Oh, I tend to agree with you. I was getting a kick out of how one the one hand, Jez writers call censorship on Ben Affleck because they don’t like what he was trying to hide, but if anyone expresses concern over the censorship over something they don’t care about, or disagree with, then they come out with the argument…

Also, I thought people at this website ascribed to the school of thought that says that censorship can only be carried out by the government. Unless they only say that when it’s convenient to the point they’re trying to make.

It was an important part of the show. They shouldn’t have given him a say on it. But he has every right to cooperate or not. He doesn’t owe us anything.

I’m with you on this one. While I generally consider Ben Affleck to be something of a dumpster fire I don’t think he is doing anything outside of the norm for most celebs. Interviewers are routinely briefed on what kind of questions the “star” does not want to be asked. Even interviews that appear to be candid are…

I’m not really seeing the issue here. I mean with the family history show it called into question the shows validity and they likely should have told him either he cooperates or they run it without his input. But I mean if you have issue with his requirements don’t agree to interview based on them.

I have a case in point for you. I just got my ballot for the elections and have started researching the state constitutional amendments we get to vote on this time around here in Florida. The first proposed amendment deals with solar power. It was sponsored by power companies and is has the most misleading wording you…

Well no, you queried if we should take control of Haiti (or someone) and do it for them. I specifically stated that interloping is the problem to begin with, and that all the money that was donated for the earthquake didn’t go to Haiti directly. It went through organizations, which then take some off the top and just…

Let’s see if I get this right. You sky rocket the price of your product, commit a crime, get fined a half billion dollars, stock goes up 10% and make a fortune all while already being paid a crap load of money for basically doing nothing except screwing people. Holy crap being a CEO is the easiest job in the world. …

That IS what I wanted to know. Not too worried about Haitians getting offended by my Gizmodo comments.

Sick of this no-wrongdoing BS. I want to see people in jail. I want there to be real consequences so this type of business practice stops.

Independence from external control?

Pretty high-handed thing to say about a place that literally just got ‘blown away’ as you put it.

Mylan has to pay $465 million. Stock price goes up near 10%.

Instead of addressing that maybe having leadership positions be 80% female isn’t a solution, every Jezebel comment is going “well you were okay with it when it was 80% male” - which, uh, is not true.

I disabled autocorrect long ago...

That’s what I find so baffling: replies are FULL of sarcastic comments. It’s like they don’t /want/ to have an adult conversation.

Cue the sarcastic “But WHO will think of the MEN?!?!” comments.

I have a feeling, if this is true, Jezebel would be okay with it.

who was, let’s not forget, married to his own second cousin for 14 years
