LBGTQ: Trump said this at his nomination. The "Q" seems derogatory to me. Is it an OK abbreviation?
Get used to it, it is the new acronym. You'd think the B would encompass the Q but this liberal PC globalist crowd wants to be hip and not let anyone feel excluded or dare tell anyone "NO".

^^^ He only says that because there are two "b"s in his name…
(not that there's anything wrong with that)

There was nothing good about Daily Beast taking that article down. What is good about a site publishing "an article that is in conflict with both our values and what we aspire to as journalists"?
First they got caught, then they edited it, then they apologized for it, then they finally took it down. This only after an enormous hue and cry from all sides on social media. Left to their own devices the article would probably still be sitting on their site, garnering lots of hits for its controversial nature and lacking the crocodile tears they splashed over it after getting in trouble.
No praise for Daily Beast. In fact, I've blocked them on social media. Buh bye.
Much of what you say is true. The thing that struck me was the how seldom political media like Fox ever retract or apologize. I agree with another observation, they probably don't have an editorial desk to run things past.

I think editorial desks have gone the way of proofreaders and copy editors: boom. gone.
