^ Well, well, well.
I have an ex that worked as a journalist. She told me that the media (newspapers, magazines, websites, etc.) have very deep relationships with the entertainment industry (that's why you see actresses on covers of women's magazines when their movie is released).
I don't have proof, but... it's highly probable that Disney pays these shills in the media (Mamamia, Variety, etc.) to defend Zegler, since they're hemorrhaging money because of her.
The truth is simple: Zegler is a child of her times. She abides by the Woke cult, that many (many) viewers hate (more and more people as they're getting aware of it). Zegler is obnoxiously defending her political propaganda which is why people don't like her. Simple as that.
Anyway
