Roll left and crash...

...in this case, it is free speech itself.

//Walmart is pulling Cosmopolitan Magazine from its checkout lines. The magazine that made its name with provocative covers will no longer be found in Walmart on sale at the checkout lines, a move that the company is calling a "business decision" but which one advocacy group is touting as a victory against sexual exploitation.

Cosmopolitan, owned by Hearst Communications, describes itself as a "bible for fun, fearless females that reaches more than 18 million readers a month." In its early days, it made a splash with its provocative covers and sex advice for readers. It has been critiqued for marrying its racier content with young starlets on its covers.

In an emailed statement to CNBC on Tuesday night, Walmart said it "will continue to offer Cosmopolitan to customers that wish to purchase the magazine, but it will no longer be located in the checkout aisles." "While this was primarily a business decision, the concerns raised were heard," it said.//

Not long ago, Walmart pulling Cosmopolitan would have generated outrage by leftists who would mock Walmart for its censorship and prudishness.

Except that the left has been celebrating censorship and prudishness for the last decade and outright suppressing "distasteful" and "offensive' speech that offends the left.

So, how does the Left turn out to protest a conservative entity censoring "distasteful" and "offensive" speech without giving away its project?

Crazy times.

Roll left and crash.

The thing that turned me off of journalism is that I have to read blogs to get the story behind the story.

This makes sense. In fact, given the huge support the LDS Church has given the BSA, I've been waiting for this to unfold, but, of course, this isn't news to the arbiters of "news":

//Meanwhile, the Girl Scouts are quite miffed about the announcement. In fact, they’ve been smelling a rat for a while now. Back in August, the Girl Scouts sent a, well, strongly worded letter to the BSA accusing them of a “covert campaign to recruit girls.” Furthermore, they wondered why the BSA would seek to recruit girls rather than the “90 percent of boys who are not involved” in Boy Scouts.

Could the BSA be floundering because of its 2015 decision to allow openly gay adults into the program as leaders? Oh, nothing to see here! chirped the AP. The Boy Scouts seem “more robust” than they have in years, it wrote.

Really? Than why is the Mormon church peeling off about 200,000 Boy Scouts as it starts its own program? Why are Boy Scout camps closing? Moreover, why is the BSA printing articles in its publication on “how to revive a declining pack or troop?”

No, the BSA isn’t looking for girls to join because its numbers shrank 7% in a ten-year period, would it?//

Like the Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal and other denominations, the initial tilt into left-wing activism drove off the base, which has led to the BSA "doubling-down" on inclusiveness in order to make up for the loss of membership, which will drive off more of its base. ....Lather, rinse, repeat.

I have been a fan of the Steelers since Franco Harris.

That ended today.

I will root for Alejandro Villenueva, who shoed that he was the last brave man in the NFL and it's only class act.

WTF happened?

Why do these wealthy assholes want to insult normal people?

Roll Left, then Crash.

ESPN reaps the dividend of going SJW left by losing business and having to lay-off talent.
