Sony Apologizes After ‘Peter Rabbit’ Movie Exploits a Food Allergy, Upsetting Parents
Tom McGregor, a villain who has food allergies, goes into anaphylaxis when rabbits fire a blackberry into his mouth. Some parents said it set a poor example.Beatrix Potter's text and art are monumental.
Sony should have known better.
It is a cute idea but use a different name and production values.

Opinion
Trumpism for Thee, but Not for Me
The president keeps protecting his supporters from his own policies.
"In
other countries, the most effective way to stop recent demagogues has
been to treat them as normal politicians who are failing to deliver on
their promises, as Luigi Zingales of the University of Chicago has noted.
Don’t focus mostly on the outrages, the insults and the scandals. Most
voters have become inured to them. Focus instead on the demagogue’s
policies and job performance.
Most
Americans don’t want college to become more expensive. They don’t want
medical care to become less accessible. They don’t want to live among
tarballs or breathe dirtier air. They don’t want the top priorities of
the federal government to be maximizing corporate profits and reducing
taxes on the wealthy, at everyone else’s expense.
Often,
Trump simply lies about what his policies would do. But his aides and
the leaders of Congress know they can’t always get away with lying.
Instead, they create carve-outs. In doing so, they are admitting the
truth about the Trump agenda: It’s so bad that they don’t want their own
voters to live with it."
