    The suspension of the show has been met with condemnation and praise from both sides of the political spectrum.

    Who on the left is praising it? Is this deliberate bullshit by Newsweek, or just careless copyediting?

      It’s really sloppy wordmanship but I think what it’s supposed to be saying is that the news has been met with both condemnation and praise from across the political spectrum aka condemnation from the left, and praise from the right. So technically the statement is true, but clumsily written.

        I guess it depends on whether you regard “Republicans Against Trump” as being on the Left. Trump probably does.

          Everything to the left of killing homeless people is radical leftism to them.

            Exactly. You could check every box in MAGA Bingo, but if you have the slightest qualms about sending innocent people to a life sentence in a third world torture prison without due process, you’re as liberal as a San Francisco Homo or a Black Woman.
