Cancelling The Young Turks (ft. Bennie)

This week Katelyn and Oliver sit down with the twitch streamer Bennie, who recently quit her show at The Young Turks news network because of growing transphobia. The three of us discuss navigating hostile media environments as a trans person, disinformation, cis fragility and so much more.

The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media. Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actually being suppressed and left out of the conversation.
