Cancel Culture and the Power of Twitter

Jul 17, 2020

John Stonestreet and Shane Morris discuss the remarkable resignation of Bari Weiss from the New York Times and her accusation that “America’s paper of record” is driven by the Twitter mob. They also discuss the open letter protesting cancel culture signed by left-of-center luminaries.

Also on today’s program: the world’s population bust; the need for the U. S. and other nations to accept Christian refugees fleeing deadly persecution.

Plus: A segment of Shane Morris’s interview with Dr. Glenn Sunshine on our cultural moment and your questions about pastors, marriage, and poverty answered.
