I don't know why I doubt it given Twitter's past, but it still surprises me I hear stuff like this.

Because it's unwise to censor people on such trivial grounds as these and because I forget just how foolish people can be. 

But Considering the past actions of twitter, Facebook, 95% of the media here in our country .... this is not surprising..... at all.

You think ESPN disabled the comment section for shits and giggles ?

That's why I said "I don't know why I doubt it given Twitter's past..."

So I guess my next Q is .... how did we get to this point? 

Why is the vast majority of our news sources so left leaning? As well as.... 

Social media monopolies? 

Hollywood thespians? 

Professional Athletes? 

Last time I checked a bird needs two wings to fly.

I think that's a really good question.

I think at least part of the answer is that in the early 1970s radical feminists who had failed to find success in mainstream politics moved into academia and were effective in generating majors and in proselytizing young people who then became school teachers and journalists and academics and lawyers and entrepreneurs and so on.

That's an idea I got from Christina Hoff Sommers who had a successful career as a professional philosopher and who, although she identifies as a feminist of a certain kind, has found a second career as a historian of feminism and as a critic of certain strands of feminism and of contemporary campus culture and of the effects of feminism on primary education.

I think her stuff is good and insightful.
