I posted an anti-ICE video today and six hours after I posted it, it was sitting at 0 views. Statistically impossible.

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
