Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed | Zach Schonfeld

The amount of media being wiped from the internet is worrying for viewers, and industry workers who need the exposure, says journalist and critic Zach Schonfeld

I wrote on the shockingly bad CBS interview of Ta-Nehisi Coates, the watering down of “antisemitism,” and the fear, dread and confusion of this year’s Jewish high holidays and upcoming U.S. presidential election. It’s a lot. But maybe it resonates with you, too. L’Shanah Tovah.

That’s why as we approach this high holiday season, which in 2024 contains the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks on Israel and falls one month before the U.S. presidential election, I have never felt more alone, more upside down or more fearful for the next year.
