Background: Road and Track magazine sent reporter Kate Wagner (better known for her McMansion Hell blog) to report on a Formula 1 race in Austin. They published her article last Friday, and then immediately pulled it off their site. This is a link to a copy that was archived in during the brief time it was online. An official explanation of why it was taken down is here: https://defector.com/road-track-eic-tries-to-explain-why-he-...
If this is true, then he should let Wagner publish the story elsewhere.
Interesting fact: Kate Wagner, the author of the "vanished" piece is the creator of the McMansion Hell blog and not only a cycling journalist. That's in the tradition of CLR James who was a noted socialist author and noted rugby commentator.
