Business Insider: Liberal Scumbag of the Week

Claim to Fame: American financial and business news website founded in 2009 that also operates international editions worldwide.

Why It's the Liberal Scumbag of the Week: for removing an already-published piece by conservative writer Daniella Greenbaum that apparently offended some liberal colleagues.

The now-removed column, headlined “Scarlett Johansson is being unfairly criticized for doing her job after being cast as a transgender man,” played devil’s advocate to gay mafia members outraged that the famed actress was cast as a trans man in the upcoming movie “Rub and Tug.”

This despite the fact (as Johansson herself noted before she caved to the pressure and backed out the role a few days ago) that cisgender actresses like Hillary Swank received massive critical praise as well as an Oscar for playing a transgender woman in “Boys Don't Cry”. Then too is the fact that a well-accomplished, mainstream actress like Johansson would've brought plenty of attention to an otherwise secular film.

Worse than the fact that Greenbaum got her article retracted for daring to suggest (“The job of an actor is to represent someone else,” Greenbaum argued. “Johansson's identity off the screen is irrelevant to the identities she plays on the screen.”) that a woman could play a trans man in a film, was Business Insider reasoning their decision with the ultra-lame “did not meet our editorial standards" excuse. In other words, the website got so shook by the leeches in the Gay Mafia that its Editor-in-Chief Nich Carlson even went so far as to quickly issue a new protocol for columns, analysis, and opinion pieces that are deemed “culturally sensitive.” Right.

Good thing Greenbaum did the right thing and quit rather then continue to subject herself to possibly being censored for refusing to bow down to the ever-offended pricks on the Left.

“Unfortunately what happened with my piece—the tarring of a commonsensical view as somehow bigoted or not thought out; the capitulation of those who are supposed to be the adults to the mob” Greenbaum wrote in her resignation letter, “is a pattern happening all over the country within institutions that pride themselves on open-mindedness and liberalism.”
