Episode Reviews

There are three different stories mashed together in this one.First, the story of a business that has been subjected to boycotts after the revelation that one of it employees wrote some deeply racist tweets. I think reasonable people could disagree on this one. Personally, I would probably have let it go after the apology, but I can understand people who think there are enough brands of hummus in this world that they don't have to buy from someone whose daughter wrote that she agrees with Hitler's ideology. We have a right to free speech, but not the right to customers.Second, the problem of free speech at universities. Good point!Third, creeping intolerance. I think I would have been more objective about this one if any of Weiss's examples had been of right wing intolerance, as opposed to all left. She comes across as just being concerned about liberals, even though she says she is worried about cultural change across the whole country.This was a good introduction to Conservative thinking about this particular culture war, and I am very interested in hearing the best argument, but this is not the right start if she really wants to make a non-partisan show.
