Milltown Row2

The people coming on her shows know what they are going to get.. the producers of those shows have obviously wanted that reaction otherwise they would hire someone else. Its not her that's at fault, its the makers of the shows that hire her.

Personally I couldn't care less if she's 'cancelled' but we could shift through some shite on anyone and ban them too, this 'crusade' is a bit of a McCarthy witch hunt!

I don't care either.

My point is that she found a lot of success through that personality and expressing those views, whether it was genuine or an act. What brought her great fame and fortune back then may have negative repercussions for her now.

If the audience for Countdown doesn't like what she did and thinks someone else should have the job, they're perfectly entitled to voice those opinions and, if they see fit, boycott the show. Its up to the producers to decide whether its worth it to go with Robinson (and it might well be, ratings-wise).

That would be a yes then
my kids go to school and play sports with Asian,  black , Latino , Polynesian kids every day of the week they make up their own minds and judge people one at a time .
Calling 74m people who voted for a republican candidate white supremacists is much more dangerous and damaging to kids and it's on tv practically every day with no push back .

Sounds terribly like the old 'I have black friends therefore...' argument

The producers did decide, its them that hire based on how they see the show going, countdown isn't for the cancelled crowd anyhow. If she didn't work tomorrow she wouldn't be missed nor would she need the money I'd imagine.

You hire someone like her or that other clampit from Who wants to be a millionaire (can't even think his name) then you are hiring because of their personality be it fake or real

OK, let me change that to late 2020/early 2021 logic, or logic of the last 12 months, logic of the modern world, or whatever you want.
I found articles there from October which is only 5 months ago.

Still missing the who part of that answer.

Right, because right wingers don't lose their minds when some liberal singer endorses some political cause.

They went on a feeding frenzy last month when Bruce Springsteen was outed on a bullshit drink driving charge just because he had the audacity to make a non-offensive Super Bowl ad for Jeep advocating for a retreat from the poisonous public discourse driven by Trump.
