Craig Carton, host of "The Craig Carton Show" on OutKick, commented on the differing reactions to Sydney Sweeney’s nearly nude ad for Novig and Lindsay Clancy’s trial for killing her three children. Carton categorized those who criticized Sweeney as “crazy” while praising Clancy as having conflicting moral stances compared to others he deemed rational. He argued that reasonable people find Sweeney's ad acceptable while believing Clancy should be in prison, whereas the opposite is true for what he terms the "crazy" group.

Story summary
OutKick host Craig Carton discussed the disparity in reactions towards Sydney Sweeney and Lindsay Clancy on his show, criticizing what he called "crazy people." Carton noted how some were upset by an ad for Novig, featuring Sweeney nearly nude discussing sports betting options, while others supported Clancy during her trial for the killings of her three children. He divided people into two groups: those he deemed "crazy," who criticized Sweeney's advertisement and considered Clancy a hero, and those who thought positively about both Sweeney’s ad and Clancy’s actions. Carton argued that criticizing Sweeney's ad was unjustified, stating it amounted to being “ugly” rather than a genuine concern for women’s rights or progress.
