#medialiteracy #mediajustice @ABCNetwork CAST SEAN F*CKING SPICER ON @DancingABC. In #RealityBitesBack I exposed how #realityTV functions as backlash against gender+racial justice & social progress. Corporate media are largely responsible for POTUS 45. Now the cycle continues 1/3
2/3 Here's my 2017 piece on Sean Spicer's Holocaust denialism, and what I feared it foreshadowed from 45's administration. I didn't want to be right.

I was.

And now Spicer'll hoof it on @DancingABC, @ABCNetwork letting him rehab his image medium.com/the-establishm…
#medialiteracy
3/3 Corporate media have immense power to shape our lives, from personal beliefs to public policy and governance. Yet @ABCNetwork is choosing to profit off Holocaust denier/facist enabler Sean Spice... just as @nbc was responsible for making Trump POTUS. bitchmedia.org/article/nbc-an…
4/4 To understand ABC casting Sean Spicer on #DTWS, and to deep-dive into reality tv as backlash against gender and racial justice (inc. in-depth analysis of white supremacy, misogyny, and Trump's harassing behavior on #TheApprentice), see realitybitesbackbook.com

5. @ABCNetwork crossed the line casting Sean Spicer on @DancingABC. His reign as Press Secretary was full of documented, egregious lies, Holocaust denial, and bald hostility to press freedom. This. Is. Not. Normal.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh

1. Welp, so much for #civility: LET'S MAKE THIS GUY FAMOUS. Last night, at a French bistro in NYC, I got into it with this old white man in an American flag t-shirt who loudly "joked" to the waitress, "I'm going to tell Trump to deport you, hahaha, I'll tell Trump to deport you!"
2. I said (in a firm, calm voice), "Sir, that isn't funny and it's not ok. Don't joke about deporting people," that his waitress didn't deserve that treatment. He began screaming at me, "IT WAS A JOKE!" I said it wasn't funny but dangerous, that he shouldn't talk to ppl like that
3. Mr Civility, screaming, staring me down, irate: "DON'T TALK TO ME! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK TO ME! WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD TALK TO ME!?"

Me: "Well, don't threaten to deport people and I wouldn't have to talk to you."

Woman with him tells him to stop it;he continues.
