|    Teen Vogue staffers outraged by old nigg    |

      XPost: alt.politics.equality, alt.politics.nationalism.white, ga.general       XPost: neworleans.general       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              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.              CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP              "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.              Fox News’ David Rutz contributed to this report.              https://www.foxnews.com/media/teen-vogue-staffers-outraged-by-       old-tweets-silent-on-sponsored-content-from-saudi-arabian-       government                      --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
