As Twitchy readers know, Podcast Movement held a conference and The Daily Wire paid for a booth at said conference. Welp, Ben DARED show up at his own booth and a bunch of thin-skinned babies threw a temper tantrum claiming they didn’t FEEL SAFE NOW so they wrote this huge thread apologizing for Ben being there.
Basically attacking a guy who spent a lot of money with them at their conference for simply BEING AT said conference.
Gosh, it looks like they’ve sort of thought things through a bit more and decided it was effed up to do that to Ben, and are apologizing.
As we stated, we’re continuing to evaluate our policies guiding social media & events with inclusivity, diversity & respect for all. We have to start by sincerely apologizing to Mr. Shapiro for our reaction when he visited a booth we sold his company. That wasn’t right. https://t.co/McxG9Ay0LT

It WASN’T right.
And yet, they still did it.
Podcast Movement began in 2014, with four podcasters who had an idea to create a vibrant community that was for podcasters, by podcasters. We’re still those people with the same idea, and recognize there’s work to do as we grow.

Uh-huh.
We are now looking to move forward, as we focus on that original mission from 2014 – being a hub for podcasting events, resources, news, and thought leadership.

Think Ben should accept their apology?
That you are still trying to worn your way past this is just as bad.. it’s a simple solution.
Let folks say what they say, feelz be damned. No one is forcing anyone else to listen.
It’s time the world grew up and got on with itself.
