That's a genuine surprise! You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boing_Boing

I don't see this phrase in the article, perhaps it was removed. But, regardless, it seems quite apt in this context: https://twitter.com/gaywonk/status/1134264395717103617

> I don't think it's a very trustworthy source of information

Use of a single, seemingly accurate, phrase seems like an odd reason to distrust a source

It was in another article, which is directly linked in this one.

No it's not. He's just being a conservative asshole.

It's not just the single phrase, but what you can extrapolate from it. Calling someone a hate channel is a pretty serious deal these days, and just throwing such an accusation around like that shows that at the very least whoever wrote that article doesn't in the slightest bit intend to show the complete picture. And no, I won't trust a source that I caught once telling only half the story on things where I wouldn't even know.
