There aren't even real issues. A handful of people complain and the media runs with it like a wildfire.

Roseanne tweets something stupid in the middle of the night and a hundred people lose their jobs when her top rated show gets cancelled. What if the parent company of ABC didn't cancel the show but instead she offered an apology to everyone that was offended? Would we have seen boycotts of everything ABC and protests?

How about when Laura Ingraham called out David Hogg and the results were protests, threats of boycotts and some of her show sponsors cutting ties out of fear of the backlash.


Now this Twitter guy eats a sandwich and some are calling for his head.



Roseanne is a loud mouthed old lady.

Laura Ingraham is a right wing TV show host that has a right to her opinion under the First amendment.
The Twitter guy was hungry for a tasty sandwich...



If we cut ties with everything that we or someone does not approve of we would never get out of bed due to the fear of offending someone.





I can't keep up with the outrages of today. Is there a Lefty Liberal new letter or something to keep their members abreast of the crimes against humanity like eating a chicken sandwich?
The second post on this thread showed you an identical example coming from the right. What say you?

I have to agree with this. People will just say crap to say crap on Twitter. It's not newsworthy at all, until some news agency picks it up and then people on various other social media sites feel the need to make it a bigger deal than it is.

From I can tell with this issue, the guy took a picture of his Chick-Fil-A lunch and Soledad O'Brien decided to make a wisecrack about it. He should have ignored her.

Let me count the ways. Unhealthy, gross tasting, overpriced, discriminating, closed on Christian Sundays. First three are more than enough for me.

That's a great idea!

Until then, go visit democraticunderground.

Very entertaining.

Between the wide availability of the www and 24 hour news and commentary outlets we're stuck with that, unfortunately.
