I saw who was interviewed and immediately tossed the episode. Now you guys are making me rethink that, and I hate you for it!

Indiana University fully cut the Indiana Daily Student’s print newspaper — including the special publications it had earlier indicated it wanted us to run — Tuesday evening, hours after firing its student media director. Our next edition, part of volume 158, in our 158th year of publication, was set to go out Thursday. IU and The Media School had previously directed the IDS to stop printing news coverage in our newspaper. Only the special editions, traditionally included as inserts in our paper.
