The author refers to “Baby It’s Cold Outside” at various times as a film, then as a song.

It was a song IN a film at one point, but the writer can’t seem to make up his mind.

Which again brings us to a familiar refrain:

Where the heck have editors disappeared to?

Yes, he missed some obvious edits.

I bet he does not have a paid editor.

My favorite version:
Baby, It's Cold Outside--Sammy Kaye & His Orchestra (1949)
A different version that was also a hit:
Baby, It's Cold Outside--Homer & Jethro (1949)

Podcaster Adam Carolla offered a smart battle cry against the PC movement recently on his podcast. “You retreat, they encroach,” he said of these humor-free scolds.

Carolla has been a very outspoken vocal critic of everything 'PC' on his podcast. He also predicted this uproar from the left about this very song a little while back. He nailed it here and correctly points out that if you stand your ground and refuse to apologize, they will simply move on to an easier target. Yes, it is easier to take this stance when you don't have to rely on a corporate paycheck from a network, but Carolla has figured out these clowns and nails them to the wall at every opportunity. I highly recommend his podcast at podcastone.com

I did a search for “lyrics” on that song, and I don’t find a single reference to “Christmas”. I’m 73, and that song has been around all those years - I’ve heard it countless times - but it has never been associated directly with Christmas.

For years, I worked at small radio stations where we played Christmas music incessantly from the day after Thanksgiving to the day after Christmas (mixed in with our normal format) and we had Christmas music from every artist and orchestra I can think of, but I never remember seeing that title on a Christmas record, or album.

This was all a hype by some femanazi to gain attention, and try and spike Christmas.

Or how the right-leaning “Last Man Standing” nearly snared an early retirement after it didn’t get big enough ratings for ABC.

The ratings were fine. The issue was that ABC / Disney execs were embarrassed that they allowed a voice that wasn't hard core leftist to make in on the air. They'd rather have a lefty failure than a "just-a-little-to-the-right-of-Bill-Clinton" success.

It has actually been in several movies - including one version where the girl is seducing a reluctant Red Skelton, who’s trying to leave!

“Where the heck have editors disappeared to?”

Shouldn’t that be: To where the heck have editors disappeared?

Snopes has one of the most ludicrous assessments, after accepting mild rebuttal it concludes with "question it, we must".

What BS......

As far as I know, KLUV in Dallas has still banned it. Their pussy programming director was crowing about having been ahead of the curve and pulling it last year. This is a Dallas “oldies” channel (was ‘50s/‘60s music in the ‘80s; now, they are starting to play ‘90s music(!)) where the on-air talent routinely disparages President Trump. Rival station Star 102.1 plays the heck out of BICO, which has caused me to sub it in my presets, but I don’t think I’ll love their regular music.

I double-dog dare them to play this:

No--Dodie Stevens (1960)

No!
(Baby, baby, won't you give me a kiss?)
I said, no!
(Just a little kiss you never will miss.)
Just plain no!
(Why do you torture me like this?)
Don't you understand, in English, no!
...
Oh, don't you know
That a girl means "yes" when she says, "no"...
Don't let go when I say, "no."
