CNN’s @oliverdarcy: "While downplaying [Biden’s] accomplishments, such as the impressive roll out of the vaccines, Fox and the broader right-wing media machine have started to tie several negative news stories together to paint Biden's presidency as disastrous in its totality." 
@oliverdarcy Echoing an increasingly popular talking point, Oliver additionally claims Liz Cheney was “canceled.”
Once more, let’s state for the record what Cancel Culture actually means …

@oliverdarcy Cancel Culture is when ordinary people find it impossible to hold an occupation/pursue their passion due to beliefs others find disagreeable. At its core, it's a phenomenon meant to intimidate non-famous people into accepting the views of the most aggressive.
@oliverdarcy As @bdomenech wrote: "That's why calling for Ralph Northam to resign isn't cancel culture, but a random student losing their scholarship over a TikTok with the n-word is."
@oliverdarcy @bdomenech By definition, politicians facing blowback over their public sector performance doesn’t qualify as “Cancel Culture.” Govs. Cuomo and Noem both wrongly claimed they were being “canceled” after their constituents became angry at their behavior.
@oliverdarcy @bdomenech Suggesting politicians should be immune from accountability has nothing to do w/ Cancel Culture and everything to do w/ protecting the powerful. And if we’re to remain a free country, politicians’ perks/priveleges must be the least secure of anyone.
@oliverdarcy @bdomenech When in doubt about what Cancel Culture actually is, just refer to this tweet:
