We appreciate a good cliche as much as the next guy…


SAN FRANCISCO — It is the 11th hour before the presidential election. But Facebook and Twitter are still changing their minds.

With just a few weeks to go before the Nov. 3 vote…

…but really, if you go with one you ought to stay with it for a little while at least.

The story, from the New York Times, is about a New York Post article about Hunter Biden that Twitter tried to suppress, and in doing so made the story so famous that now everybody wants to read it, and Twitter is obligingly unblocking it. This phenomenon is known in some circles as the Streisand effect.

We'll all be happy when this is over.
