Comment on How Apple’s ‘Blacklist’ Manipulates the Pressparent

Comments

Tries to compare Apple's behaviour to McCarthyism. Hilarious really, the kind of paranoid, whining nonsense that is only taken seriously by witless Apple haters, the sort that downvoted you without comment, presumably.

Why do you think the comparison to McCarthyism is incorrect or inappropriate, let alone laughable? Please note that OP didn't say that Apple's blacklist makes it just as bad as HUAC or Uncle Joe.

Of course the author himself notes that a direct comparison is absurd, and that the examples from the Red Scare are illustrative of the purpose and historical context for blacklist.

Perhaps you were a bit hasty in calling others witless.
