STREAMING FOR FREE THROUGH NOVEMBER 3, 2020: Media Education Foundation For years, right-wing politicians and pundits have repeatedly criticized the left for playing “the race card” and “the woman card.” This new film turns the tables by taking dead aim at the right’s own longstanding – but rarely discussed – deployment of white-male identity politics in American presidential elections. Ranging from Richard Nixon’s tough-talking, law-and-order campaign in 1968 to Donald Trump’s hyper-macho revival of the same fear-based appeals in 2020, “The Man Card” shows how the right has mobilized dominant ideas about manhood and enacted a deliberate strategy to frame Democrats and liberals as soft, brand the Republican Party as the party of “real men,” and position conservatives as defenders of white male power and authority in the face of transformative demographic change and ongoing struggles for racial, gender, and sexual equality. “The Man Card” will be streaming free through Election Day.

Covid-19 patient mortality has dropped since the start of the pandemic across all age and racial groups and for those with underlying conditions, according to two new peer-reviewed studies. It’s proof that even if there is no definitive treatment or cure for the disease, doctors are getting better at treating those who are infected. Researchers also think mask-wearing may play a role, as it reduces the initial dose of virus a patient receives. That said, with a 7.6 percent chance of mortality, the disease is still high-risk.
