Terrible story. This should not have happened to this film. I do not know what has happened to a country which has free speech and press enshrined in it's constitution.

It is also sad that the National Review which paints itself as this bastion of objectivity publishes such breathless headlines.

Wait a sec - so the story is terrible, but the headline shouldn’t point that out?

Two things can be true. The story is terrible and the publisher of the story is a part of the problem too.

How is the publisher part of the problem by pointing out a shameful injustice?

The headline of a story about moral indignation is full of moral indignation.

I don’t think NR has ever positioned itself as objective, it’s an explicitly conservative magazine and always has been.

Yeah - GP appears to just want to dunk on the NR I stead of comment about the story.

Or both. It’s disappointing the movie was shunned the way it was. And it is disappointing NR writes such breathless headlines.
