if an employee of the Chicago Sun Times made up a summer reading list of 50 fake books that didn't exist they would be fired already, blacklisted by the industry & the paper would have issued a retraction and a full page apology but it was a plagiarism machine so it'll just get used again next week

Also NEA made their grant system impossible in response to Cheryl Dunyeโ€™s The Watermelon Woman (1996) literally because they were angry a movie about a Black lesbian having sex was government-funded. US puritanical beliefs and lack of artist support are intrinsically connected.
