An example of sensationalized confirmation-bias trolling for traffic. The implication of the headline is that ABC cut off Perry because hed gone off the deep end and they decided to stop allowing him a platform to be stupid and hateful and dishonest. In reality, he had a four-minute interview segment (which was stupid and hateful and dishonest, and the anchor challenged his silliness, and fine), but he was cut off only in the sense that it was the end of the segment and the anchor ended the interview. It wasnt some dawning of the light on behalf of ABC, they didnt have some epiphany and go oh my god, we cant ethically be a party to the propagation of this nonsense, get him out of here! They just ended the interview. Probability that ABC cutting off Rick Perry will be used in an internet argument within the next 24 hours by someone opposing Perrys idiocy: 1.
