A C-SPAN caller on Wednesday criticized the network for spending an hour on the subject of cancel culture, a right-wing notion which asserts that some people are being cancelled when they face consequences for their actions.
Washington Journal host Greta Brawner explained cancel culture by reading a Wikipedia definition that described the practice as a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles.
A man named James from San Francisco began his call by noting that he was a longtime fan of Brawner and C-SPAN. These terms that are being bantered around are extreme right-wing terms, James observed. The problem is we need the truth. We need facts. And it s anybody like [former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA)] who makes these incredible statements that are so incredibly arbitrarily made without facts behind it. We need the media to back up these things with facts.
