In reply to the discussion: Foundation cancels RBG award ceremony that would have honored Musk, Murdoch after family's outcry [View all]ificandream
(11,844 posts)15. Martha Stewart has said she's not a Republican, but she also didn't endorse a candidate in 2020
But it should come as no surprise that when the Times asked her about whether she planned to publicly support a candidate in the 2020 presidential election, Stewart said she is not publicly endorsing anyone, because it would be bad for business. She says, My personal conundrum is, my friends know who I am and what I stand for, but in terms of being the owner of the magazine as well as a number of consumer brands and media franchises how do you take sides when 50 percent of your readers might be on one side, and 50 percent on the other? Its difficult. Thats my answer to that.

Well, they've taken down their website. I'm sure they were flooded with complaints.

I read that as "cancel the ceremony" but the awards will still be given out quietly/privately
