Waleed Aly releases annoying centrist take on why The Project being cancelled is both good and bad

Soon to be ex-host of The Project, Waleed Aly has used the final week of the show to release one of his trademark ‘unique perspective’ takes on why the show’s cancellation is somehow both good and bad.

The take, which took him 10,000 words to explain, left audiences stunned mainly as they tried to figure out what point he was trying to make.

“A lot of people, including some in this office are not looking at this issue for what it really is,” he said, “they aren’t critical thinkers like me so they aren’t bringing the level of nuance that only I can provide.”

“As always people are being far too reductive in this current political climate when discussing this issue and going to extremes by being either happy or sad about this news.”

“The show has a long history and that must be taken into consideration. Although it also shouldn’t be because does good points made 10 years ago undo the damage caused by recent guests.”

“Many regular workers are losing their jobs which is sad, but also offers them an opportunity to find new work. Meanwhile many of the hosts are rich and can afford this break, but also rich people have mouths to feed too.”

“More importantly when I asked a random person on the street whether he saw the cancellation of The Project, he said he hadn’t seen anything about it. Is the show really cancelled if that random person didn’t see the announcement? Why are we jumping to care about the emotions of those who haven’t proven whether their show was even cancelled in the first place…”

Waleed continued to ramble on for 15 minutes making references to the importance of using a platform to create change but also that platforms should not be used for pushing change on their audience, and that he is going to miss his friends but his friends wont miss his host speeches.
