I didn't get to watch it last night but very interested to see how they portray the company. Kinda seems like mixed reviews on the internet. Anyone watch it yet?

I’m going to guess they painted Portnoy as a sexist pig.

I saw a clip on portnoys IG. They compare him to a 3rd world dictator because fans love him.

I think that tells me all I need to know about how it is.

It's because they think he's some far right activist just because he advocates free speech and goes on Fox news to blast his critics.

They asked the reporter if this was the hardest story she’s ever had to do.

She’s done reports on Katrina, Sandy Hook, AIDS, and Aurora previously.


They also cut an hour long interview with one of the female employees there “for time”. Even tho the whole piece is about how they treat women

I read Ria’s Blog this morning pissed that they cut her hour long interview completely bc it didn’t fit with the HBO narrative.

I’m quite shocked with their rise

I remember way back in the day when it was “guess the arse”

definitely agenda driven

if she blasted portnoy or barstool, you know that would be one of the first interviews featured.

Doesn't fit the narrative.

Even though they've gone overboard with women's programming. Call her daddy is just nasty.

Their CEO is a woman FFS.

For sure.

Also they claimed that none of the women who have made claims of harassment would agree to come one. Yet one of them made a huge blog on deadspin on how Ria is full of shite the next day

Not for me but apparently it makes bank. Like PMT money or close to it.

Apparently it’s a lot of horned up 20 year olds who want to hear how every girl is a whore

Like I said, it's a hit piece because they think he and barstool as a whole are this big group of far right activist males.

Even though they're mostly liberal, they just try to protect free speech.

I wouldn’t say that

I’d say they’re more “don’t care”

Just because they are from Boston, Chicago and NY makes them liberal
They just don’t give a frick
