Sausage Party Politics: New at Reason

Seth Rogan was upset about a tweet after jumping to conclusions.

Last week, I did a show on free speech. A tweet I sent out plugging it said, “The attack on free speech even extends to silly movies like @SethRogen’s Sausage Party.”

Rogen sent my tweet to his 4 million Twitter followers. (Thanks for that, Seth!) But being a Hollywood leftist, he didn’t thank me for defending his movie. Probably because I work for Fox, he tweeted that my tweet is what happens “(w)hen idiots use your movie to pretend that free speech is being attacked when it isn’t at all.”

Rogen’s followers pounced, one saying, “It’s baffling that some people can’t comprehend that criticism is a part of free speech … Everything is working as intended. Stossel is a tool.”

Rogen tweeted again: “People tweeting that they hate your sh– isn’t an ‘attack on free speech.’ It’s people using free speech to tell you they hate your sh–.”

But wait! I agree! As I said, private organizations have the right to publish or “un-publish” just about anything.
