Actor Seth Rogen, who has been quite vocal over the years with his support of the LGBTQ community, let it be known that he won't be working with SIRIUSXM for a while as long as they support Breitbart's Steve Bannon.
Seth tweeted about how he was supposed to do an upcoming press tour with SIRIUSXM, but bailed after he found out they gave Steve his own show. He rejoined Breitbart News Daily on December 5th, per an official press release that went out the same day.
Seth had this to say about their decision:
A spokesperson for SIRIUSXM made an official statement to The Hollywood Reporter, saying "Since its inception, SiriusXM has promised to deliver a diversity of opinions and viewpoints, from conservative to progressive to everything in between. SiriusXM takes no political position of our own across our more than 175 channels, but we are here to provide an open forum no matter where listeners stand on the political spectrum. Free speech is vitally important. We ardently believe that by allowing a virtually unlimited platform of viewpoints, we are doing our best to uphold that core value.”
Do you agree with Seth pulling out of his appearances?
Good for Mr Rogen, you don’t
Good for Mr Rogen, you don't need to be a publicity who're and visit every one who will put you and your project on the air. Me, I dumped SiriusXM when they killed OutQ.
Oh Seth Rogen, do you even
Oh Seth Rogen, do you even know why you hate Steve Bannon, or just the usual "he's a bad guy." Got any specifics that aren't of Steve mad, kidding, or taken out of context? Any real hate from Bannon? Of course not! The crowd doesnt know why they hate anyone, its just the trend. No evidence of wrong doing… …nothing
