Time to cut out our Busch Light love affair

[Rods79]

Sounds like Daniel Tosh should step in now and match the donation.

Here it is.

Referencing old social media posts is so out of place...so odd.

Don't click on the link. Stop giving them clicks. Just copy and paste the words

If you care and have the means, why not donate the money straight to the hospital?

A-B was looking for an out. They don't want to spend any more money on a publicity stunt that's run its course.

Simple as that. I am zero percent surprised this is happening.

AB net worth is in the billions. I doubt their tax deductible donation is hurting their bottom line.

Can someone clear up how things went down initially...

Did the Rag reporter just simply make Carson aware of the situation and he (Carson) then decided to address it regardless?

Or did the Rag essentially say "Hey, we got this dirt, we're going to run a story, but we'll let you get out in front of it first"?

 

[Gunnerclone]

Uh oh

Oh fella.

 

[cydsho]

Seriously. The guy gets over a million dollars donated to a very good cause and someone thinks it a good idea to tear him down. We live in the dumbest timeline.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Uh oh

And THIS ladies and gentleman is why the outrage culture/cancel culture is just stupid as ****

Or people in glass houses.....

Exactly why it's stupid. You can't tell me that there's anyone on the planet that hasn't done or said something they regret because of how it would be interpreted from the outside world. We're humans, we laugh at stupid jokes, especially when we're 16. We all live in a glass house.

Rag is about to lose a lot of subscriptions... Good

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Uh oh

If that is legit then that guy is screwed like a certain reporter not to be named in a cheap motel.

College Game Day turned out to be curse to the state.

i must say i have it documented that i predicted that on the iowa rivals site before it was even announced

wait till you read my armageddon post on the cave later this fall

 

[3TrueFans]

Is that really relevant to anything?

Excuse me for asking a question.

 

[Urbandale2013]

I feel like we need a poll now. Rate their incompetence.

1. Mediacom
2. Busch
3. DMR
4. U of I public relations
5. Fly

Somehow the fly is the smartest there.

 

[cycfan1]

How ******* stupid can you be to not run a smear campaign on a kids social media and not background check your own first. Karma is a *****

That's what I assume, too. I'm a little confused because Keith Murphy (& I'm sure others) are backtracking & deleting tweets. And the original WHO story said something to the effect of "Per a Des Moines Register Report" & now they say "a reporter for the Des Moines Register first called attention to the tweet".

 

[cdface]

This type of crap is pathetic but leftist culture for you.

Reads like a classic example of trying to save face
