millions of young girls and women who grew up as feminists who wanted to “persist” and succeed like her. Along with Ruth Bader Ginsberg she is a feminist icon for women who are in charge today in business, education and politics. When children are brought up by the woke state “village” everyone can point to her as the leader of the trend.

“Yes, I will obey.”
“That’s better.”

Actually, it was swiped from the 1973 book The Boys On The Bus, and adapted to the Hilliary campaign. The original was about the Nixon & McGovern campaign press corps.

“[She] rails against the sexist double standard applied to female reporters, including the media trope that they sleep with sources…except she does have a relationship with a press secretary that ends up crossing a line, so her speechifying falls on deaf ears.”
