I came across the Washingtonian from a Google search, but it still turns out better than the Washington Times and whatever "redstate.com" is.

"Overall, we rate the Washingtonian Left Biased based on story selection and liberal editorial positions that consistently favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record."
Cancel culture is not a real thing. It's a boogeyman more properly described as changing social customs. As the Rolling Stones sang, "What a drag it is getting old."
Craig Calcaterra summed it up in a blog post that's behind a paywall, so I'll quote it here:
"I think people my age [40ish] and older are shaken that the ideas that were valued and accepted when we were young have been questioned and, in many cases, correctly judged as wrongheaded, obsolete, or offensive, and the cancel culture discourse is nothing more than a temper tantrum about that dressed up with big words and faux intellectualism.
Sorry, fellow olds. This dynamic has happened basically forever. If you doubt that, think back to the arguments you had with Boomer or Greatest Generation mentors, and colleagues when you were breaking into whatever field you’re in. Think about how, quite reasonably, their old ways and ideas were not given priority over your new ones. Think about how those who refused to adapt to new ideas and perspectives were left behind or pushed to the side and think about how, actually, it was quite appropriate for that to have taken place.
Just because you found a fancy new word and a phony intellectual construct to describe your stubborn and willful obsolescence doesn’t mean it’s any less justified. You’re getting older. We all are. Find a way to do it gracefully and while keeping an open mind, or don’t, but don’t complain when your failure to do so has extraordinarily reasonable and understandable consequences."
