Reply to comment by The_Lone_Apple in Inside the Cancellation of WNYC's 'The Takeaway' by MLNYC

Never even heard of the show until I saw this article. Maybe that's why it was canceled. Or someone thought themselves more important than they were and management deciding enough is enough. There's a little tell in her telling them she was stepping down when her demands were not met. But basically begging for her job back when told they were canceling the show. Her bluff was called.

The WNYC leadership is toxic AF and I wouldn't take their side of things at face value.

The harshest lesson that some people learn in life is that it isn't fair no matter how many songs you sing or chants you voice. This is especially true in media. It's about money, money, money, money and money.

Yeah, we still have employment laws and even if the firing is legal, doesn't mean it's above criticism. Responding to "that's unjust" with "well, life isn't fair" is defeatism and I reject it.

People can criticize anything they like. A show, a law, a piece of pizza, whatever.

Then I’m left to wonder about the point of your comment.

The point is that Perry can be as upset as she likes and try to make a thing out of it to benefit herself, but in the end it doesn't matter.

Wdym it doesn't matter? People were fired, a show was cancelled. Why are you posting "it doesn't matter" in this piece's comments section rather than in any other given news comment section? By "it doesn't matter" you mean "it happened" and somehow that's a dismissal of something?
