Jason Aldean has lost the support of Country Music Television (CMT), with the network confirming to Fox News Digital it has pulled the musician's "Try That in a Small Town" music video from circulation.
A representative for the network did not provide more context for the decision, but Aldean has received immense backlash from the public, with some suggesting it is a "pro-lynching song" — a narrative Aldean adamantly denies.
In the video, Aldean's lyrics are sung while news coverage from the 2020 riots illustrates his message. "Cuss out a cop spit in his face / stomp on the flag and light it up," Aldean sings, along with footage of the described instances.
Aldean's tune has skyrocketed to success given all the controversy, sitting as ITunes' No. 1 song at the time of publication.
So, go to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1_RKu-ESCY and simply by clicking that link and playing the song, you've given the video another view. Do you have a youtube account? Then, sign in and give it a thumbs-up. Don't just watch it here. Go to youtube and watch it.
Whether or not you like the song itself is irrelevant. Show your support for law and order and the United States.

Done - I slso bought the song on iTunes - its only $1.29 - not a lot to show your support. And it's quickly becoming the top selling song on iTunes...
Thanks!

That's good timing. I was literally just listening to Matt Walsh talk about this song and the ridiculous controversy. I was about to look for it on YouTube when Para's thread popped up.
Anyway, it's now Liked and Shared.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

You can see commentator Mark Dice's comment on that page and he nails it, regarding all the bullshit about how this song is racist and calls for lynching:
quote:
CMT censored this video, and that's a clear indication that it's great, so I looked it up, and it sure is! Interesting how countless rap songs encourage murder sprees, drug dealing, pimping, and countless other crimes, and they're celebrated by the media, but a video by a country singer about self defense and neighbors looking out for each other is banned.
Yep. "Die, pig, die" and songs about druggin' and thuggin' are alright; rap songs about committing robbery or shooting someone over a battle of egos- these things are celebrated by the media, but if a White American country boy says anything at all, well, he's a white supremacist looking to cause racial strife. Utter horse shit, and it's the status quo. Well, do your bit to stick a thumb in the corporate media's eye.

And Aldean will make even more money, they catapulted the song to the top, and will invariably piss off their fans
CMT is part of Viacom/Paramount, west coast media giant that is heavily invested in social engineering.
Watched & 'liked' Country isn't my genre of choice, but not a bad song.

I looked early this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to see it was still up on YouTube. I gave it a thumbs up.

Watched earlier this morning, thumbs up and left a comment. The article from what I read about it was called "CMT Goes Bud-Light".

It's not a pro-lynching song. CMT is a bunch of woke idiots and have lost touch with their customer.

I watched the entire video via official YouTube to show support. But I’m puzzled by the “Streisand Effect” reference in the thread title.
