Holy hell, he was fired for posting a joke on Twitter? In particular, a joke that is meant to call attention to a lack of sympathy for victims of war? Cancel C

  It's worth reading the folks who attacked Eisen on twitter over this- a really extraordinary example of completely unnecessary misinterpretation of his intent. That said, his tweets have always been controversial and I wish he'd put down the twitters and get back to work.

    > a really extraordinary example of completely unnecessary misinterpretation of his intent I mean, that's par for the course when talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It almost invariably devolves into extreme rhetoric. I have a feeling this post will be taken down because of this. Hopefully not, since this story isn't about the conflict, it's about Cancel Culture, IMHO. > That said, his tweets have always been controversial and I wish he'd put down the twitters and get back to work. People should be allowed to have personal lives that are separate from their work lives. If you were CEO of a large company, does that mean everything you say and do is now an official statement or action of that company? I really hope not.
