CNN HAS DECIDED TO FIRE KATHY GRIFFIN AND
UN-INVITE HER FROM ANY FUTURE NEW YEAR'S EVE HOSTING JOBS THAT
SHE TYPICALLY DOES WITH ANDERSON COOPER.
KNOW WHERE THEY DOING THIS?
IF YOU MISSED THE NEWS YESTERDAY KATHY GRIFFIN GOT A LOT OF HATE
AND HE AFTER SHE POSTED A PHOTO OF HERSELF HOLDING AHEAD,
DECAPITATED HEAD THAT APPEARED TO LOOK LIKE DONALD TRUMP.
IT
WAS BLOOD HE, IT WAS GRAPHIC AND A LOT OF PEOPLE BOTH ON THE LEFT
AND THE RIGHT CRITICIZED HER FOR IT.
IS INCLUDED.
CNN REALLY
DIDN'T LIKE AND HERE'S WHAT THEY TWEETED THAT CNN HAS TERMINATED
OUR AGREEMENT WITH KATHY GRIFFIN TO APPEAR IN OUR NEW YEAR'S EVE
PROGRAM.
SHE DID APOLOGIZE WHICH INITIALLY, SHE TRIED TO
DEFEND THE IMAGE AS A WORK OF ART BUT I THINK AFTER SO MANY
PEOPLE CRITICIZE HER FOR IT, SHE KIND OF WISED UP AND REALIZED IT
WAS.
IS WHERE DUCK LIKE EVERYBODY, IT'S ME KATHY GRIFFIN
I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE.
I AM JUST NOTHING THE REACTION OF THE
DEBT,,, ACROSS, AND MOVE ON AND I CROSSED IT I WENT WAY TOO FAR
BURBANK.
IT WASN'T FUNNY.
I GET IT I'VE MADE A LOT OF
MISTAKES IN MY CAREER.
I WILL CONTINUE TO ASK YOUR
FORGIVENESS.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO TAKE DOWN THE IMAGE AND I
BEG FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS.
I WENT TO FAR, I MADE A MISTAKE
AND I WAS WRONG.
SO IT'S A FINE APOLOGY.
BUT USUALLY GET THAT
KIND OF APOLOGY WHEN IT HURTS YOUR POCKETBOOK.
WHEN IT HITS
THE WALLET YOU ARE LIKE OH, I AM SO SO SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN IT.
PLEX SURE, I TOTALLY ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY, NOT THAT SHE CARES, BUT
THAT WAS A GENUINE APOLOGY.
SHE REALIZED SHE WAS WRONG.
AT THE
SAME TIME, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE IN THIS CURRENT
POLITICAL CLIMATE, AN APOLOGY IS LIKE SUICIDE.
BECAUSE IF YOU
DON'T APOLOGIZE, IF YOU TAKE THE DONALD TRUMP ROUTE THEN YOU JUST
REFUSE TO APOLOGIZE AFTER YOU SAY CRAZY THINGS, PEOPLE JUST
FORGET ABOUT IT.
BUT THEN WHEN YOU DO APOLOGIZE I FEEL LIKE YOU
GET MORE CRITICISM AND MORE PEOPLE PILON.
ANDERSON COOPER,
WHO DOES HOST THESE NEW YEAR'S EVE SPECIALS WITH HER TWEETED
ABOUT THIS WHOLE INCIDENT AS WELL AND MAN, SHE IS UNDER THAT
BUS.
THIS IS JUST DIRTY.
I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THIS TWEET.
HE WROTE FOR THE RECORD, I AM APPALLED BY THE PHOTO SHOOT
KATHY GRIFFIN TO PART INTO IT IS CLEARLY DISGUSTING AND
COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE THAT JUST FEEL LIKE A LITTLE EXTRA,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN CLASSROOM IN A LITTLE TOO FAR DO I GET IT,
YOU COULD JUST SAY I DON'T AGREE WITH IT.
I WISH HE HADN'T DONE
THAT.
SHE'S A COLLEAGUE OF YOURS, JUST BRING IT DOWN TO
ADVERTISERS LATE BAILING ON YOU EITHER.
SUPER OBVIOUS.
FINAL THING ON THIS THAT I THINK IS RELEVANT IS LOOK, I
THINK ADVERTISERS ARE TOO RISK-AVERSE IN THE THINK
ALL OF MEDIA RISK-AVERSE AND ADJUSTING CRAZY.
LET ME GO ON THE RECORD RANDOMLY TO SAY I DON'T AGREE WITH
THE ADVERTISING BOYCOTT SEAN HANNITY.
WHAT?
GOING BACK WITH HER FRIEND AND BILL RILEY WITH A FRIEND I'M
NOT EVEN SURE I AGREED WITH THOSE, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY HAD
CROSSED A LOT OF WINE STOPPER BILL O'REILLY, IT WAS PHYSICAL
DATA ACROSS PHYSICAL LINES SEAN HANNITY, YOU DON'T AGREE WITH
SOME CONSPIRACY HE HAS.
WHATEVER.
BUT IN THIS ONE, I DO
AGREE AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.
IT IS BECAUSE WERE COARSENING
EVERYTHING BY EVERYONE TRYING TO GRAB ATTENTION AND USUALLY WHAT
WE DO IS, YOU DO OR SAY HORRIBLE THINGS, YOU GET MORE ATTENTION
AND YOU ARE REWARDED FOR IT.
I LIKE THAT WE HAVE DRAWN SOME
LIEN ON THE OUTER OUTER EDGES, RIGHT WHEN YOU SHOW THE
CAPITATED PRESIDENTS HAD APPARENTLY THERE IS A LINE AND
WE'RE NOT GOING TO REWARD YOU FOR TRYING TO GRAB ATTENTION IN
THAT WAY I SEE IN HIS EXITS HERE WITH KATHY GRIFFIN.
I AGREE THAT A SINGLE NEEDLESSLY ROCKSOLID MUSLIMS AND I ALSO
AGREE THAT WE ACCEPT HER APOLOGY AND MOVE ON WITH HER LIVESTOCK.
I JUST WANT TO DRAW A REALLY QUICK DISTINCTION BETWEEN A LINE
THAT DEMOCRATS WILL AGREE TO VERSUS ALIGNED THAT REPUBLICANS
WILL AGREE TO NOT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WOULD BE THIS MUCH
BACKLASH IF THE TABLES WERE TURNED AND A RIGHT WING PUBLIC
FIGURE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR TOWARD A LIBERAL PRESIDENT
OR A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE.
HE THINKS OF QUEST OF THIS IS SPECULATION BUT I JUST FEEL
LIKE I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF HEINOUS THINGS
SAID BY TRUMP THAT REPUBLICANS CONTINUOUSLY DEFEND.
BUT LIKE I SAID YESTERDAY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE ORIGINAL KATHY GRIFFIN STORY.
IF YOU SHOWED THE DECAPITATED HEAD OF OBAMA BLOODIED
PEOPLE WOULD'VE BEEN SUPERMAN.
ME BE CLEAR THOUGH BECAUSE THERE WERE ANY PUBLIC FIGURES
THAT I KNOW OF AT LEAST IT DID THAT, HOWEVER, THERE WERE
CERTAINLY A LOT OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS WHO SHARED IMAGERY
OF OBAMA HANGING FROM A NEWS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.
BEST STUFF WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC FIGURES AND PRIVATE
CITIZENS THE.
TARGET PRACTICE OF HILLARY CLINTON BARACK OBAMA BUT THE
BLOODIED, SEVERED HEAD IS SO VISUAL, SO GRAPHIC THAT I THINK
IT IS A DIFFERENT LINE.
YOU PUT ANY OTHER HAD THERE, HILLARY
CLINTON, BERNIE SANDERS, NO.
PEOPLE WOULD'VE BEEN LIVID.
I THINK IT WOULD'VE IN THE SAME REACTION IN THIS CASE.
THAT IS MY OPINION.
