CHARLES: THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
CHARLES: THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
STANDING UP AGAINST WHAT THEY
CALL CANCEL CULTURE WITHIN THEIR
OWN RANKS.
THE EDITORIAL BOARD IS SAYING
THAT THEY WILL NOT WILL UNDER
PRESSURE AFTER 280 STAFFERS SENT
A LETTER DEMANDING THAT PAPER
FACT CHECK AND BE MORE
TRANSPARENT IN ITS OPINION PAGES
AND JOINING ME NOW DISTRICT
MEDIA PRESIDENT BEVERLY HALBERG.
THERE’S BEEN SOME TENSIONS THERE
FOR A LONG TIME BUT TO SEE IT
SPILL OUT LIKE THAT IS REALLY
AMAZING AND WE SEEN OTHER MEDIA
OUTLETS PARTICULARLY MAGAZINES
AND NEWSPAPERS, WHERE
ESTABLISHED FOLKS, VERY
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
PUSHED OUT.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS ONE?
>>  IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE THIS CAME TO THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL ITSELF, AS YOU’RE
MENTIONING THERE ARE OTHER
OUTLETS THAT HAVE SEEN IT THE
NEW YORK TIMES MOST NOTABLY
HAD A LOT OF CHAOS WHEN SENATOR
TOM COTTON DID PIN AN OP-ED
ABOUT HIS PREFERENCE OF USING
MILITARY TO QUELL THE RIOTS
TAKING PLACE BUT YOU ALSO HAD AN
OPINION COLUMNIST ROUGHLY 10
DAYS AGO PEN THIS REALLY DAMMING
RESIGNATION AGAINST HER
COLLEAGUES SAYING THAT SHE HAD
BEEN BULLIED JUST BY HAVING
DIVERGENT VIEWS BY NOT FOLLOWING
IN LINE WITH THIS PROGRESSIVE
WOKE IDEOLOGY SO I GIVE A LOT OF
CREDIT TO THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL WHO MADE IT VERY CLEAR
THEY ARE NOT THE NEW YORK TIMES
AND THAT THEY AREN’T GOING TO
SUCCOMB TO CANCEL CULTURE.
CHARLES: WELL, I GUESS THOUGH,
WHO HAS SUCCOMB ARE CONSERVATIVE
S PARTICULARLY
STRONG CONSERVATIVES, A SURVEY
SAYS ONLY 23% OF STRONG
CONSERVATIVES FEEL COMFORTABLE
TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL
ABOUT THINGS WHEREAS 58% OF
STRONG LIBERALS ARE OKAY WITH IT
SO IT’S PROVIDING COVER FOR
LIBERALS ARE REAL STRONG
OPINIONS BUT IF YOU’RE IN
SOCIETY TODAY AND YOU’RE A
CONSERVATIVE YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP
YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH
THAT.
>>  IT’S A HUGE PROBLEM AND HERE
IS WHAT I THINK IS IRONIC WHEN
YOU SAW A FEW WEEKS AGO A LOT OF
COVERAGE ON BLACK LIVES MATTER
THE POLITICAL ORGANIZATION
CONSERVATIVES WHO HAVE AN ISSUE
WITH THE POLITICAL ORGANIZATION
WHILE THEY STILL BELIEVE THAT
BLACK LIVES DO MATTER AND ARE
IMPORTANT, THEY FOUND THAT THEY
WERE MET WITH PEOPLE SAYING THAT
THEIR SILENCE WAS DEAFENING AND
THAT SILENCE IS VIOLENCE, NOW WE
HEAR THE SPEECH IS VIOLENCE SO
IF YOU HAVE THE WRONG OPINION,
THEN THAT IS VIOLENCE AS WELL
AND SO I THINK WHAT MANY
PEOPLE ARE DOING OUT THERE ARE
JUST KEEPING QUIET.
THEY ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP.
THEY DON’T WANT TO GET INTO
CONTENTIOUS DEBATES AND FOR
THOSE PROGRESSIVES OUT THERE
WHO REALLY BELIEVE IN THEIR
TEND
TO GO UNDERGROUND AND FESTER.
WE SHOULD WANT PRODUCTIVE DEBATE
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT THE MOB
WANTS, CHARLES.
CHARLES: SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT
WE REALLY NIGHT GET A TEST OF
THE SILENT MAJORITY IN NOVEMBER.
MEANWHILE, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN’T
SHARE THE WINNERS THIS WEEK, BUT
I BE REMISS NOT TO TALK ABOUT A
BIG LOSER AND THAT’S NEW YORK
GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO.
HE’S NOW TELLING NEW YORKERS
THAT WHAT IS AND ISN’T
SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO BE A FOOD
TO ENJOY WITH DRINKS AT A BAR OR
RESTAURANT SO AS MANY OF THESE
PLACES ARE CLOSING OR  BARELY
HANGING ON HE WANTS TO SQUASH
THEIR NATURAL SURVIVAL INSTINCTS
TO DO THINGS LIKE CUOMO CHIPS
DESIGNED TO OVERCOME ANOTHER ONE
OF HIS ABSURD RULES AND HERE WE
ARE AGAIN ANDREW CUOMO AT WAR
WITH NEW YORK BARS.
BEVERLY HE’S MY LOSER OF THE
WEEK.
>>  HE IS A BIG LOSER FIRST OF
ALL STILL HE’S NOT POSSESSED UP
TO HIS BAD POLICY OF LETTING P
EMPLOYEE WHO HAD COVID INTO
NURSING HOMES WE STILL DON’T
KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED
BECAUSE OF IT AND NOW HE’S
SAYING YOU CAN’T EAT CHICKEN
WINGS IF YOU GO TO A BAR IT MUST
BE A SANDWICH.
WHAT I DO LIKE WITH THIS IS
RESTAURANTS ARE GETTING CREATIVE
SAYING JUST PAY A DOLLAR FINE
AND WE’LL GO ALONG WITH THIS
SILLY REGULATION BUT WHAT
YOU SEE WITH THE GOVERNOR IN NEW
YORK IS HE’S A LITTLE POWER
HUNGRY TAKING THAT EXECUTIVE
AUTHORITY AND TAKING IT TO AN
EXTREME AND SADLY IT’S THE
NEW YORKERS WHO ARE THE ONES
ON THE LOSING SIDE OF THIS.
