Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
Fox Business Host Stuart Varney

Fox Business host Stuart Varney confronted Parler CEO George Farmer on Tuesday, asking multiple times whether people should expect anti-Semitism to be tolerated on the social media platform once Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, takes over.

West was previously locked out from his Twitter over an anti-Semitic post. The rapper has continued causing an uproar with further troublesome messages, including the claim that the “Jewish underground media mafia” is out to get him.

“Are you going to go for total free speech and if so, does that include allowing anti-Semitic posts like the one that got Ye locked out of Twitter?” Varney asked.

Farmer sidestepped the anti-Semitism question and instead touted Parler’s free speech nature and guidelines against content like pornography.

Unsatisfied, Varney pushed again on whether anti-Semitism would be policed on the platform.

“We all want free speech, but do we all want anti-Semitism writ large on Parler?” the Parler CEO said.

“I don’t think Ye has given any indication that that’s the case,” Farmer said, adding that West is looking for a place for his “voice.”

Varney pushed again, and Farmer once more refused to give a direct answer, this time offering that West will be the company’s “controller” once his deal goes through.

In addition to pressing Farmer on his deal with West (despite the rapper's repeated anti-Semitic statements), Varney also displayed his unwavering stance on impeachment during a segment with Brian Kilmeade.

Varney panned Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-NY) claim that impeachment is “on the table” for Republicans next year if the party takes control of Congress, calling it a "rotten idea."

MEDIA LOSER:
Late Night Host James Corden

Famed New York City restaurateur Keith McNally banned James Corden from his many restaurants, claiming the late-night host has been abusive to his staff.

In a Monday Instagram post, McNally said Corden has a long history of abusive behavior at his restaurants and cited two separate occasions that earned the comedian — who he referred to as a “tiny cretin of a man” — a full ban.

“James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man,” McNally wrote in an Instagram caption. “And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.”

McNally said he seldom bans patrons from his establishments, but two alleged incidents detailed by managers at his popular Soho haunt Balthazar, earned the Late Late Show host his excommunication.

In June, Corden allegedly showed a strand of hair to a "very apologetic" Balthazar manager, whom McNally referred to as "G" in his post.

"Corden was extremely nasty to G, and said: 'Get us another round of drinks this second. And also take care of all of our drinks so far. This way I write any nasty reviews in yelp or anything like that,'" McNally added.

According to another manager’s report from earlier this month, Corden allegedly lost it when his wife’s “egg yolk omelette with gruyere cheese” contained “a little bit of egg white."

Despite the mishaps, McNally later took to Instagram to reveal he reversed the ban after receiving a groveling apology from Corden.

Ban or no ban, being nasty to restaurant staff as a millionaire media figure will almost certainly land you in Mediaite's loser column.
