Then Disney is getting some backlash on their Disney + disclaimers over older movies...some think the disclaimers about racially sensitive content that is not appropriate for 2019 but was when the movie was made, is not enough and the movies should be edited or removed all together! Do you agree or disagree? Lightning and VB takes opposing views on this one. We discuss it all including today's "Stories We Love" here!

Disney + was just released this week and Disney has included some of it's vault classics as options to watch. Some patrons are not happy that Disney just put up disclaimers that some movies may contain racist or culturally sensitive material that was the norm when it was made, but not acceptable in 2019. These complainers want Disney to edit the originals or take them down completely. VB and Lightning debate over how Disney handled their old classics. VB thinks Disney should offer edited versions but not get rid of the originals and Lightning thinks the disclaimers are enough. Take a listen to VB get scolded by the callers and Lightning!

Today's Topics: Northwestern University students are upset over their school newspaper's coverage of a visit former AG Jeff Sessions made on the campus. The paper coverage both the students protest of the event as well as the event itself. They posted a photo of the protest in their paper and students are claiming it triggers traumatic events of that day...what is happening to journalism where simply covering an event of what happened is wrong by these people? Canadian NHL commentator Don Cherry is fired over comments he made during his post game show where he addressed the poppies program and how "you people" who come to this country don't buy them. His usage of the words "you people" was deemed inappropriate and offensive by some & he refused to apologize so he was fired. Is that really a fire-able offense? Then former Massachusetts Deval Patrick might be going the race for the White House. We discuss it all including today's "Stories We Love"!
