The FDA has not authorized Ivermectin for prevention or treatment of COVID-19 in the U.S.Elsewhere, Katie Couric admitted in her new book that she intentionally edited her 2016 interview with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to delete a portion where Ginsburg said athletes who kneel for the national anthem are showing \u201ccontempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.\u201d\u00a0Couric claimed she was protecting Ginsburg because she feared the justice was \u201celderly\u201d and \u201cprobably didn\u2019t fully understand the question.\u201dA little over a week ago, The New York Times overreported the number of children hospitalized due to COVID-19 \u2013 reporting \u201cnearly 900,000,\u201d when the real number was around 60,000.\u00a0Samir Hussein\/Contributor\/WireImage\/Getty Images3) Netflix Faces Worker Revolt Over Chappelle SpecialThe Topline: The controversy over comedian Dave Chappelle\u2019s Netflix special, \u201cThe Closer,\u201d continued this week as a group of Netflix employees staged a walkout and released a list of demands.Quote Of The Day: \u201cWe\u2019re supposed to be that little voice that speaks out and says the things that you\u2019re afraid to say. But you\u2019re thinking, if you\u2019re telling us that we can\u2019t even say, that we can\u2019t do that, then what can we do? You know, are we just supposed to put clown makeup on and dance around?\u201d\u2013 Comedian Jon Reep, on stand-up comedyDemandsChappelle\u2019s Netflix special, \u201cThe Closer,\u201d has drawn the ire of numerous LGBTQ activist groups, and employees at Netflix, due to its jokes poking fun at the transgender movement.\u00a0On Wednesday, dozens of Netflix employees staged a walkout and issued a list of demands saying they want all posters and images of Chappelle removed from Netflix buildings. They also demanded that the company hire transgender and non-binary people to executive positions and fund new entertainment promoting transgenderism.They also want Netflix to \u201cacknowledge the harm and Netflix\u2019s responsibility for this harm from transphobic content\u201d and put a hate-speech warning on Chappelle\u2019s special.Netflix\u2019s ResponseBoth of Netflix\u2019s co-CEOs initially put out strong statements in defense of Chappelle, essentially saying speech is not violence.However, Ted Sarandos, co-CEO and Chief Content Officer, provided a new statement to Deadline on Tuesday saying he \u201cscrewed up\u201d and wasn\u2019t sensitive enough to transgender concerns. He said should have led with his \u201chumanity\u201d rather than a defense of free expression.Stand-Up CommunityOther than a few exceptions, most comedians are supporting Chappelle.Earlier this week, fellow comedian Damon Wayans called him the \u201cVan Gogh\u201d of comedy and said comedians have been \u201cslaves to PC culture,\u201d and Chappelle has freed them.Stephanie Keith\/Stringer\/Getty ImagesOther Stories We\u2019re TrackingBrian LaundrieThe FBI has confirmed that a backpack and notebook belonging to Brian Laundrie, as well as what appears to be human remains, were discovered in a park in Florida on Wednesday.
