Don't criticize Whoopi's suspension because people shouldn't be suspended for controversial comments. Criticize it because it's the network's way of trying to worm out of any bad publicity it might cause for THEM. Even calling it a "suspension" is buying their cover story.

as a lifelong Dem voter, reading this paragraph felt kind of like finding a writhing nest of venomous snakes nestled in the foundations of my own house; I'm trying to think of a better, more nuanced word than "disgusting," but good lord
