From the DM’s Kennedy:
No one should lose a job – in the media or otherwise – for saying something that offends the government.
But that’s not what happened here.
Kimmel got canceled because he offended the American viewing public en masse. That’s just bad business.
Quite right. To paraphrase The Godfather: “It’s not personal: it’s just business.”
And if your behavior angers customers — in this case, a TV show with already-appalling viewership — expect the hammer.
One might think that the Bud Lite and Cracker Barrel episodes should be enough of a warning signal to these tools. But they’re lived for so long as a protected species that they doubtless think that the rules don’t apply to them.
Is there some of the old Schadenfreude that they’re starting to learn differently?
