Cancel culture has gone too far

Good riddance to OAN....

OAN entered panic mode in January after DirecTV said it would drop the network. OAN host Dan Ball urged viewers to dig up "dirt" on AT&T Board Chairman William Kennard, a Democrat who was the Federal Communications Commission chairman during the Clinton administration and US Ambassador to the European Union under President Barack Obama. "You bring me concrete evidence of whatever it may be: cheating on his taxes, cheating on his wife, saying racial slurs against white people," Ball said on his show, alluding to the fact that Kennard is Black. "Whatever it may be. Find it for me. Bring it, and we will air it."

This is the "cancelling the cancellers" GWB champions.

This is the "cancelling the cancellers" GWB champions.

So DirectTV (owned by AT&T made a business decision to drop the low viewership OANN channel. The response from the clowns at OANN was to attempt to form a mob of people to cancel AT&T Board Chairman William Kennard. The OANN clowns are the only "cancellers" in the this situation. And this clearly is not an example of "cancelling the cancellers". You still seem very confused about what is "Cancelling" - I would urge you to read my posts on the matter to educate yourself.

Note that DirectTV (and other providers) dropped not only OANN but all channels from Herring Networks Inc. including A Wealth of Entertainment (AWE). Trying to state that only OANN was dropped due to "cancelling" is not correct.

Both channels AWE and OAN are owned by the same company. Direct TV dropped OAN/AWE but AWE is nothing really. It was all OAN really.

Can you name any other channels the company owns which were on DirectTV or other networks? I thought not. DirectTV and other TV providers dropped Herring Networks because all of their channels were low performing and the bandwidth could be put to more profitable uses. Straight-forward financial business situation.

Get back to us when DirectTV and other providers drop NewsMax which has/had much higher viewership than OANN. If they drop NewsMax then someone could make a case that they are targeting conservative media for "cancellation".

Verizon did not drop Herring Network owned OAN when Direct TV did...

But OAN did this:

Despite Verizon being its largest remaining carrier after satellite provider DirecTV dropped the network this past spring, OAN lobbed numerous attacks at the company as the network's agreement neared expiration. Calling it "one of the largest and wokest companies to date," the network's hosts grumbled in recent weeks that Verizon was "silencing conservative voices" and "engaging in censorship" of OAN.

Look what happend 2 days ago:

One America News gets dumped by Verizon, the only major carrier it had left
DirecTV dropped OAN earlier this year

I am all for carriers dumping networks with conspiracy theories and ad hominem attacks and shitty programming. it is not cancel culture, it is just a business getting tired of giving a platform to fucktards and it is the American way of capitalism!

According to GWB, cancelling due to the bolded is cancel culture.

It can be called whatever someone on social media comes up with haha.... but there is nothing wrong with it as the marketplace often gets it right, just might seem unfair. But look at Chapelle....moved his show to another theater and still had a sell out crowd.

What you and me call free market, GWB calls cancel culture

A group of angry activists demanding a local theater not host a comedian because they are "offended" -- anyway you slice & dice it -- is Cancel Culture. This is very different than the theater not hosting the comedian because the comic was not popular and they would not earn a profit on the performance.
