Tag: batman v supeman: dawn of justice

In an interview, Snyder described Batman’s hatred for Superman as
“finding reinforcement of those feelings in the media.” So Snyder
employed a supporting cast of political pundits who expand Batman v
Superman into a kind of meta-media commentary: Anderson Cooper, Charlie
Rose, and Nancy Grace are among those crossing the line from TV news to
Hollywood fantasy. They frequently, brazenly blur the distinction
between fact and fiction, objectivity and venality, mendacity and truth.
This has been going on at least since the 1990s, and it still is a
problem for both journalism and Hollywood (Nancy Grace, Lawrence
O’Donnell, and Dr. Drew Pinsky popped up last week in Midnight Special).
Soledad O’Brien and Neil deGrasse Tyson also appear in Batman v
Superman, along with Andrew Sullivan, seen shouting, “Every act is a
political act!” That may be so (Snyder’s a sly dog), but pundits who
don’t stick to their day-jobs lose credibility.
