CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

U.K. Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has sharply criticized detractors of her plan to sell broadcaster Channel 4. The plan was decried by several leading media industry unions and filmmakers.

In a strongly worded column in The Mail on Sunday, Dorries wrote that the reaction to her plan was “as predictable as it was inflammatory.” “Let’s dump the lazy, overwrought and ill-informed rhetoric from the Leftie luvvie lynch mob and take a cool look at the facts,” Dorries wrote.

“The overblown reaction from the same people who snobbishly decried my appointment the moment I walked through my department’s doors won’t stop me,” Dorries added.

There is no doubt that the reason why the government wants to privatize Channel 4 is because it wants to exact revenge for C4’s coverage of Brexit! Simple as that! ??????#FBPE #FBPEGlobal #BrexitHasFailed #Channel4 #BrexitReality #Brexit pic.twitter.com/HbQS5q0Knq
