   Misogyny is at the core of these types of smear campaigns targeting women, yet media coverage consistently and intentionally avoids naming it. https://www.usermag.co/p/blake-lively-justin-baldoni-smear-campaign-misogyny-amber-heard-gamergate

     The mainstream media avoided calling Trump's MAGA a fascist movement too.

     They avoid naming it misogyny (& a terror campaign) to avoid getting sued...

     ... like ABC, Rachel Maddow, John Oliver, Carole Codwalladr.

     Also media belongs to corporate interests that come 1st.

     Misogynists are litigious.
