    The marketplace deciding the fate of a paid talking head? Capitalism works.

    Marketplace? Really?

    The marketplace would be her viewership numbers dropping. This is corporate people terrified of being accused of racism or sexism or in this case "bullying" a high school kid.

    You know a kid who comes out swinging but is off limits somehow.

    No. But I am getting ready to head up the coast the Santa Cruz and from there take a route out to the backside of the Pacific high and then reach back into Bandon. It might be spectacular run. We should hit the big eddy of the Pacific en-route.

    That sounds like a much more interesting, and fruitful endeavor.

    She should come up with some better takes than some weak ass ad hominem if she really wanted to wade into the middle of this. She fucked up and now she's paying a (probably temporary) cost.

    Tempest in a teapot.

    She comes out swinging and you think she is off limits somehow?
    You are complaining about people who complain about things. You make fun of people when they are outraged about things that you find trivial. You are showing outrage against something that is trivial. Do you not see the hypocrisy involved here?

    Nope. I'm worried about the future. I don't care about her at ALL.

    I am one of a few if not the only one who thought Franken shouldn't have to resign.

    She isn't off limits but these aren't words used to show her she is wrong. This is "fuck you WE will bully your sponsors into silencing you"

    Watch Black Mirror if you haven't. Every word you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion.

    BUT HES JUST A KID!! who somehow can't defend himself but at the same time everybody backs what he says on a very very important subject when it comes to gun laws. I think mr david hogg can take it. I am sure he has heard worse from gun nuts on twitter in his mentions

    I give a shit about it. Sometimes I'm just a hypocrite and say so. I just wish other people would admit it once in a blue moon.

    Well, let me know when you see it. I am not so sure it is always the salient point when it does come up.

    Yes, it seems there is hypocrisy working big time here. Worry of a kid getting bullied when the left is using him like one time postage stamp for their bull shit anti Constitutional causes. Perhaps the word hypocrisy is a little light weight for this case.

    I only like angry Twitter mobs when they agree with me.

    I think not only can he defend himself, he did defend himself by calling out her sponsors. Laura Ingraham, a professional shit-slinger just got wolloped by a kid. Why? Because this kid has a voice that’s being heard right now.

    I had no idea what this thread was about until I saw a news story last night about a woman commentator on Fox who was denigrating one of the young kids from Parkland, Florida who are lobbying for more gun control. Now, I think she's the one being discussed in here. If she is the one in the topic here then I've got a couple things to say.

    1. This is America and everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves;
    2. She exercised her American right to make a royal ass out of herself.

    What's more to say?

    Yeah exactly, I’m just saying some people give too much power to those who are slandering these kids but at the same time they also are giving too much power and trust to the kids as well. While conveniently ignoring the kid from the school that’s a conservative. Kyle kashuv is his name. Nobody is giving this kid the time of day because of his views. Everybody knows David Hogg but not this kid. Why? Because he’s pro gun. That’s not the agenda of national news media except fox. I’m just saying, it needs to be equal across the board

    Agreed, it needs to be equal.

    Why do we only hear about the 17 kids that were killed with a gun, and not the other 17 kids who were killed with gun control that day? It's like the latter group doesn't even exist...
