271ce the "traditional 272 patriarchal power structure." E.g. tabloids' "Rags-To-Riches" tales 273 support the notion that anyone can succeed under capitalism if they are 274 honest and work long hard hours. Tabloids' "fat obsession" reinforce 275 oppressive sexist standards of beauty. And "Fall of the Mighty" stories 276 alleviate class antagonisms by assuring working class readers that the 277 rich 278 and powerful are always punished for their greed and wrongdoing.
