A financial expert is issuing a significant warning signal to the country channel, cautioning them that if they persist in banning the hit song from their lineup, they are bound to suffer the same financial fate as other companies that actively snub conservatives.
From BizPacReview:
Country Music Television (CMT) failed to read the room big-time concerning its core demographic and pulled the viral video because the left was screaming that it was “racist” and “pro-lynching,” which is patently ridiculous to anyone who has watched the video. All the montage clips were actually on the news and no part of the song references race or incites violence.
Instead, it highlights how small communities stick together and leftist chaos won’t be tolerated. What has them triggered is a reminder of the “Summer of Love” in 2020 that set American cities on fire and spread violence across the nation. It makes them look bad.
CMT failed to learn from the Bud Light boycott and now may find themselves on the receiving end of one. One financial expert is pointing out that they may have really stepped in it this time given the current atmosphere in America.
“What we’re seeing as a trend in America is that people are exercising their free speech on businesses one way or the other,” entrepreneur Ted Jenkin told Fox News Digital in an interview that issued a wakeup call to CMT.
“When businesses decide to take these actions, they also need to be responsible for the consequences,” Jenkin admonished. “We saw it with Bud Light and other brands, and this could happen to CMT.”
Jenkin is the CEO of oXYGen Financial. He is a business consultant who also hosts the “Shrimp Tank” podcast. The business expert is making the case that “woke” politics aren’t good for businesses and could, in fact, be catastrophic for their bottom line.
“I don’t know whether businesses should be involved in politics, and that’s the real decision they have to make,” Jenkin commented. “Do we want to take a political stand or not? Or are we in the business of selling a product or delivering a service?”
Honestly, if you're going to call yourself the "Country Music Channel," shouldn't you simply show all country music? Especially the number one country song at the moment?
CMT needs to have a real "come to Jesus" moment and decide if they want to continue down the path they're on, which could cost them thousands if not millions of dollars, or just simply live up to their name and broadcast the video.
It'll be interesting to see which one they choose...
