🧵 CNN has banned far-right panelist Ryan Girdusky for a violently bigoted joke against progressive commentator Mehdi Hasan.
This was the right decision. But as a former TV booker, what happened is part of a much bigger problem.
The mainstream media is so obsessed with "balance" that it now is routinely platforming outright racists and bigots. This needs to end.
