Since October I've noticed that these episodes have been slowly picked off Paramount+ in Canada - in my province at least.

Given the current political climate I can at least think of a reason why they would ban the last 3 to theoretically avoid controversy (then again if they're banning specific episodes due to antisemitic themes you would think The Passion of the Jew would be the first to go, but those are still up lol), but I'm sort of puzzled as to why the first 4 have been taken off? I don't remember anything in these episodes that would warrant them being removed over any other episode. There are plenty of worse ones out there, why do you think they removed those?

they've always said that they haven't done an episode they don't stand behind, so i don't know why those would be removed. it's probably not up to them, though

I mean, they did walk back their first Al Gore episode considerably.

Not that I think any of these episodes need to be walked back. But I do think Matt and Trey acknowledge they are as fallible as anyone else and aren't too proud to change their position if they later feel they had it wrong.
