I love when reporters get a taste of their own medicine.
Well isn’t it ironic as I’m trying to go cancel my digital subscription for the DM Register but it won’t let me
I can't find one good or just reason why you would dig into a guy's past when he was just a kid saying something dumb. He isn't trying to run for office, he's not trying to get rich quick. He turned a funny sign into a great story that Cyclones and Hawkeyes can and have gotten behind. The only reason they did that was to insert themselves into the publicity and it's backfired mightily.
No one is condoning the tweets and people here seem to understand that humans do make mistakes yet we should be allowed to grow and learn from them.

You think the Rag has an extra 350k just laying around ? Or 10k for that matter. No way
No. But they should donate the rest of Aaron’s yearly salary to the cause cus he ain’t gonna be getting it!
Not sure why the Register felt like this needed to be brought up, before the deadline to donate to Carson. Ruined what was a great story (still is honestly) that brought a lot of good publicity to our state.
I can't fault Anheuser-Busch in any of this. They did the prudent move that every other corporate PR in America would have done.

Agreed. I don't like that companies like Anheuser-Busch do things like this as I wish they would just also accept he was a kid saying a dumb thing a long time ago...but I get it. They don't want to mess with it and they've already donated and been pretty great about the whole thing.
Calvin isn’t the only DMR employee that should be fired. The editor should be out.
The DMR can’t fold soon enough.

I think Busch will take a much larger PR hit from cutting ties with him than they would have if they had ignored it. Stupid PR move.
Lmao, I don’t see how the register doesn’t fire Aaron Calvin. His Twitter looks horrible!
Btw, looks like he made his Twitter private, but it is far too late. So many screenshots already.

This is an example of how when someone makes a mistake or has an unfortunate incident, we see it for what it is and move on. Seems like what should happen with Carson King too.
It is ironic. I honestly haven't had Busch LIght since probably college....more than a couple decades ago. I was thinking about trying it again based a lot on this whole campaign.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
So AB is cutting ties with Carson over him quoting a tv show. I can't prove it, but I'm willing to guess AB ads ran during the episode of Tosh.0 that Carson was quoting.
This why people should drink local beer. We push comes to shove, corporations like AB/Inbev only care about their stock price.
