+Entertainment Weekly seems to have changed the headline from “Hugo Award nominations fall victim to misogynistic, racist voting” to “Hugo Awards voting campaign sparks controversy”. But the article’s libel is still there in the lede:
“The Hugo Awards have fallen victim to a campaign in which misogynist groups lobbied to nominate only white males for the science fiction book awards.”
The writer seems to assume nobody will follow the link she herself provided to Brad Torgersen’s blog post with the “Sad Puppies” slate: even a casual glance turns up lots of female names on the list. As it happens, writers and editors of both sexes, and of divers ethnic backgrounds, and of political opinions across the political spectrum, are all represented on this list.
In other words, this entire article is a
lie. It ought to be withdrawn with an abject apology for the blatant libel offered to Brad Torgersen.
