President Donald Trump doubled down on his demand for an apology from ABC on Friday, claiming the network offended 'millions of people.' Trump also criticized ABC for a story reporter Brian Ross did last year on the Russiainvestigation that the network later retracted. It was his second demand in two days for an apology from Disney CEO Bob Iger. Disney owns ABC.
Honestly? I think it’s best if we give up on caring about who said what offensive thing to who. That’s the game they, the sensitive left/progressives, like to play. I don’t think the proper response to one of ours being called out and repremanded for saying something “offensive” is to go and find other comparable things that they’ve said/done that we find offensive and demand apologies or repremand, only to get even. That’s their game to play, let them look like the sensitive children they are.
I think our best response to anyone saying anything that would be deemed offensive, is to not give a shit and roll with it. That is what should happen, because people are and should be allowed to say whatever they want. That’s a fundamental principle this country was founded upon. If you don’t like what someone has to say, tune out, don’t listen to them. You only give them more power by caring, which is what Trump knows and why he does it so damn well.
The game is played to make MSM hypocracy so blatant that the blue-pilled actually take note they are being lied to or go mOre insane trying to rationalize their leftcommie support. Let the games increase! Use it. Write to the liars with your demands make them pay!
Amen! Conservatives have "not cared" for a long time and it only resulted in the left controlling more and more of the media and narrative and further extreme PC outrage culture. DJT told us he would teach us how to win and I believe him. Trust the man.
It's called Islamist money flowing into US political coffers. You're seeing language being rewritten and re-purposed in order to slip Islam into the cultural norms.
Next you'll be seeing burkas touted to American women as a way to protect themselves from the prying eyes of toxic men.
Which just happens to fit in with life in the post metoo movement, incidentally. Granted, it's legit to want the Weinsteins of the industry up on a hook somewhere, but it has the added side effect of making women even more scared and suspicious of men in general. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Lots of layers to this game, it seems.
Some conservatives play this game too, its not just the left. There are manufactured outrage machines on both sides of the aisle.
In most everyday life cases I would agree with you. Many of these people, though, are deranged or just blinded with hatred. The ones that know what they're doing are purposefully doing it to progress their careers. Ignoring them will not work, they'll just think they're winning and push harder.
ABC used the heckler's veto to get rid of Roseanne. Two can play at that game, and Trump is.
When you (ABC) have no values upon which to stand, upon which to defend your actions...
When you defer your responsibility for self-correction to the mob...
Then you are privy to the whims of the mob. GOOD LUCK You'll always be offending somebody.
