The bigger issue, to me, is that we have companies that will work to hide this sort of thing from the public and are complicit through their actions, or inaction, regarding these sorts of things. It took a campaign of making advertisers aware and putting pressure on them to pull out to get him to face consequences for his actions. I have zero doubt this goes on at many places like Fox News, including CNN, MSNBC, and all of the rest. This one just became publicly known in a big way, but this culture exists in many places and people continue to get away with their actions.
