    If he doesn't feel its a sincere apology then he shouldn't take the money.

    Pretty sure apologies are meant to be more than that. This is just an acknowledgement that he felt wronged but not an actual apology.

    Once again, if he didn't accept the apology he shouldn't accept the money.

    Did you even read what she said? Or are you just bullshitting?

    That's a rhetorical question, you obviously didn't, and you obviously are.

    Bee said she was sorry for offending him. Not that she was sorry he felt offended.

    The official statement from Full Frontal:

    "We deeply apologize for offending @_that_kyle in our CPAC segment. We only learned of his condition today & have removed him from the piece."

    The reason he isn't letting go of this is because he's being petty, simple as that.

    On top of the twitter apology the show also sent this out:

    Jo Miller, a “Full Frontal” executive producer, said in an email on Thursday: “We’ve apologized to Mr. Coddington and his family members and we are donating to the GoFundMe account for his treatment. We wish him all the best in his fight against cancer and sincerely, deeply regret offending him and his family.”

    If he still holds a grudge after that, he's just milking it for attention and sympathy.

    His 15 minutes of fame are going to go a long way to pay for his cancer treatment.

    Or, in the case that he has insurance (who doesn't?), a nice bit of money towards his bank account.

    Perhaps he should sue her and her writers and producer and network for defamation of character. She didn't apologize for what she said about him, she apologized for his reaction to what she said about him. She said this on national television so defamed him in front of anyone who actually watches her show. Yes, they removed him from the bit for streaming purposes, but did so AFTER the fact.
    when all else fails, read the STICKIES.

    He can try but "They made fun of my haircut on a comedy show" isn't the strongest position to build a defamation case on.

    Nice haircut, why would anyone call it Nazi is beyond me...

    Any media organisation or any entity that makes a mistake should make the apology in as big a style as they made the mistake.

    You made a 5 minute skit with a mistake, then you make a 5 minute skit apology.

    You put a big headline on the front page of your paper with a mistake, then the apology needs to be on the same scale and same distribution.

    An apology is USELESS if only 1% of the viewers see it.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    They called him a nazi on tv. With the liberal courts, he would win a defamation case.

    No, they said he had a nazi haircut on tv...and they never named him.

    McCarthyism was a witch hunt for Communists.

    This is like McCarthyism in that it is a witch hunt for Nazi/Fascists. Except in this circumstance it wasn't even about character or action of the individual, it was about a freaking haircut.
    it's barely comparable. you're comparing the Hollywood blacklist to Samantha Bee being an idiot.

    Because if I put up a picture of Nancy Pelosi and said this person looked like a satanist, that wouldn't be calling her a satanist, right?

    I don't see how its any different than Alex Jones calling Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton literal demons.

    The vast majority, do not label someone a nazi, just because they disagree with them.
