The Left loves cancel culture, but it needs to immunize properly credentialed members of the Left and its Journalism Guild from cancellation, so it's working hard to plant the idea that criticism of them is always "bad faith" and should be ignored.
It's a nifty racket. Lefties can dig up ancient comments or actions from decades ago, or fabricate controversy, but as soon as a credentialed lefty is hit with smelly old email, tweet, or Facebook post, suddenly the intentions of the people who uncovered it are the story.
Of course, lefties aren't going to dig up "problematic" material about credentialed lefties, so everything that ever threatens people of the Left with cancellation will come from someone who isn't a leftie, and is therefore acting in "bad faith" by definition.
It's not surprising coming from an ideology that wants Americans to view themselves as criminals, their country a prison overseen by the stern but caring wardens of the Democrat Party. Naturally they think of culture as a trial they can game with legalisms and courtroom antics.
They're trying to establish a rule that evidence against THEM in the endless criminal trial of culture can be stricken from the record because it was produced in "bad faith." This will become another perk of membership in the Ruling Party.
Everyone who fails to prove their loyalty to the Party and obtain the proper political credentials is subject to ruin at any moment, and not a single question will ever be asked about the "bad faith" of the social media mob or journalist hit squad that gets you canceled. /end
