John Kraskinski slammed as 'sellout' over 'Some Good News' deal with CBS

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-kraskinski-slammed-selling-some-good-new\

Quote

It's bad news for "Some Good News" host John Krasinski.

As the coronavirus outbreak worsened around the world back in March, Krasinski, 40, launched the online show "Some Good News," which was dedicated entirely to sharing positive news stories.

The show drew a large audience quickly, its first episode earning 17 million views on YouTube while the show's Instagram page had nearly a million followers.

This past Thursday, it was announced that ViacomCBS had picked up "Some Good News" to air on CBS All Access as well as some of the company's other brands. It also was announced that Krasinski would not return as the host.

Following Viacom's success in what The Hollywood Reporter called a "massive bidding war," fans expressed disappointment with the "Quiet Place" star, calling him a "sellout" profiting off his feel-good program that had been free online.

"This makes me feel like you’re a sellout. was this a money move? i really don’t understand," one Twitter user wrote. "Your show could have just inspired them to share good news, not take what you started. it was easier to access SGN, not this network."

"John Krasinski played us like a damn [fiddle] made a network and used his fame to sellout and make money during these hard times," another wrote.

 

A third added: "remember when he created this free feel good YouTube show to 'make people feel good' and now he is................selling it for $$$? really cool, 100% honorable."

"Kind of a sell out move. This should have just been a free fun thing," an Instagram follower wrote. "You tainted the good news name. Just another corporate conglomerate with floors of lawyers to control what is put forth. Sad."

Other fans were unhappy that the show would end up CBS All Access, slamming the platform in the comments of a recent Instagram post following the announcement.

"I love SGN BUT I’m hoping we’ll still be able to watch somewhere other than CBS All Access. Speaking from experience, it’s a HORRIBLE platform," a follower wrote. "Its a pay service, with commercials, and skips/ pixelates like crazy."

While Krasinski will no longer host the show, he will maintain some kind of on-screen presence and will serve as the show's executive producer, according to the announcement.

Reps for Krasinski did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

You create something, then you can sell it if you wish.

It's called capitalism, the American Way.

'Bring the president down here': Indiana meat plant workers angered by planned Trump order

Good idea from Mr. Harris to have Mr. Trump work on the Tyson production line.  He should bring Mr. Pence along for good measure.

 

Based on recently updated Indiana Department of Health coronavirus data, the mortality rate of positive coronavirus diagnosis in Cass county is approximately 0.0038%.  Similar to the annual influenza virus.

He could return to Carrier while he's here. Let's see what they think of him now since the jobs he "saved" left anyway.

you won't see him much on MSNBC......at least for anything positive.....

 

I haven't watched anything on MSNBC in at least 10 years. "heartfelt" message. Doesn't that require a heart first? Pence is a robot.

I thought he might have the 'rona and they were hiding him away. It's in the White House.

Based on Liberal mainstream media fake news, Trump should have died of a heart attack by now since he has been taking hydroxychloroquine every day for the past few weeks.😂

You'll never convince me or anyone else you were showing concern for Pence

I never said I was showing concern. Reading comprehension-it's important.  Again, your words, not mine Sonnyboy. Another fail. Why do you even try?

It was sarcasm.  Geesh, look in a mirror Gramps.

We know your intent for asking about Pence....you were hoping he had CV.  We get it man.  Sorry you were disappointed.

Go get your Raisinets and suck the chocolate off them or whatever you do on your front porch.  Give the iPad back to the grandkids....

Most old people see being a grandparent as being a badge of honor. It means they raised their kids well.

That explains it perfectly. It also helps if your kids aren't ugly.

Large crowds gather across America, even in San Francisco with little social distancing and very few masks.

 

CBS deleted this video in under 24 hours. Perhaps the thumbnail showing people gathered together at a park in San Francisco with no social distancing and only one person wearing a mask does not fit their coronavirus narrative.
