People openly blamed Tlaib w/o evidence for "letting the side down" instead, when actually she was adamantly pushing a straight democratic ticket & had overwhelmingly won her seat again. The way Harris et al went out of their way to alienate anyone remotely left & act entitled reminds me of this:

That you had at least one producer, and the screenwriter being so aware of how bad it was going to be, with the latter even managing to convince Hepburn to do extra scenes, indicates what an asshole the director was (who even said that *he* regretted it):
![Shepherd later said that he wanted to recast the role, "not because he [Rooney] didn't play the part well" but to have a Japanese actor play Mr. Yunioshi instead, though Edwards overruled him.[59] Shepherd later apologized for Rooney's casting and performance, saying, "If we could just change Mickey, I'd be thrilled with the [film]."[60] Although Axelrod expanded the role of Yunioshi in the screenplay compared to the novella, Edwards sought to use the character for comic relief and hired Rooney, his old roommate. Axelrod clashed with Edwards regarding the placement of Yunioshi in the film and convinced Hepburn to reshoot scenes for free in the hope that scenes featuring Yunioshi could be edited out, but was overruled by Edwards.[3] Edwards later stated he "would give anything to recast [Rooney]" and he "wished [he] had never done it" but stressed it was not something he could "undo".[60]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlpleb3jsylldx4kifwj6a2q/bafkreicvf5fe5euf47tsiqh6hglcxheu5uhzpz72t4mewhpeeaaiqnwda4@jpeg)

What you're going to see in regards to UK media coverage, if Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters are allowed to show up in Birmingham and commit and provoke violence, like they did in Amsterdam: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novembe...
![Media reporting
The UK's Sky News and Israel's Channel 12 were criticised for editing reports and deleting social media posts referencing the anti-Arab behaviour of Israeli fans.[25][24][75] Sky News removed references to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans tearing down a flag, even though the three men on video could be heard speaking Hebrew, and deleted a reference to Maccabi fans attacking locals. Channel 12 deleted a post about Maccabi Tel Aviv fans tearing down a Palestinian flag and having altercations with Muslim taxi drivers after the network faced backlash, including from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair, who asked: "Whose side is Channel 12 on?" on his Telegram channel.[76]
Dutch photographer Annet de Graaf filmed Maccabi supporters attacking Amsterdammers,[54][77][78] but many media outlets initially misreported that the video showed an "antisemitic" mob beating Israelis.[78][79][80] The New York Times attributed this to an error made by Reuters, who syndicated the footage.[81][82] Several media outlets issued a correction or clarification, including The Guardian,[83][84] The New York Times,[81][82] the BBC,[85] DW, and Tagesschau.[78][79][80]
The Electronic Intifada reported that the New York Times had cancelled a visual investigation by one of its Dutch reporters to reconstruct the moment-by-moment chronology of events in Amsterdam. In an email sent to senior Times editor Charlie Stadtlander, which was accidentally sent to Electronic Intifada, reporter Christiaan Triebert complained about the cancellation of the investigation and said that the U.S. newspaper's coverage had distorted events, such as the Israeli attacks against locals filmed by De Graaf. Triebert also voiced frustration that the video was removed after the Times issued its correction, when it could have been used to illustrate the actions of Israeli fans.[86][87]
Guardian columnist Owen Jones criticised media coverage of the events for failing to cover the Israeli supporters' be…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlpleb3jsylldx4kifwj6a2q/bafkreigmuudiu5gxybzvcpwmbbnlqcj6haming6xln3lojszx5jbozixgu@jpeg)

Checked, and the joke was that Corbyn wouldn't call him a Nazi officer, but a "passionate campaigner with legitimate concerns about Israel."

Randomly thought I'd look for that clip from the December 2th, 2019 edition of HIGNFY where Brooker makes a "joke" about the Holocaust and Labour, that didn't get a lot of laughs.

This tweet was re the French '22 election - where Dunt & others went batshit bc French left wingers, PoC & Muslims were justifiably hesitant about Macron, given his govt's racism - but it's something applicable to the overall centrist entitlement when the left rightly decides to stop taking abuse:
