These types of posts are annoying. You clearly have an opinion on what would make something "cancelled" and what would not. Why go through this effeminate song and dance of making someone provide you examples that you already knew just to critique those examples? It doesn't come across as clever, it comes off bitchy.Please provide some examples of people who have been cancelled.
I have made my point all over this thread. Cancel culture is a made up concept for people who want to complain about being held accountable for their actions. It’s similar to lazy employees who claim they are “quiet quitting” or “acting their wage”.These types of posts are annoying.

Just come out and make your point.
The very first name on your first link is Mike Lindell. He has not been “cancelled”, there are just fewer people who want to work with him since he has outed himself as a lunatic.Victims. couple off the top of my head in addition....

That's fine, make that point, don't pretend to not know what examples people are talking about. When you ask for examples of things you already know, it's like the HS girl who says "nothing" with a pouty face when you ask "what's wrong?".I have made my point all over this thread.

Apparently my point is invalid because a newspaper believe it exists, and they certainly aren’t motivated to divide people with this type of BS. Mpls Gopher disagrees because of said newspaper telling him to.
If you are proposing government funded news then I would say you are crazy; there is plenty of historical and current proof that that model is a disaster. I don't disagree that the current media is terrible, but at least there are different views presented, that would not be the case in a government funded (thus controlled) model.Capitalism is what we have.
Private capital owns the media and demands profit, which in turn demands ratings/clicks/views.
There is no other way, short of a completely publicly financed news service that simply reports facts and interviews.
No, we have crony capitalism. We have a system where powerful entities are able to buy off politicians through lobbying.Capitalism is what we have.

I'm not proposing that such a service would be the only media allowed. Just another option. Like C-SPAN or something along those lines. Not saying it's likely to happen, either.

Gotta like the millions he's raised for cancer research, no?Some really nice discussion here.
Back to Bob Huggins, he could have said Catholics are the most awesome people ever created, and I still wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire. He's just a douchebag IMHO, diarrhea of the mouth or not. I didn't like him going all the way back to Cincinnati days. I find his face punchable.![]()
