Rare example of progressive outrage being easy to monetize: The current #2 show across all prime-time TV was canceled for an offensive tweet. Picking it up is free money to any network that values viewers over inoffensiveness. @FOXTV?https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/29/business/media/roseanne-barr-offensive-tweets.html …
Corporations are profit-maximizing, and there is an audience (Trump voters) who may view this controversy as positive. So it seems unlikely no one will pick up the $100,000 bill on the ground. I'm not saying anything about whether they should, only that they will.

Again, just an argument for viewing the whole process with suspicion. Besides, what you’re saying doesn’t follow, there are ways that reaching for that $100,000 bill exposes risks that don’t exist otherwise.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
