Cannon was fired by ViacomCBS for crazy anti-white, anti-semitic comments. Though he was not fired by Masked Singer.</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adam Ford seems to have started the controversy with this tweet:</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/Adam4d/status/1283087941271801861"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> https://twitter.com/Adam4d/status/1283087941271801861</span></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Story 3</strong></p> <p><a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/10-tips-for-staying-safe-at-church-during-the-pandemic"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">10 Safety Tips For Going Back To Church</span></a></p> <p><strong>Topic of the Week</strong></p> <p><a href="https://babylonbee.com/news/10-times-the-babylon-bee-was-eerily-accurate-in-predicting-the-future"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Fulfilled Babylon Bee Prophecies</span></a></p> <p><strong>Hate Mail</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDs-bk1pgjI"><span style="font-weight: 400;">serenaded</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by someone who doesn't like what we do.
