I think both are true.

How exactly did he betray cherry if he didn’t speak up against him?
I also think it’s tough to criticize Ron for not saying anything in the heat of the moment. The CBC protected cherry numerous times when he said offensive things. And in the moment I think it’s a lot to expect Ron to sidetrack a segment by getting into that kind of discussion. Otherwise things could’ve gotten a lot worse. It makes more sense to condemn the comments later when he’s had time to digest and analyze.
