Harris Faulkner questions why Jason Aldean’s song is targeted when there are many others.
Harris Faulkner Discusses Backlash Against Jason Aldean’s Music Video
Harris Faulkner, host of The Faulkner Focus, recently addressed the controversy surrounding country music star Jason Aldean’s music video for “Try That In A Small Town.” Faulkner highlighted the double standard when it comes to determining what is considered offensive.
“My whole thing is that, you know, there are a lot of songs out there with lyrics that are extremely offensive — things that rhyme with trigger, all sorts of things,” Faulkner noted.

Faulkner emphasized the importance of allowing the market to decide the fate of such content. She mentioned that CMT, as the platform responsible for the video, should have the freedom to make their own choices.
“Let the market decide. You know, CMT, they can do what they want. I mean, they’ve got the awards. Let them do what they want,” she added.
Aldean’s latest song and music video have sparked a heated debate across the United States. The video portrays scenes of mass violence, carjackings, rioting, arson, theft, physical assaults, and clashes with police in big cities.
Singer Sheryl Crow criticized the song and video for promoting violence, stating, “There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting. This is not American or small town-like. It’s just lame.”
However, Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) has come out in support of Aldean, questioning why there is an attempt to ”cancel this song and cancel Jason.”
During her show, Faulkner raised the question of what liberals ultimately hope to achieve with their opposition to the song and video.
“But when it comes to letting the American public hear the song and see the video, I’m just wondering, where are we going with that?” Faulkner said. “And are we going to take a look at other genres of music to see what’s offensive?”
