Laura Bassett calls out Bill Maher

5. The people who decided Matthews' time was up were corporate executives.

Not progressives.

Not "snowflake" millennials.

Guys in suits.

Rich guys in expensive suits who had a number of employees cost them money and bad publicity in recent years, and Tweety was on the wrong side of the cost/benefit calculation.

The "cancel culture" at work here isn't the one Mahar was so eager to rant about. It was the same old one that networks have operated under since the time they went into business: expected revenues don't justify expected costs, so that's all, folks!
