He definitely should, but he's for sure not gonna now.

There's not a punishment between doing nothing and firing a three decade long associate of your site?

This isn’t the first issue they’ve had with Bruce.

I'm not aware of other issues, but the tone of the Torch's tweet just sound like despite 30 years of helping us build this brand, we have to let you go over the outrage you caused with this piece and man, we're taking on water here.

He probably shouldn't have written what he wrote. He never even let the editor see it. He just flat out printed it without letting anyone else know.

I personally don't feel this is the hill to die on, Smark.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Honestly anyone that makes speculations about a man’s death, call his wife a liar, and then refuse to apologize about it earns their walking papers

Like I said, I don't agree with what he wrote, but there has to be a punishment between doing nothing and firing a three decade employee. I'm not gonna put stock into Wade not seeing it before it went up because that sounds like him trying to save his own ass.

I'll always die on cancel culture because it's the literal worst shit.

This is definitely not the first time he's done something to draw public ire. I don't remember the previous issues but his name has come up a couple times in recent years for doing stupid shit. And now on top of that he's doing shit that violates his employer's protocol. Plenty people would be fired for less.

What would a suspension or unpaid vacation serve to do? The outrage would still be there. This isn't a case of cancel culture. This is a case of a man making accusations akin to libel and getting fired for refusing to walk back on them.

That's the point, I'm not worried about the outrage and I wish more people took this stance. Doing things to please Twitter mobs isn't the way.

 

[Smart Marx]

And yes, terminating someone to subdue the outrage is the definition of cancel culture.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Just because there is Twitter ire doesn’t mean it wasn’t a warranted dismissal.

Again, the man has had previous problems with his employers, and he slandered someone who's loved one had just died no less than 24 hours previous. He deserved to be fired.
