Hollywood Reporter: Clinton as Daenerys in a coloring book

■ The pieces

• The Hollywood Reporter: "Hillary Clinton Is Daenerys Targaryen, Superwoman in New Coloring Book" — Lorena O'Neil (2016-07-29)https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/hillary-clinton-coloring-book-president-daenerys-targaryen-915610/

■ What they show

The morning after Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination, The Hollywood Reporter promoted a coloring book that shows her as Daenerys Targaryen, Superwoman and other heroic figures. It is included as an example of admiring, pop-culture framing of a candidate during an election.

■ The other side

This was a product and entertainment news item about a book published by a third party, the kind of story an entertainment trade outlet routinely runs, and not a political endorsement.
