If the wave is not big enough to sweep away the target, the target can talk to management and become entrenched enough to withstand similar waves as they come. In order to succeed the outrage has to come in a much bigger wave. At this point Carlson is a known quantity and any company who pays to advertise on his show knows what the show is about. The advertisers aren't going to be blindsided over whatever he says and they're not sensitive to boycott threats. The ADL did exactly the right thing in their language and demands. They have to publicly hold him to account for his bigotry. But their calling for him to be fired isn't enough to get him fired and they know that. In the longer term politics is continually undergoing changes and political media goes through its own changes. The circumstances might change to make it unacceptable to have a host openly spout bigotry on the air. We're not there yet and as much as it is important to keep pointing out instances of his bigotry it just won't get him booted from the air. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
