Being a political person, you need to watch your words before making any speech or statement. Without thinking or checking, it is not okay to give a public speech because one wrong word or statement can land you in the news. We often hear news in which many celebrities and politicians have become the reason for stormy reactions with their statements. In fact, the account of some figures has also been banned on social media, but it seems that many of them still do not take lessons from it and give a speech without thinking.
Video of David Zaslav’s speech
On Sunday, May 21, 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery Chairman and CEO David Zalsav took the stage at the Boston University commencement ceremony to deliver his commencement address to the students. While he was giving his speech, he was met with protests from some of the students who were certainly not satisfied with his speech. Not only that, but student protesters at Boston University were also chanting “Pay your writers.” A video related to this incident is circulating online. People share this video with each other and comment on it. That is why this video went viral on social media.

Not only is it a college campus, but it is also facing backlash from Internet users. In the 30-second viral clip, a Warner Bros. Discovery executive can be seen struggling to continue his speech at BU as protesters raise his slogans. In the video, he can be heard stating, “If you want to be successful, you’re going to have to learn to get along with everyone, and that includes difficult people.” He failed to finish his speech, and protesters continued to chant “Pay your writers.” Now after watching this viral video, many people are sharing their thoughts and comments about it.
Victor Shi, an activist, speaker and writer, also tweeted about it. The youngest delegate to the US presidency in 2020 affirms that “young people know what is happening and are not afraid to make their voices heard.” People like the students’ reaction and praise them for their loud voices against him. The chant raised in BU, at the time of David’s speech, was in response to the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America. So, understandably, most Twitter users shared their reactions with overwhelmingly positive responses. We only have these details for now, but more details will be released soon.
