OPINION: Target boycott going strong thanks to media hacks
'Just Breathe: Parenting your LGBTQ+ Teen' host Heather Hester told Fox News Digital that Target's decision to pull some of its 'Pride' merchandise was a 'missed opportunity.'The conservative boycott pushed its way into June and legacy media were happy to show their pride defending Target.
Senior media reporter Oliver Darcy wasn’t done. Darcy, you might recall, was warned by his embattled boss Chris Licht about negative coverage of CNN itself. This time he found a topic that both he and the network despise – conservatives. And it showed.Darcy depicted the companies being boycotted as innocent victims"as right-wing media has smeared and incited boycotts against" them."Written in black and white, the attacks look deranged," he wrote.
He argued that the stock had dropped since it reported earnings five days before the boycott began and even cited an expert. He wrote,"The culprit for all these stock drops is not clothing for LGBTQ consumers and allies, said Berna Barshay, a veteran research and investment analyst. It's ‘general retail and consumer jitters. Retail is just very out of favor right now, so all the stocks in the sector are overcorrecting.
One of the most humorous ways the press defended Target was how they depicted designer Erik Carnell, whose firm sold a few products in the store. Carnell is transgender and appears to be a"Satanist" with a brand that sports occult imagery and a message that actually says,"Satan respects pronouns." The Post described that as"how he got smeared as Satanist." Ummm, I’m not the one marketing stuff citing Satan.
