Yeah, I feel like this is a case where we should be able to flag the flaggers.
Or at least show them a version of the site that hides political posts to save their techbro sensibilities. I get why some politics is toxic, but this is so indefensible, it isn't likely to start a flamewar.
Flagged? This is only Voldemort-adjacent.
> I wish we could have put it on the show, where no one would’ve watched it So true, the Streisand effect in full view. I think it got 95 million views on youtube.

"Most" leaves some wiggle room here, and I'd say CBS's censoring of Colbert post-acquisition is evidence of an "interesting new phenomenon". You might not find the story interesting, but that just means you're not the target audience.

I was actually thinking the opposite. I sent my wife this text message: Nonsense world when a comedian doing a late night show is the person willing to say something It's not his job I'm glad he's doing it, but this is like watching the McDonald's workers Narcan people as part of their daily tasks For reference she worked as a manager at McDonald's and would regularly have to deal with people ODing in the drive throu…
Corporate doesn't realize that forcing people to do nothing and watch others die might be bad for morale? Corporate doesn't realize that people regularly dying in their drive through without assistance is going to be an enormously negative PR hit if it ever comes out?
