#Borsato zegt dat hij leeft bij de gratie van het publiek, maar dat een deel van dat publiek hem nu verkettert. "Ik weet niet of ik ooit nog een noot kan uitbrengen, zelfs als de rechtbank mij vrijspreekt."

[Saskia Belleman @SaskiaBelleman]

Eerder schreven mijn collega en ik dit verhaal over de zaak.
Krijgt van ontucht beschuldigde Marco Borsato ooit nog een podium? ’Nederlanders zijn vergevingsgezind, maar daar is wel wat voor nodig’ https://t.co/eZbFEBt7k0

Everyone is getting this Jimmy Kimmel thing wrong.

A) It's not cancel culture when it comes from the government. It is censorship and state repression, just like in traditional authoritarian regimes.

B) Kimmel wasn't taken off the air for crotizing Kirk. He was taken off for criticizing Trump's lack of concern for Kirk. It was a criticism of the government. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture" and everything to do with freedom of speech.

Don't let them gaslight you into thinking this is a minor chapter in the culture wars. This is so much more.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."
