Ned shared this on twitter & it’s quite a read. I always knew it could be gross but it’s awfulto see it laid out so plainly :(https://www.rollingstone.com/country/news/inside-country-radios-secret-history-of-sexual-harassment-w515439

You guys realize tv shows are not the singular product of their stars, right― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, January 17, 2018 4:48 AM (one hour ago) Like, these are collaborative things. I don’t really think there’s tons to be gleaned from picking apart how his show was put together― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, January 17, 2018 4:49 AM (one hour ago)

who are you addressing
(and, though I similarly don't see that it's a fruitful line in this thread, since you brought it up: which show are you talking about that Aziz acts in and is not the co-creator, executive producer, co-showrunner, primary writer and sometimes director of?)
[there are 39 teleplay credits for Master Of None across 20 episodes; Aziz has 18, Yang has 15. He's directed 30% of the episodes.]

ya Master of None was just as much of an 'auteur' show as Louis C.K.'s thing

Good (as usual) piece by Julianne Escobedo Shepherd:https://jezebel.com/babe-what-are-you-doing-1822114753?rev=1516127284762
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 16 January 2018 21:39 (six years ago) link
^^ That Shepherd piece is excellent:
Reporting on sexual violence and misconduct is an incredibly delicate undertaking that requires a working understanding about how best to do it. At its most basic level, this means that reporters must be careful not to re-traumatize subjects, which includes consideration of the ways that their reports will be received
...gets to the weird grodiness of the Babe article - exploiting trauma rather than reporting on it.
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 16 January 2018 23:20 (six years ago) link
Yeah that definitely does agood job of expanding on misgivings abt the babe piece expressed upthread
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 16 January 2018 23:33 (six years ago) link
The Babe piece is so surreal. It's a piece of gossip that they expanded during conversation. I hate it so much because it's making men all over be total assholes and terrible in all the ways they supposedly are against. I am still super bothered by the completely immature wine critique.

Shepherd piece is great, best point of access to this particular branch of the story imo

Here's the full email the https://t.co/YZ14Jca6FS reporter who wrote the Aziz Ansari story sent when asked to go on HLN with @TVAshleigh. It is really something.https://t.co/qTca5xA9m0 pic.twitter.com/usZBm0KnIr— Max Tani (@maxwelltani) January 17, 2018
so far, not too shabby
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 21:31 (six years ago) link
Props to whichever editor wrote the headline for that, hard to get a concept like "Read the email the writer behind the Aziz Ansari sexual misconduct story wrote slamming an HLN anchor who criticized her" into just 20 words.
― mick signals, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 21:37 (six years ago) link
tbh i have never heard of HLN until that tweet

maybe not *too* shabby but still: pretty shabby i’m surprised she didn’t include “pantsuit” and “chunky heels” in her ad hominems, jfc

HLN is the channel next to CNN on cable, no? CNN Headline News?

"Ashleigh, someone who I am certain nobody under the age of 45 has heard of, I hope the 500 retweets on the single news write up made that burgundy lipstick, bad highlights, secondwave feminist has-been really relevant for a little while,"
Seriously?
― treeship 2, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
A world where a putatively feminist journalist can’t see the problem in attacking another woman for her age and appearance is a world I no longer understand. And I am only 28.
― treeship 2, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 23:01 (six years ago) link
there's a lot of light between 22 and 28

using it is one thing, but what is the meaning in this context.
― Dat Login was the dname u doofus (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 18 January 2018 00:01 (six years ago) link
The entire email is embarrassing but all I could picture at the end was the Hulk Hogan movie so it lent a certain ending flourish to an already terrible email.
― Yerac, Thursday, 18 January 2018 00:09 (six years ago) link
it's not that obscure a phrase? maybe you're just really into that movie.

Ha! I think I have never heard anyone ever use that phrase non-ironically. She should've ended with Cowabunga!

Whoops that wasn't a word. I don't even know what I mean. I am so threadbare from reading about the gymnastics trial.
― Yerac, Thursday, 18 January 2018 00:57 (six years ago) link
I think the email probably reflects the writer’s ideology just fine. She’s not young or naive she just thinks differently from people we’d usually think of as progressive. She probably sees, in Ashleigh Banfield, an image of privilege and thinks she’s “punching up” and that’s what you’re supposed to do.
― treeship 2, Thursday, 18 January 2018 01:31 (six years ago) link
The email is again indicative of Babe maybe not being a mature or credible publication for breaking stories on sexual assault, or perhaps not thinking through their material as much as their sources might require
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 18 January 2018 01:35 (six years ago) link
Right. Banfield should have attacked the websote and the journalist in the first place, not “Grace” who is just someone who was mistreated (by Ansari) and then exploited (by Babe).

Lol it’s true. That might be the sleaziest and most pointless reveal of this entire episode.

But i think it was Banfield who first brought those out in the open.
