Goldberg: Trump Admin. Canceling Shows Today Would Place Pressure on Future Dem. Admins to a Tit-for-Tat with Right-Wing Media
EXCERPT:
GOLDBERG: “I‘m not a big fan of cancel culture. I think there‘s a cancel culture of the left and a cancel culture of the right, but the argument from conservatives was always that, you know, it‘s the most dangerous kind is when the federal government uses the power of the state to impose its will on free speech. An,d like, we‘ve seen this cycle with lawfare, with violations of norms, one side violates the norms and the other side gets into power and violates them even more because they use that precedent. We can talk about that with things like the filibuster or all sorts of things. If you don‘t think there‘ll be enormous pressure on the next Democratic administration to play tit-for-tat against right-wing talk radio, I think you‘re crazy. Of course they‘re going to try and do that. And that‘s why you‘re supposed to have neutral rules that sort of stick to the merits rather than this sort of bring one junta in, attack the other side, bring the other junta in and get payback. And that‘s the cycle that we‘re going to see here."
