Media’s Anti-Rowling Bias Speaks Volumes

by

Two key words help explain the Legacy Media in 2025.

Projection and narrative.

The term “latter” here implies the narratives that journalists create as part of their profession. For instance, anything President Donald Trump does or says is portrayed in the most negative way imaginable.

It’s why CNN beclowned itself by giving a sympathetic interview to a cartel member.

Additionally, it elaborates on the continuous criticism aimed at J.K. Rowling by mainstream media. Once revered as the author who ignited a passion for reading in countless youth through her “Harry Potter” books, she has been transformed into a figure of controversy by the media.

What’s causing controversy is that a well-known author seems to oppose the whole concept of the transgender agenda. This, it appears, is the reason for the unfavorable media attention she has been receiving since she began expressing her views publicly in 2020.

Lately, things seem to be deteriorating because Max’s revamped “Harry Potter” television series is moving nearer to becoming a reality. Given her role as an executive producer, it’s only natural for her to feel this way.

There’s no boy wizard without her.

Media outlets were curious about whether J.K. Rowling might include an “anti-trans” theme in the forthcoming “Harry Potter” TV series, which was a major concern raised by Deadline just a few days ago.

Despite J.K. Rowling’s significant involvement with the forthcoming Harry Potter projects, Warner Bros. is trying to distance themselves from her viewpoints.

Yes, a journalist compared Rowling to her book series’ monstrous villain.

Fair. Balanced. Trustworthy. Oh, and the story is also inaccurate.

Casey Bloys, HBO’s Chairman and CEO, stated on The Town podcast hosted by Matthew Belloni that an author has the right to express their “own personal, political opinions.

“If you want to debate her, you can go on Twitter.”

As a film enthusiast, I’ll put it this way: Bloys kept things straightforward. He didn’t alienate J.K. Rowling. He handled her with maturity, no fuss, just as you’d expect between professionals. That’s the gist of it.

Here’s where the projection comes in.

As a keen observer, I’ve noticed that contemporary liberal journalists often intertwine their personal political perspectives in various news pieces these days. It seems they have this assumption that J.K. Rowling, given the opportunity, might follow suit. In other words, they presume she would inject her own viewpoints into her work, much like many journalists do now.

Except she’s not interested in anything above and beyond telling Harry Potter stories.

Currently, J.K. Rowling is publicly stating that she has no intention of dismissing a “Harry Potter” cast member whose opinions differ from her own.

Actor Paapa Essiedu, set to portray Professor Severus Snape in the upcoming series, has added his name to an open appeal urging the British entertainment industry to uphold the safety and rights of the transgender community. This move follows the UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling that legally, transgender women are not considered female women.

In many entertainment industries, people who don’t share the same perspectives as the majority are often unofficially barred from work. Take a look at James Woods and Kevin Sorbo – they have faced such treatment due to their specific viewpoints.

So, surely, Rowling will use her clout to sack Essiedu, right?

Not even close.

I can’t fire an actor from the show, and even if I could, I wouldn’t. I think it’s important to respect people’s employment and means of living, especially when their personal beliefs, which are legally protected, differ from my own.

Another popular media narrative about Rowling has met its end. Prepare for an avalanche of counter-Rowling pieces in the upcoming weeks and months.

Important Note from the Editor: These are challenging times for independent journalists, yet their work is crucial now more than ever due to the current state of the corporate media. If you appreciate ebaster.ru, I encourage you to consider making a donation in our Tip Jar.
