CHRISTIAN TOTO: Press Ignores Amy Schumer’s Toxic Brand.

The press protects Schumer. She’s an outspoken liberal who puts her time and money behind progressive causes. That means reporters would be less than eager to ask the kind of questions that should be explored given the Barbie switcheroo.

Like:

Is Schumer’s brand too toxic now for a mainstream project?
Does her aggressively sexual shtick conflict with a family-friendly franchise?
Did Schumer calling Trump voters KKK members hurt her perceived box office clout?
Who made the final call on Schumer leaving the project? The actress … or Team Mattel?

You know who asked some of those questions following the announcement? Readers of the very sites listed above. Here’s a sample from the Variety comments section.

You know who won’t ask them? “Journalists.”
