Clint Eastwood's docudrama 'Richard Jewell' has generated controversy for inaccurately portraying a journalist as sleeping with a source to get tips — 'the worst kind of trope' — according to the editor of the newspaper where she worked
One of the things I love about directing is the ability to control the voice and message of the film. As an actor, it’s more complicated, and I want to share my perspective on my role in the film “Richard Jewell”."The perspective of the fictional dramatization of the story, as I understood it, was that Kathy, and the FBI agent who leaked false information to her, were in a pre-existing romantic relationship, not a transactional exchange of sex for information," Wilde added.
"It's not just a tired cliché. It's an offensive cliché," he said."I've never known a female journalist that I've worked with to have ever done this." Adrienne Trier-Bieniek, a qualitative researcher who examines the connection between pop culture and social inequality, including how gender is presented in media, called it a"cheap move," especially in the #MeToo era, and said she did not understand why Eastwood chose to depict Scruggs that way.
"It's demeaning. It discounts the quality of the work that we do," McBride said."It fits into the narrative that the press is the enemy of the people, that we are not out to tell the truth, that we are out to advance our own agenda — consequences be damned."that she"did an extraordinary amount of research" to get a sense of Scruggs' character. That came as a surprise to those close to Scruggs.
