Oh, that&#8217;s right, we got you canceled after getting more than 300 advertisers to rebuke you. Hopefully, that&#8217;s just the start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Be careful what you wish for.

But don&#8217;t let me interrupt your delusions of grandeur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Oh wait, in a year from now you&#8217;ll pray for me to be a part of the mainstream media. You&#8217;ll pray.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe only praying most people will be doing for you is for a cure for the brain disease that has turned you into a conspiracy monger with a Messiah complex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Bring it on.
