Andrew Sage

And, of course, none of this ever even happened, right?

We can debate the effect to which cancellation ever was even really a thing or did anything at all, but she was not cancelled.

She literally resigned of her own free will.

She was not forced out.

She chose to leave in order to pursue a career as a right-wing grifter in other fields, namely Substack.

where she ran a newsletter that was sort of rebranded as like, oh, it's a media outlet called the Free Press.

It's like, no, this is Barry Weiss's substack.

Come on, what are we doing here?

What are we doing here?

Now, Weiss is not a journalist.

She is a right-wing ideologue.

She's also a hardline Zionist.

If you want to go into all of the absolutely unhinged shit that Barry Weiss has said and done over the years, all of the just unbelievably Islamophobic shit, all of the weird racist shit, all of the anti-immigrant shit that she said, there's a very good John Oliver thing about her.

She is part of this story, but if we spent this entire episode just talking about how much she fucking sucks, we would be here for like two decades.

Now, in a just world, none of this would matter at all.

This would just be a conservative walking off from the free job that she was given by the New York Times, stomping off at a huff and going to start a sub stack.

Whatever.

Who cares?

This is not a just world.

This is the United States.
