Following a series of apology tweets posted by Podcast Movement surrounding the impromptu visit to the conference from Ben Shapiro, Cumulus Media has announced it is ending its relationship with PM.
The Cumulus Podcast Network has been The Daily Wire’s advertising sales representative since 2016. The Ben Shapiro Show is also syndicated through Westwood One, which is owned by Cumulus.
The Company released the following statement: “At Cumulus Media, our tenet is that Every Voice Matters and we support conferences and trade events where differing political viewpoints can be expressed and received with respect. As such, we were dismayed and disappointed by Podcast Movement’s handling of the reaction to our partner, top podcaster, and conservative talk leader Ben Shapiro’s mere presence at Podcast Movement. After giving the leaders of Podcast Movement sufficient time to appropriately address their misstep, we are disassociating from Podcast Movement, including canceling our 2023 sponsorship plans.”
We reached out to Podcast Movement for a comment and did not hear back.
But no apology for the feelings of people who were hurt? It’s OK to just offend people? WRONG!
Feelings, whoa whoa whoa feelings. (performed by B-Hurt Band)
There were people crying Greg. even running to their hotel rooms. Have some decency. Podcast Movement needed to save people.
It is included in my habit that I often visit blogs in my free time, so after landing on your blog. I was thoroughly impressed with it and decided to take out some precious time to visit it again and again. Thanks
Wow!! Respect to Cumulus for turning the tables on “cancel culture!”
Really? Have you heard some of their urban shows? They literally pay people to promote cancel culture…
