Why are a lot of TV shows and books being pulled/put out of print all of a sudden? I know what the issue is with these things but why is it happening all of a sudden and so much and so fast?

I actually don't think it is all of the sudden; it is only in the news because it has become a political talking point.

In literature, there is a long history of pieces being banned, pulled from shelves, discontinued from publication . . . for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is simply financial or for lack of interest or relevance. Sometimes the author or family of the estate of the author pulls a book. Sometimes, yes, there is a controversy about the book's content and the publisher makes a decision to discontinue its own connection to the book; that doesn't mean, necessarily, that the copyright might not eventually get sold to another publisher, but that is often how very "out-of-date" books sort of disappear from marketing.

Here is one article about this from the ALA about book challenges. Additionally, publishers routinely pull books from publication for a variety of reasons: Banned & Challenged Classics | Advocacy, Legislation & Issues
