So to my understanding, the criticizing would have been OK, if the reporter hadn't had any issues of his own?

No, the game is do unto them as they do unto us. They crapped the bed, now they get to sleep in it.

I believe in the Golden Rule, but it can only come back after Team Prog sues for peace. #CancelTheCancelers

Sure, but if the reporter had been clean then it woulda been ok?

At some point the publisher needs to be held to account.

Good for him. Go ahead and criticize and critique somebody but be ready for your own serving or two.

That's the crux of things, isn't it? What's behind this drive to discredit anyone who gains a bit of notoriety? The kid tried to do something nice. Why the need to "investigate" his background? I guess if you are going to put your whole life out on social media you have to be prepared for this sort of thing. But who gains from this sort of activity? Nobody's perfect.

No, the game is do unto them as they do unto us.

Is it really about us vs. them? Is there any indication this kid was political before this event? Or is it a symptom of some sort of social pathology? This has got me scratching my head.

Nowithstanding Carson's sophomoric episode, he's showing a whole lot of class now. And even more after the 'investigation' results came out. In total contrast to the poor-me news reporter that blames others for his stupidity and double-standard.

It's a sickening situation.......

I mean, how far in the PAST does something have to be?

So then.......
I hope that all of you have signed releases from every person that you've been with. Otherwise, they could scream _________. Doesn't matter how many years have passed. If you don't have it. You're guilty, until proven innocent. That is how it works, TODAY. Luckily, I'm not running for a public office. And, I don't have the money to pay off my accuser(s).

Aloha, Mark

Cancel culture is expanding to law makers, this is getting ridiculous:

JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs join U.S. corporations halting political donations after Capitol riot

The moves were part of the fallout of Wednesday's riot that forced American corporations to come to terms with how to respond.

Nope, the lesson is once you've turned both cheeks, it's time to sell your cloak, just to mix metaphors.
