Big-Game Hunter Melissa Bachman Cut From National Geographic's 'Ultimate Survivor Alaska' After Environmental Fascists Mount Boycott at Change.org

This is exactly what William Jacobson has been warning against, the ever-increasing progressive campaign to censor and silence conservative activity and opinion, anything that deviates from the accepted narrative of contemporary left-wing fascism. At the New York Times, "National Geographic Takes Hunter Off TV Show":

The National Geographic Channel said on Friday that Melissa Bachman, an animal hunter who writes for a blog called “Hardcore Huntress,” will no longer be a participant in the coming reality series “Ultimate Survivor Alaska,” after an online petition protesting her involvement received more than 13,000 signatures in less than 24 hours. According to the Hollywood Reporter’s Web site the petition posted on Change.org by Tim Martell, a Florida resident, called for a boycott of National Geographic and stated that the cable channel had abandoned its “traditional stance of conservation and protection” by working with Ms. Bachman, who also has her own Web site that contains hunting videos, tips and a photographic trophy room. “The National Geographic Channel has carefully considered the public discussion of our series on surviving the wilds of Alaska currently in production and premiering sometime next year,” the cable channel said in a statement.
Boy, National Geographic caved in seconds flat. That's probably a record. Whoo hoo!

And at Hollywood Reporter, "National Geographic Channel Drops Survivalist Over Animal Rights Complaints."

Folks better wake up, alright.
