Forbes Magazine has been criticized for an op-ed warning companies against hiring any ex-Trump administration members. Independent Women's Forum analyst Kelsey Bolar slammed the article published on January 7, calling it 'dangerous cancel culture', 'that is not going to unite the nation.'
In the wake of last week's Capitol riots, Forbes Magazine's editor Randall Lane wrote: 'As American democracy rebounds, we need to return to a standard of truth when it comes to how the government communicates with the governed.(Snip) 'Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump's fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything

Shocked and appalled are cliches at this point but I am shocked and appalled. Where the hell is Steve Forbes....if he isn't active at the magazine, his name is still attached and he should be issuing some sort of statement. I thought better of him!

#1 speaks for me.
Where is Steve Forbes? I always thought he spoke well, and he certainly appeared (when he was on Maria’s morning show) to support PDJT.
Now there are crickets.
Steve, you have some ‘splainin’ to do.

What has happened to Steve Forbes? He’s another one I trusted. I am now down to my wife, my son and my dog.

Steve Forbes no longer is involved with the magazine. It was sold years ago to a firm located in Hong Kong. I would not be surprised if it is controlled by the Chinese Communists

Forbes literally "sold out" to the Chinese a number of years ago. A Hong Kong, China company owns Forbes magazine and subsidiaries.

Typical Daily Mail article. What they don’t know they make up

Maybe Steve Forbes reached room temperature. Maybe he is waiting for Ken to give him the frequency. Oh I know; the Iceman has finally arrived!

The book ''1984'' is a ''best seller'' right now on Amazon. I hope parents are buying it for their children to read. The public (government) schools certainly won't have the kids read it!
Better get it quick, before the thought police at Amazon take it down!

Steve Forbes was on Fox and Friends this morning. When asked about it, he stammered and stuttered that it was just an editorial and the author's opinion. When pressed that the "editorial" specifically stated the Forbes organization would (not should) "assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie", Forbes had no good answer, just repeated what he had said before. The Fox host, Steve Doocy was flabbergasted.

I saw the interview of Steve Forbes on Fox and Friends this morning and it was disgraceful..He said he and his organization support diversity of thought and opinion, that they wouldn't engage in blacklisting people like many were in Hollywood back in the 1950s because you didn't like their political beliefs. Hello Steve but belonging to and supporting communist organizations that sought the overthrow of the US government (oh wait would that be an insurrection?) is a bit more than holding unpopular beliefs.
As for Doocy, #9 - his obsession with overstaying what happened last Wednesday is a disgrace but not surprising.

Again, my late grandfather said Steve Forbes looked like he was holding in a flatulence crosswise.

Et tu, Forbes?
And our system is so totally, fundamentally corrupted by globalists and traitors that the ONE honest, patriot left in DC as a major leader is being set upon by the howling hyenas of all that we once thought were good American companies. I met Steve Forbes years ago in a small political meeting, about 30 people, and I came away with the idea that he was a good conservative.
I guess I was wrong, or Forbes is no longer controlled by the family members.

I wonder how many more subscribers Forbes can afford to lose. They had very few to begin with.

Watch the idiot Steve Doocey interview Forbes this morning. All he had to ask was “...is this the corporate policy of Forbes?” Instead they focused on diversity of opinions. What a fool. He turned on Trump in November.

Forbes is a globalist like all uber rich...preparing for the Great Reset. One World Government, One World Economy, One World Religion. Straight from Schwab's mouth at the World Economic Forum last year.

I canceled Forbes last year after being a long time subscriber. Why, they used to talk about the regular guy, the average investor and small businesses and tips on investing. Those articles are all gone. Now all you read about are billionaires. Every issue is about the richest people in the world. Something happened to Steve Forbes because there was an obvious change.

is this the same Forbes publication owned by Steve Forbes? or, did I miss something where Xi Xing Ping took over when Steve was on vacation? the anti-christ is alive and among us.

#17, I think he got an offer he couldn't refuse.
Perhaps something like "it would be really a shame if your grandchildren had some sort of a terrible accident, wouldn't it? You had better reject Trump and do all you can in that direction, or you just don't know what might happen."
Carrot and stick. Billions in bribes spread by ChiComs, and a few nice 'don't want an accident' comments sent around to key folks.

Mr. Lane can take a hike and take the Forbes Magazine with him.
