Honestly, is anyone really shocked that St Jude's refunded the $? Really? They want nothing to do with the Alt-right or any racist ideals. Of course they're going to refund the $. Can you imagine the PR nightmare it would be for them if they kept it?

i guess. i dont know. it’s just upsetting to me. $28,000 could have helped a lot of people. if the WSJ didnt tattle tale on them they would have received that money.

It's not that much compared to the usual amount. + as someone else stated, what headline will more likely lose them consistent donors? "ST Jude's accepts donations from the alt-right" or "ST Jude refunds donations from the alt-right"? The 1st one would be a huge mess for them.

I don't like the idea of "won't someone think of the children" being replaced with "won't someone think of the headline". This set a bad precedent of charities only being able to accept money from the "correct" people

That's pretty much the goal. This is about legacy media exerting control over new media.

My worry is just where do we draw the line? Sure, these were legitimate far righters, but we know it won't stop there. It never does

There shouldn't be a line. The idea that a charity could be bullied into renouncing a donation from *anyone* should be abhorrent to any reasonable person. If it's helping children they should accept nazi gold.

They weren't bullied. They were already planning on working with YouTube to refund the $pic.twitter.com/VejENyNfLV

They would say that wouldn't they. Must be a pure coincidence that none of this happened until the day the article was released. Magical, truly.
