So it looks like NPR rage quit twitter because they were given a designated tag called "State Affiliated Media" and then later changed to Government Funded Media.
NPR said in a statement Wednesday that it “will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent.”
“Defund @NPR,” was Musk’s tweeted response. His latest tiff with a news organization reflects a gamble for the social media platform he bought last year.

So, the Bud Light issue/boycott. I don't drink that particular brand when I have beer, so in a way, I'm already boycotting it lol
But I think the issue isn't necessarily because there is a trans person there, Dylan Mulvaney. I think the issue is that Dylan Mulvaney is for trans affirming care for minors and just had a conversation about during a visit to the White House, with Joe Biden seemingly in agreeance.
But apparently, lots of people are taking notice and taking it seriously. Notable figures such as Kid Rock and Travis Tritt are the two public figures that come to mind and are getting the most publicity out of it. So far the bad publicity for BL has cost them $6.65 billion dollars.
I don't think Anheuser Busch really thought this through, most likely just looking for cheap social credit points. Dylan Mulvaney is an trans activist that pushes for trans affirming care that includes chemical castration and frankensteining bodies of kids. I just don't think they really looked into this person, just saw that they were famous on Tik Tok and went to the WH. But 6.65bil is a huge mistake.

That’s inclusion for you. Their marketing VP is an idiot. And I’m skeptical that dude is even trans. He seems like a gay dude playing a caricature of an over the top stereotypical woman. But get them clicks.
And no, Trans should be unacceptable in general. The only mental health illness where instead of trying to fix it they just let them go with their wild fantasies.

Talk about not knowing your customers. Whatever your opinion of trans makes no difference. An idiot can probably do a reasonable guess of the Bud Light demographic. If Anheiser Busch insists on virtue signaling, business school 101 would tell them not to use the Bud Light brand for it.
Besides, it’s a urine tasting swill that will never become en vogue with the young wine crowd.
This will for an excellent HBS case study in future years.

To be fair, boycotting a product and canceling a person are vastly different things.
I don’t care one way or another about this Bud Light nonsense, probably because I don’t drink beer at all anyway.
Also, while no sales information is out yet, to act like AnH-Busch hasn’t lost billions in the stock market since this announcement is also laughable.
Last I saw was $6B lost in the market since the Mulvaney announcement.
Geeblock thinks everybody who doesn't think like him are Trumping white supremacists trying to keep everybody else down. It's his schtick

Nothing makes me laugh harder than the people who cry about cancel culture cancel things..
Not buying a beer brand is not the same as cancelling someone. Beer bottles aren’t people.
