Apollo Attended by the Nymphs of Thetis - François Girardon
The news media - and everyone else, for that matter - are aflutter with news of conservative treachery. The dialogue is presented thus: The Patriarchy, in conjunction with The Catholic Church, are trying to send American women back to the stone age by denying their fundamental right to "the pill." A progressive female is brought into the news studio to articulate her position on the issue, as the male host dutifully nods in agreement. The "conservative" perspective is dug up with footage of the fat man engaging in name-calling or the man in the vest proclaiming his unfaltering belief in theocracy; both men are presented as co-Emperors of conservative thought. America is then asked to believe in this as an objective presentation of the argument, and worse, is asked to believe that this issue is somehow more in need of attention than others facing the country.
