Viacom President on Trevor Noah’s Twitter Scandal: ‘We’re
Not in the Business of Censoring People’
by Kipp Jones 10 Jun 2015Los Angeles, CA
Despite a number of allegedly homophobic, fat,
anti-Semitic, and racist jokes posted on comedian Trevor Noah’s Twitter account over the years, Viacom head Doug Herzof said Monday the Daily
Show heir was never without the company’s support.
Herzog addressed the controversy and
referred to Twitter as “a very particular dark place” while speaking with CNN’s
Bill Weir at PromaxBDA’s annual convention for entertainment marketing
professionals, according to Deadline.
“I think they’ll be teaching that someday, in the college
courses they’ll teach on Twitter,” Herzog said.
While on vacation, the executive described learning of the
controversy back in March, after facing a major backlash over Noah’s selection
as host: “I was sitting there alone, not in the office. … I’m just sitting back
and watching my Twitter explode. It was unpleasant. But that’s a very
particular dark place.”
Deadline reports Herzog then admitted the company
failed to properly vet Noah’s Twitter history, but said it would not have
changed anything, as Comedy Central had
already been eying the 31-year-old South African as a suitable replacement for
Jon Stewart.
The Viacom president defended Noah’s jokes Monday, and
argued that some were out of context, and some “just weren’t funny enough,” but
insisted that he would not have done anything differently, per Deadline.
“It was overwhelming.” Herzog then said of Noah’s selection
as host. “I should have been more prepared for how people might react.” He also
insisted, “there was never ever any moment where we weren’t behind this guy.”

Google Now Censoring In China
By Danny Sullivan Jan 25, 2006
Oh,
the irony. Less than a week after we hear that Google is ready to fight the US
government in part to defend its users, now comes news that Google will cave
into the Chinese government's demands for its new Google China web site.
However, the issues aren't directly comparable. Moreover, while I'm no fan of Chinese
censorship, I like some of the way Google is
reacting to the demands. Come along, and we'll explore the entire censorship
situation in China, the US and some other places you rarely hear discussed,
like France and Germany.
