People are discovering that cancel culture goes both ways.
Neither one is good.
But let's not pretend that cancel culture has not been going for many years now.
Remember Fox News cancelling, their most popular at the time, Tucker Carlson Show?
- vjvjvjvjghv 1y agoI think the problem is that the FCC is getting involved here.
- g42gregory 1y agoYes, they could have spent time, first creating an informal "communication safety" group between some Government agency and Disney/ABC. But I feel like this is splitting hairs.
- hobs 1y agoI do remember that, and it turns out there's so many reasons to have fired TC that people had pages of listicles on why he could have been fired https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/why-was-tucker-carlson-fired-fox-news-b2354146.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic... and none of them were cancel culture it turns out. Fox already lied and paid out hundreds of millions on dominion, it couldn't handle paying for any more lies.
- g42gregory 1y agoYeah, I am sure soon we be given good reasons why "they couldn't handle" JK either. Just scroll down the comments. See, ABC affiliates wanted him gone... :-) TC has now an audience larger than the entire Fox News. Maybe JK will do the same.
- hobs 1y agoSure... except that's an appeal to authority that has nothing to do with being an incredibly toxic legal liability. The lies about Dominion voting machines were incredibly popular, denying science is incredibly popular, homeopathy is incredibly popular.
- pupppet 1y agoGovernment threats led to Tucker's cancellation?
