ONE YEAR AFTER THE BOGUS UVA RAPE STORY, bogus documentary ‘The Hunting Ground’ on shortlist for Oscar nomination.

Variety had predicted in October that the film would make the list, and while being on the shortlist doesn’t mean it will actually get a nomination, I think its chances are good. (And if it does get the nomination, I’ll be able to say the creators of an Oscar-nominated propaganda film tried and failed to discredit me.)

In its write-up of the shortlist, the New York Times noted up front that the film has been criticized, unlike the other shortlist candidates.

“‘The Hunting Ground,’ recently broadcast on CNN, has been the subject of criticism from college officials and others who say it is filled with distortions; the director Kirby Dick and the producer Amy Ziering have stood by the film,” the Times wrote.

Those “distortions” include severely flawed statistics exaggerating the problem of campus sexual assault, misrepresented allegations from several of the film’s main accusers and almost no effort to tell the full story of campus sexual assault by seeking comment from the students and schools maligned. It wasn’t until after the film was sent for consideration at the Sundance Film Festival (and after the Rolling Stone’s gang-rape story was revealed as a hoax after the author failed to contact the accused students) that the filmmakers attempted to tell the other side of the story.

And once the criticism started flowing, the filmmakers conspired to edit Wikipedia to make the facts appear to agree with the narrative in the film.

This is just Hollywood warming up the “war on women” narrative for Hillary. Though you’d think that when talking about putting a Clinton in the White House, you wouldn’t want to bring up the subject of rape. . . .
