The rarest of all mythical creatures: a journalist with integrity. I'm not sure what a "memory-hole" is, so I can't say whether it's good thing or not.

As Twitchy recently reported, actress Scarlett Johansson — who already took “whitewashing” fire for accepting the lead in the Japanese manga adaptation “Ghost in the Shell” — is in trouble again for planning to play a trans man in the tentatively titled “Rub & Tug.”

Johansson shot back by noting critically acclaimed performances by Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman.

We’d point you to Daniella Greenbaum’s take on the subject over at Business Insider’s website, but we can’t, because the piece has been memory-holed, and Greenbaum resigned over it.
