Debra Messing cancels NYT subscription because they posted an article featuring Ben Shapiro

There is no forgiveness from some on the left. It doesn’t matter how many decades or tens of thousands of articles a publication contributes to liberal causes and the overall progressive agenda. If they have a single moment of clarity and fairness, they’re evil and no longer deserve support from the leftist elites.

That’s the scenario surrounding Hollywood snowflake Debra Messing. The Will and Grace star, who is known for being to the left of most leftists in Hollywood, took great offense to the posting of a single article:

The frailty of liberalism isn’t universal, despite claims by many right-wing pundits. However, it’s easy to assume they’re sensibilities are a bit fragile when they post Tweets like these in response to the article:

@EricBoehlert NYT writes puff piece on a former Breitbart bottom feeder. number of critics, liberals, Dems quoted in piece: zero https://twitter.com/nytpolitics/status/934074185462272000 …

@EricBoehlert this is why Trump is president 10:16 AM - Nov 24, 2017

Messing retweeted the sentiment with a message of her own:

If you want to be part of the progressives’ team, you cannot even hint that there’s any sense at all to conservative thought. You can’t highlight a conservative’s success. You can’t tell their story in any way that’s not denigrating. These are the rules. Break them at your own risk.

Never heard of her, but one must assume that “Messing” is her nickname from school from all the messing she did in her pants as a kid in school.

Perhaps she could read Mr. Shapiro’s Article and then tell us exactly what she disagreed with.

Not her difference of opinion with him but proving the errors of the facts he presented.

I’ll wait...

She really wrote that you can’t even hint there is any sense to conservative thought? You can’t even try to understand how people who view issues differently from you are thinking?

Wow. Just wow. Liberals are just too far gone.

And how many of her twitter followers and Facebook friends will follow suit and cancel their subscriptions as well?

On Nov 2, Will and Grace pulled in a pretty measly 5.74 million viewers.

On the same night, The Big Bang Theory pulled in 14.14 million and Young Sheldon pulled in 12.66

Typical Hollywood chick.

If you want to be part of the progressives’ team, you cannot even hint that there’s any sense at all to conservative thought. You can’t highlight a conservative’s success. You can’t tell their story in any way that’s not denigrating. These are the rules. Break them at your own risk.

This goes a long way towards explaining Stalin's popularity in Hollywood.

How about that Young Sheldon, eh? Looks great! Fortunately or unfortunately, the snips I see in the ads are themselves enough to gratify the interest they excite. “Boy, that really seems like him!” I once remarked. So, I’m keeping up, you know?

Diversity of thought is an absolute evil to the brain washed mind.
