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.

This episode we have an in-depth conversation about cancel culture and some of the moral panic's roots with Michael Hobbes, of the popular podcasts "You're Wrong About" and "Maintenance Phase."Katelyn, Oliver, and Michael discuss tactics the right uses to create moral panics and how they rope journalists in to spread their propaganda, how it's okay for college kids to be annoying and go a little too far, and why political correctness with new branding has reemerged as a pet issue of the right.
