Conservative talk radio – most notably Rush Limbaugh – was ripping into Sony Pictures on Thursday for “hypocrisy” and “cowardice” over its decision to cancel the release of The Interview, a response to terrorist threats and a devastating computer hack allegedly perpetrated by operatives working on behalf of North Korea. The nation’s No. 1 host on talk radio compared Hollywood’s reaction to Sony with its reaction to President Barack Obama’s push to normalize relations with Cuba. Limbaugh said, “The hypocrisy is, at the very moment that they are ripping Sony and at the very moment they are ripping into the North Koreans and these hackers, they turn around and applaud and praise the appeasement of another set of dictators in Cuba.”
