They never should have agreed to publish it in the first place.

Yep, and if they hadn’t gotten such backlash from their own employees and the resulting press about it, they still would be. Trash.

And they said they’re committed to publishing “challenging books,” but this isn’t a challenging book. It’s a famous pedophile’s ode to his own greatness. Nobody needs that.

mte, i'm still confused as to how this happened. it had to go through how many people? and not one said "uh, this is a really bad look." like, all publicity is not good publicity?

now, they don't have ronan, don't have the octogenarian pedophile, employees are pissed, and for what? are writers really going to go ahead an sign with them, will people be flocking to read their other books because of it all?

the field of public relations is truly a career akin to the last airbender these days. they vanished

I don’t think I’ve seen the episode this is from, but it’s amazing.

I think it was the one about paid family leave, probably season one? He did a segment in which he assigned every federal agency a mascot. It was brilliant.
