John Stossel defended free speech when he defended Seth Rogan's movie Sausage Party...which has been attacked for it's un-P.C. characters........so what does an ungrateful, ignorant leftist do....he attacks the guy who defended him........
John Stossel - Sausage Party Politics
Seth Rogen, co-writer, co-producer and co-star of the animated comedy "Sausage Party," is unhappy with me -- for defending him.
His movie was attacked by some online commentators for using ethnic and sexual stereotypes, as cartoons often do. What was remarkable is how incensed some people get over a cartoon, even one about talking food.
A reviewer for a site called Autostraddle at first praised the movie, including its depiction of a talking lesbian taco voiced by Salma Hayek.
But then the site replaced the review with a 2,600-word apology. Autostraddle calls itself a "progressively feminist online community for a new generation of kickass lesbian, bisexual & otherwise inclined ladies." Its endless apology said, "After we received feedback about (the "Sausage Party" review) from our Trans Editor (and others including Facebook commenters), we decided to un-publish the piece."
Un-publish. Last week, I did a show on free speech. A tweet I sent out plugging it said, "The attack on free speech even extends to silly movies like @SethRogen's Sausage Party."
Rogen sent my tweet to his 4 million Twitter followers. (Thanks for that, Seth!) But being a Hollywood leftist, he didn't thank me for defending his movie. Probably because I work for Fox, he tweeted that my tweet is what happens "(w)hen idiots use your movie to pretend that free speech is being attacked when it isn't at all."
Rogen's followers pounced, one saying, "It's baffling that some people can't comprehend that criticism is a part of free speech ... Everything is working as intended. Stossel is a tool."
Rogen tweeted again: "People tweeting that they hate your sh-- isn't an 'attack on free speech.' It's people using free speech to tell you they hate your sh--."
But wait! I agree! As I said, private organizations have the right to publish or "un-publish" just about anything.
