It would be a shame if someone posted the article about David Zaslav that GQ magazine apparently pulled shortly after publication this morning
Even worse if it were an easy to save single image and could be re-shared

Dick_Justice, Tl;dr
Author writes scathing article about some rich, powerful Hollywood guy.
Rich, powerful Hollywood guy complains.
Magazine asks for rewrite, with more chill. Author politely declines.
Editors do massive rewrite, adding approximately 16% more chill.
Author asks for name to be removed from new, more chill article, magazine politely declines.
At an impasse about byline, author and magazine decide to just pull the article.
Rich, powerful Hollywood guy now enjoying results of Streisand Effect.
Ninth3891, @Dick_Justice Thanks.
Methylman, How does one scale chillness
SomeoneElse, Is this article the zero percent chill version or the 16% chill one?
NAS89, It’d be a shame if someone provided context to this so it made sense.
CeruleanRuin, Somebody tl:dr me, baby.
Backspacecentury, David Zaslav is head of Warner Bros. Discovery. He took over recently after the merger and proceeded to make a bunch of unpopular decisions regarding everything and made life worse for all employees and fans. He cancelled a million projects mid-stream including a fully finished batwoman movie to get a tax write off. He also gutted Discovery when he became CEO awhile back, taking it from education based to reality tv garbage because that makes more money apparently. He’s basically a real life Jack Donahue from 30 Rock.
It seems GQ wrote an article about how nobody in the industry likes him and then it got pulled.
Now you’re up to speed.
ColonelSanders, *Donaghy, and at least Jack had Liz to act as a moral compass/course correction. David is just another asshat CEO with no moral or ethical scruples.
Backspacecentury, Oh absolutely, Jack without any redeeming qualities.
ChaoticEntropy, He clearly doesn’t have a Lemon.

Itsmeshakes, It's pronounced "Don-a-fee," you lace-curtain half-an-Englishman
Entropywins, Jesus, a real life Jack Donahue... Cracked me up and also scares me to think they are really out there
Conyak, The first two paragraphs of the article in the image say that he was being booed while giving a speech at his alma mater. Apparently he is one of the key individuals on the studio side of the writers strike and many in attendance did not like that.
