Thanks it's been years since I watched that. Yep the money definitely scared him.

lol yes he is, fear of big checks is not an issue.

I don't mean a single check or payment, they can take his money and career.
They is the gatekeepers, Exec's, anybody in a position with power, money and connections.

It don't stop right there. Right wing radio full of people who made careers out of trashing vulnerable people,no backlash. Howard Stern didn't face backlash he got promoted and celebrated. Jeff Ross given shows to roast people.

Yes words do matter but everything is not equal, yelling fire in a crowded theater or threatening to blow up people is not the same as a comedian telling jokes to people who paid to see him or clicked on his Netflix special.

If I stabbed someone at work should I face the same backlash/punishment that you did, because you stole something ?

If they are doing it behind the scenes, it will be hard to prove. It didn't start or stop with the Red scare but it did happen.
