20. Politicians distanced themselves for Flanagan but that's hardly surprising: he glibly said looking at photos of raped kids is victimless

21. Flanagan lost CBC gig but public broadcaster has right to be wary of someone who is glib & ignorant about a very serious topic.

22. If we want to talk about censorship, what about voices that never get to go on CBC or have Globe columns?

23. How many Native Canadians have a Globe perch like Flanagan? How many were on CBC as much as he was before the fall?

24. Flanagan's original remarks not so much wrong as glib, ill-informed, & thoughtless. Which is a problem when talking about child abuse

25. Real pariahs generally don't have long articles defending them in national newspapers. Just saying.

26. Flanagan-as-pariah narrative assumes he deserves to have powerful politicians listen to his words & national TV audience. Bit much.

27. Flanagan is part of larger pattern: see also Wente & Paikin. Canadian media/political elite not used to criticism. Reacts badly.
