The hypocrisy and inconsistency is deafening.

The governor of 10 million people says "mother fucker" and the dumb Dems cheer and think it's hilarious.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gretchen ... 54c3fe4822

A nobody baseball announcer for the Cincinnati Reds says "fag," and the dumb Dems are like, "Crucify him!!!"

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/us/cinci ... index.html
I agree 100% with you. If you go to England, a fag is a cigarette. Heaven forbid someone from the British Isles come over and ask someone for a smoke. They'll get thrown in jail. Didn't a NYC judge rule a few years ago that you can say anything you want? Freedom of speech, or something along those lines. I should look that up.

The governor can say MF on national TV. No big deal I guess. Yet what would happen to you or me if we walked up to her in public, or at a restaurant, and said the same thing to her? I'll bet ya we get locked up. What do you think?

There is such a two way hypocrisy going on with saying things anymore.
Either everyone can say a certain word without fear of retribution, or absolutely no one can say a certain word without fear of retribution. You can't have it both ways.

Of course a pile of human garbage like trollnlife sees no problem with this slur....she uses it regularly on this site.

But this IS a site dedicated to broadcasting. Many, if not, most of us have been in front of a live microphone hundreds or thousands of times. There are things you simply cannot say. Clearly, this is one of them. If Brenaman is so stupid to do it, he should pay the price, just like anyone else who completely screwed up at their job.

How would it go for the average reporter if he/she states, "This is CBS motherfuckers"?

Audio and you are the only people who aren't trolls in this thread. Done responding to them.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

If a reporter said it, he would be fired. But the governor is not employed by a broadcast network. You dont like her words or actions,, vote her out of her job.

To compare the 2 situations is like apples and platypus.

It wasn't the FCC who canned Brennaman. FOX didn't wait for some commissioners to vote. They axed this guy within hours. He had a job and he broke virtually the first rule of it. He deserved it completely.

I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, but she doesn't deserve praise for breaking the rules either.

I know it's hip and edgy, but it's still wrong. Especially when it's entirely possible that there are young people that look up to her (perish the thought).

Ah, so it’s not the word but the person’s skin color that says it! Got it, Skippy!

So much hip hop is “nigger,” yet nobody is losing their jobs over that. In fact, they’re selling more albums to people like you who appreciate hypocrisy and double standards.
WHAT?!? Where did I mention skin color? Oh, that's right...whenever you lose an argument, which is frequently, you have to deflect because you can't admit you were wrong.

Not arguing with that. I am not all that familiar with Michigan politics living so far away. Just saying to compare the two is ludicrous.

It isn't ludicrous though, because they are both on television.
