Many must have wondered whether they were getting the “real McCain” story or being fed a thinly veiled political message.

President Trump’s habit of saying whatever pops into his head is damaging America’s standing in the world.

Business Insider ran a column defending actress Scarlett Johansson from fierce criticism for her decision to play a transgender man in a forthcoming film called Rub and Tug…In response to complaints, Business Insider pulled the column from its website.
