The Babylon Bee Stands In Solidarity With Its Fellow Cancelled Satire Site CNN+

Babylon Bee–After investing hundreds of millions of dollars CNN finally unveiled its new satire site CNN+. Unfortunately, only 3 weeks later CNN+ has been canceled—prematurely ending what was certain to be one of the funniest sites ever made. This sort of cancel culture censorship has been targeting comedians for too long, and it must stop.

This is why The Babylon Bee has decided to formally take a stand beside our fellow satire site, CNN+. We too know exactly what it feels like to be suddenly canceled for the simple crime of bringing laughter to the world. When we heard CNN+ wasn’t being canceled for another sex scandal we were shocked, but once we heard that comedy was blatantly being censored again we were outraged.

CNN+ Is Shutting Down One Month After Launch

Variety–Warner Bros. Discovery is shutting down CNN+ as of April 30, marking one of the company’s first significant maneuvers since completing the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery less than two weeks ago.

The decision puts an abrupt end to an ambitious and aggressive venture that people familiar with the matter say rankled David Zaslav, the new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, from the start. Zaslav was annoyed by the decision of Jason Kilar, the former CEO of WarnerMedia when it was owned by AT&T, to launch CNN+ just weeks before Discovery was set to take over operations. But he was unable to communicate with WarnerMedia management, owing to legal boundaries surrounding the merger process.

CNBC reports, “Wayfair joins TripAdvisor, Nutrish in pulling ads from right-wing TV host Laura Ingraham over tweet to Parkland survivor“.

In a statement on Thursday, a company spokesperson said that TripAdvisor does not “condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster.”

“In our view, these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency. As such, we have made a decision to stop advertising on that program,” the spokesperson said.

It seems, however, that Mr. Demagogue Hogg can say anything he wants to an not be held to any reasonable standard.  Here’s an example from CNN, “Shooting survivor calls NRA ‘child murderers’.”  And TripAdvisor doesn’t consider statements like that ‘inappropriate’?  Here’s a clip of the young man delivering his screed.

Here’s a link to the complete CNN interview.
