When I heard this I had to listen to it. Found it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;iono.fm&#x2F;e&#x2F;461744" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;iono.fm&#x2F;e&#x2F;461744</a><p>I love Radioloab, and anticipated sympathizing with them in this episode. However, I must say I think their coverage was rather callous and sympathetic to the trolls. Their thematic point was pretty tenuous. While the trolls&#x27; abilities are impressive, they are pitiful assholes.<p>We don&#x27;t have to think Shia&#x27;s art is good to respect that he&#x27;s attempting something very moral. And even people with a dark sense of humor (me) should respect when that humor makes others feel truly sad and afraid.<p>Some opinion: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;davechen.net&#x2F;2017&#x2F;08&#x2F;radiolab-removes-truth-trolls-podcast-episode&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;davechen.net&#x2F;2017&#x2F;08&#x2F;radiolab-removes-truth-trolls-p...</a>
