As the nation continues to grapple with the fallout from the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, prominent members of the media are calling for the erasure of right-wing media outlets like Fox News, One America News Network (OANN), and Newsmax, which they say contributed to the riots.
Max Boot, a columnist for the Washington Post, wrote a piece titled, “Sadly, Fox News Can’t Be Impeached” in which he called these television networks “collaborators” in inciting a violent insurrection. Boot went on to ask, “Where is the accountability for right-wing propagandists like [Tucker Carlson] who recklessly splashed around the lighter fluid that ignited on Jan. 6?” and suggested pressuring cable giants to suspend their platforms if they do not “clean up their acts.”
Boot is not alone in his thinking. Journalists from the New York Times (which frequently cancels its own writers), MSNBC, and CNN all got in on the action.
On the program “Morning Joe,” Anand Giridharadas of MSNBC questioned whether Fox News “is a thing that should exist in America,” stating:
"It is a brain-mashing machine for half of this country and we see that a large number of brains are already being mashed. We see after the terrorist insurrection that 12% of Americans supported the terrorist attack after it happened. I’m not just worried about a few thousand people on the Hill; I’m worried about several million people who are now down with terrorism as a means of political conduct...Is that not a violation of the basic ethics and norms of a civil society, if not of the law?"
Nicholas Kristof from the Times wrote, “We must clear an ecosystem of mass delusion spread by Fox News and many Republicans” in a recent opinion piece.

The ends justify the means. Nothing is wrong, nothing is off limits.
“Boot is not alone in his thinking. Journalists from the New York Times (which frequently cancels its own writers), MSNBC, and CNN all got in on the action.”
The usual suspects.
Fox already canceled its ratings. No need to bother with that one.
“The Cancel Culture Mob Got Gina Carano and Is Eyeing Fox News. Here’s Why It’s Wrong ...”
Don’t bother. The way Fox News is headed in a couple of months it will be CNN Lite.
Marshal Cara Dune was the only reason to watch the Mandalorian.
There, I said it.
The Cancel Culture needs to face off with some genuine patriots. I doubt there would be much more cancel culture happening.
Remember that this mob attacked Tucker’s Home in Washington where his wife and children were home alone, Ticker was elsewhere.
Greg Gutfeld’s apartment was attacked and vandalized, they through a hammer through his window, Greg went out and armed himself.
If no one else will stop the Cancel Culture, the citizens will.
Tucker likely. Fauxnoose? Have they watched lately? Merely CNN lite these days.
A politically motivated purge. Freedom of thought is long gone.
First Fox went after Trump, and Trump stopped watching them. Then Fox insulted conservatives, and the conservatives stopped watching them. Then Fox went full left, but since the left always hated Fox , still nobody was watching them. And then the left they went after Fox.....and since nobody was watching them, nobody cared.
Moral of the story? They only one who really cares about a Fox hunt, is the fox. Good luck with that!
The Cancel Culture Mob isn’t the real problem it’s the ones who listen to them.
“As the nation continues to grapple with the fallout from the January 6 attack on the US Capitol...”
Stopped right there.
Who is this idiot and where do they find such people?
Instead of reporting as FOX and others do, why can’t we have a company that will counter everything these idiots say and propose getting rid of THEIR correspondents because their ideas/thoughts/beliefs/opinions aren’t OUR OWN.
Suggest that they be sent to camps for re-eduction or even executed as some have suggested for us? Stop playing nice - fight fire with fire... I would love to see Tucker propose some of the same solutions to CNN and MSNBC correspondents as have been suggested for those from FOX and FOX viewers!
No wonder we’re losing the war!
“Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable,” the statement read.
Carano fell under heavy criticism after she posted that “Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors.... even by children.”
The actor continued to say, “Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”
The above is the meat of the article and the situation with her. Not a hateful thing in it, except for those who will divide us, and use their bullhorn to turn the hatred towards their opponents.
What she said was 100% true, and if not it is a valid opinion. Firing people for what they think or say is an abomination in the former Constitutional Republic. In the USA of 2021, it is so common that it is boring.
If Fox gives a job to this Gina person, then everything will have been put straight. Does she have good legs?
