This is where I am on this case. PC outrage is definitely a problem, and definitely yields some bad results.
This isn't an example of outrage culture. If people were exaggerating or putting words in Cherry's mouth to make him look worse, or were quick to gloss over any opportunity for clarity or apology, it could be.
That's not what happened. Don made remembrance day an us vs the immigrants issue on national tv, and people are rightly criticizing it, and his employers rightfully can't stand behind his viewpoint. He didn't apologize, even further stated that he meant what he said. This is pretty cut and dry -- said a stupid thing that got people justifiably mad, and his employer clearly couldn't side with him.
