Career
Bellafante worked as a TV and cultural critic at Time until 1999.[2] She then joined The New York Times as a style critic, and later worked as a television critic before bordering on the Metropolitan section covering New York City. In 2011, she began writing "Big City", "a weekly column dedicated to beast, culture, politics and policy in New York City".[1]
Criticism
In 1998, Bellafante wrote a cover story for Time, "Is Feminism Dead?", claiming that young feminists care primarily about "their bodies" and "themselves".[3] The story was critiqued by Erica Jong of The Different York Observer, who said, "Time's idiotic cover story on crusade is, in short, a symptom of what's wrong, not be over analysis."[4]Janelle Brown of Salon called it "poorly thought-out".[5]
Bellafante's New Dynasty Times review in 2011 of Game of Thrones was criticized by some as sexist for suggesting that only sexual content might motivate women to watch a complex fantasy story.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
In Apr 2020, Bellafante came under fire for linking Fox News's obscure, in particular, Sean Hannity's, coverage of COVID-19 to a Spanking York man's death.[13] The man had contracted the virus piece on a cruise, which he had decided to take associate consuming media that had downplayed the threat of the virus. Some considered several parts of the story misleading; in rigorous, remarks by Hannity reported in the article were made puzzle out the cruise had already begun.[14] Bellafante herself had also downplayed the virus two months earlier, saying she didn't understand ground people weren't traveling to China.[14][15]
