Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

I said from the jump that Kimmel never said the shooter was MAGA. I heard it the way he meant it: that MAGA is desperately spinning a narrative that the shooter is anything but MAGA. It’s like when I say I don’t trust the source of the texts, people make all kind of assumptions about what I mean.
So, Kimmel said nothing wrong and was mocking MAGA. That's it.
ABC's cowardice even worse.

Disney and ABC need to feel serious consequences for their collaboration with Trump and MAGA in censoring Kimmel. Economic consequences. Same with the owners of CBS and other organizations that capitulate. The only thing they understand or care about are their own bottom lines.
