What BS. Her "market feedback" is due to a duplicitous toxic media which day by day is emboldening people to act this way by giving them a free pass on their behaviour. It has become "virtuous" to spew as much hatred as possible towards Trump, his family and his followers without any sort of accountability.
Rossaane Bar who says she didn't realise a woman was black but called her a monkey (which granted, is disgraceful) was widely condemned by both sides of politics. She lost everything even though she apologised. The next week Ivanka gets called a C..... and nothing happens. When a republican senator was shot and a massacre was fortunately prevented, a lot of the media hinted that it was karma. A lot did their best to cover up that it was a Bernie Sanders supporter. It's no coincident that it happened just after Maddona claimed she wanted to "blow up the white house", when johnny depp joked about the assassination of Trump, etc etc.
"Honest market feedback" is rubbish. This is all normalising unacceptable behaviour. The media have been complicit in continually lying and pushing a hateful agenda against the president while at the same time normalising descent against people based on their politics.
Peta Fonda threatened the president's son because it is now considered "virtuous" and has become acceptable behaviour. Tom Arnold threatens to show up at Barron Trump's school and instead of being widely condemned and embarrassed back into his hole, he is brought into a CNN studio to be interviewed. There are literally thousands of examples where the media, hollywood and parts of society keep giving free passes as this behaviour gets worse.
Now it has become "normal" to call for a former basketball great to "never work again in basketball" because he turned up to a Trump rally. This has nothing to do with "market feedback" and everything to do with normalising behaviour. Why is it that universities that were once the beacon of free speech and freedom of ideas are now rioting if anyone with an opposing voice speaks on campus (and this has been going on for years).
It's ironic that the CEO of Twitter last week had to apologise to "liberals" for eating at a Christian owner's restaurant, while a lady and her family were kicked out of a restaurant because they opposed "liberalism".
I've heard plenty of times that "liberalism is a disease" but I think it is fair to say that "liberalism has become a religion". And it became or was becoming a "religion" well before Trump arrived on the scene. If you are part of the crowd and conform, whatever you say or do is acceptable. BUT, if you dare stray and oppose our belief system, "we, along with a complicit media, will attack you where ever you are".
Ahh the irony, when decades of the past, it was the religious zealots that used to campaign to have the likes of Howard Stern banned from the airwaves or attack or call for bans against Hollywood and their liberal views.
Which ones are the religious fanatics now?

Very well said nickyjames and I have noticed this behaviour eroding what was not so long ago quite unacceptable.
I think the power of social media has simply gone to too many peoples heads who think they can change the world not with good debate but vitriol and slander.
Maybe the world should shut down Facebook,twitter and many other big social media platforms and let the world chill to reflect on themselves.Imagine the horror for the whiners but it would be an interesting concept to test.
