   Teen Vogue staffers outraged by old nigg

   Sucks to be you.   
      
   Teen Vogue staffers forced the liberal magazine’s incoming   
   editor to walk away from the gig because they were offended by   
   things she tweeted as a teenager, but the same employees didn’t   
   seem bothered by sponsored content from the Saudi Arabian   
   government.   
      
   Alexi McCammond's tenure as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue ended   
   before it began on Thursday when she parted ways with the outlet   
   after an internal uproar over decade-old tweets, for which she   
   previously apologized in 2019. Staffers at the Condé Nast   
   publication were furious over the tweets, while critics labeled   
   the debacle the latest example of cancel culture.   
      
   TEEN VOGUE EDITOR BECOMES LATEST CANCEL CULTURE VICTIM AFTER   
   STAFFERS' REVOLT OVER DECADE-OLD TWEETS   
      
   However, earlier this month Teen Vogue published sponsored   
   content from the Saudi Arabian government, promoting it as a fun   
   holiday destination where "citizens and visitors alike can have   
   peace of mind." The piece titled, "Why Saudi Should Land on   
   Every Culture Lover’s Radar," fawned over the nation that   
   doesn’t particularly align with Teen Vogue’s values.   
      
   Under current law, Saudi women require a male guardian’s   
   approval to marry, be released from prison, or obtain certain   
   sexual and reproductive health care. Also, men can still file   
   cases against their daughters, wives, or female relatives for   
   "disobedience," which can lead to their forcible return to their   
   male guardian’s home or imprisonment.   
      
   Women are often told they belong in the home in Saudi Arabia,   
   and they make up just 16 percent of the workforce, according to   
   World Bank.   
      
   TheWrap, a Hollywood trade publication, reported that Teen Vogue   
   chalked the sponsored content up to an "error" and removed it   
   from the liberal website. Teen Vogue featured the pro-Saudi   
   content on its homepage before it was removed, TheWrap reported,   
   citing "an individual with knowledge of the matter."   
      
   Journalist Josh Barro captured Teen Vogue’s homepage before the   
   article was removed.   
      
      
   The story remains up on Teen Vogue’s sister publication, fellow   
   Condé Nast magazine Traveler.   
      
   MEDIA MEMBERS OUTRAGED AFTER CANCEL CULTURE COMES FOR ALEXI   
   MCCAMMOND: 'WHERE THE HELL ARE WE AS AN INDUSTRY'   
      
   The propaganda disguised as an article appeared less than two   
   weeks after U.S. intelligence agencies released a report   
   concluding that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince approved the   
   operation to "capture or kill" Washington Post journalist Jamal   
   Khashoggi in 2018.   
      
   However, there didn’t appear to be any public outcry from the   
   Teen Vogue staffers who forced out McCammond over tweets she   
   sent as a teenager, which included hoping she didn't wake up   
   with "Asian" eyes and using the term "homo."   
      
   It's been a dramatic year for the young journalist, who also saw   
   her relationship with former Biden White House communications   
   staffer T.J. Ducklo go public. McCammond continued to cover   
   President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for Axios, in   
   spite of disclosing her romance with Ducklo to the outlet.   
      
   Daily Caller reporter Shelby Talcott appeared baffled by the   
   selective outrage.

   "Just so I’m clear: Teen Vogue staff had no issue w/ propaganda   
   from Saudi Arabia that appeared in 'error' on the homepage &   
   there was no outcry over McCammond’s relationship w/ an official   
   on the campaign she covered. This is over tweets from HS that   
   she apologized for," Talcott tweeted. "Got it."   
      
   Condé Nast did not immediately respond to a series of questions,   
   including whether staffers objected to the paid content   
   internally and why it is still allowed on Traveler if its sister   
   magazine published it accidentally.
