The New York Times recently spat out <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/arts/television/jimmy-fallon.html">3,500 words excoriating Jimmy Fallon</a>, a feature triggered by the comic’s 20-year-old blackface sketch. The same article dismissed fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s serial blackface routines with a sentence fragment. That’s no accident.
It’s part of a coordinated campaign on multiple fronts, but one that can be seen as two distinct efforts.
<ul>
<li>Bully less partisan voices like Fallon into towing the hard-Left line.</li>
<li>Let problematic stars slide if they’re able to serve the progressive cause.</li>
</ul>
The Fallon article is a doozy, a lengthy tome epitomizing this trend to a “T.”
The headline speaks volumes: “Jimmy Fallon Is Sorry, But What Does That Mean?” The subhead is even more ominous.
<blockquote>The “Tonight Show” host was forced to publicly reckon with a blackface clip from his past and his own role in systemic racism. But will it lead to a true change, or was it just lip service?</blockquote>
Cancel Culture isn’t interested in forgiveness or evolution. They want to make you say what they want you to say.
Fallon fully participated in the article, one where he frequently worries about atoning for his past sin beyond his cringe-worthy apology.
The same sin, mind you, that Kimmel did multiple times without a single mea culpa up until this week. Kimmel donned blackface to portray both Karl Malone and Oprah Winfrey on his Comedy Central series “The Man Show.” He demeaned women on said show for laughs, too, something the woke crowd now deems unacceptable.
It took pressure from conservative groups, and a growing sense of hypocrisy, for Kimmel to finally apologize for “some” of his past actions this week. And he did so while swiping at his critics, even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kimmel-apologizes-then-attacks-racist-critics-james-woods-fires-back-just-own-it-you-unabashed-racist">calling them racist</a> along the way.
<div id="attachment_123241" style="width: 941px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-123241" class="size-large wp-image-123241" src="https://editorial.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Jimmy-Kimmel-1-931x576.jpg" alt="Jimmy Kimmel" width="931" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/06/Jimmy-Kimmel-1-931x576.jpg 931w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/06/Jimmy-Kimmel-1-300x186.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/06/Jimmy-Kimmel-1-768x475.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/06/Jimmy-Kimmel-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px" />Eric McCandless/ABC via Getty Images</div>
Stunning. Still, that should be enough to keep any professional cancellations at bay. Last we checked Kimmel is still set to host September’s Emmy Awards ceremony. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oscars-still-panic-mode-ousted-host-kevin-hart-james-barrett">Kevin Hart couldn’t be reached for comment</a>.
We certainly won’t see The New York Times hold Kimmel’s feet to the cultural fire like it did for Fallon.
How does Kimmel get a pass? That’s rhetorical. Orange Man Bad … at least until November.
The New York Times’ Fallon feature, of course, reminds us how apolitical the “Saturday Night Live” alum is in the Age of Trump. Sure, he’ll tell a few Trump jokes now and then, but his focus is on sillier, apolitical chatter.
That’s unacceptable to The New York Times, the media and the Left.
It’s similar to how the <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/why-taylor-swifts-political-awakening-rings-false/">media bullied Taylor Swift</a> until she finally joined The Resistance. Now, she’s a reliable mouth piece for progressive policies. They even made a Netflix documentary about it, dubbed “Miss Americana.”
They want Fallon to follow her lead. And he seems either game or too scared to say no.
The New York Times article brings up what got Fallon in “trouble” in the first place. He tousled then-candidate Donald Trump’s hair prior to the 2016 presidential election on “The Tonight Show,” humanizing him in the process.
Unforgivable. The press has hounded Fallon about it for some time, <a href="https://news.avclub.com/jimmy-fallon-says-he-regrets-tousling-trumps-hair-on-th-1827000278">forcing an apology</a> out of him eventually.
Now, he’s ready to do their bidding. But will it even be good enough? The New York Times isn’t convinced he’s been effectively reprogrammed:
<blockquote>…he wanted to make a “Tonight Show” that amplified the calls for change rising up from these demonstrations. But even before he apologized for his role in the blackface segment, it was unclear if he was the ideal person for this job….
Fallon, by his own admission, is an entertainer who thrives on fun and frivolity. He is also vulnerable to a zeitgeist that can quickly turn against his down-the-middle program — he is still criticized for tousling the hair of then-candidate Donald J. Trump in 2016 — and favor fellow hosts who are more comfortable staking out bolder positions.</blockquote>
“Bolder” means “more progressive,” of course. And an entertainer striving to be  “down the middle,” thereby appealing to both red and blue states, is now a thoughtcrime.
We’re then reminded that Fallon has problematic skin color (hint: it’s the same as Kimmel’s, but his apparently isn’t nearly as problematic).
<blockquote>The recent efforts of “The Tonight Show” and other late-night programs to address these subjects have once again called attention to how predominantly white and male this genre remains.</blockquote>
That ignores Samantha Bee, Hasan Minhaj, Trevor Noah, Desus &amp; Mero, all of whom currently work in late-night style formats. Michelle Wolf and Chelsea Handler also recently had late-night shows to call their own, as did black comic actor Larry Wilmore.
Fallon could have allowed any media outlet to follow his woke enlightenment. He chose The New York Times profile, one that reads like a long, not so subtle threat.
<blockquote>Fallon’s public reckoning drew some praise as a step in the right direction, but it is only a first step. In a turbulent period when numerous institutions are grappling with systemic racism and how their own failures and inaction have contributed to it, performers and viewers alike are looking to see if “The Tonight Show” — and late-night TV more broadly — is ready to make good on its promises, or is simply paying lip service to a cause.</blockquote>
Howard Stern is already at the former step.
The radio legend donned blackface repeatedly over the years and frequently used the “N-word.” That’s the tip of the problematic iceberg for the self-described “King of All Media.”
Last week Stern responded to a Page Six report acknowledging his problematic bits had resurfaced in recent days.
He hemmed. He hawed. <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/howard-stern-blackface-trump-bullying/">He played the victim card.</a>
What didn’t he do? Apologize. Yet the Cancel Culture mob stood down even though apologies are at the top of its customary “demands” list.
Why?
Stern’s been apolitical for most of his career, leaning left here and right there. More recently he became a vocal Trump opponent, completing his slow but steady drift to the Left.
He’s now too useful for the Left to toss aside. Stern, like Kimmel, inoculated himself against Cancel Culture by singing from the progressive hymnal.
Fallon didn’t, and he’s paying the price for it. His punishment may not be over yet.

On Tuesday, actor James Woods took note of the apology that late night host Jimmy Kimmel offered for past actions that have been deemed racist, an apology that Kimmel twisted into an attack on his critics. Kimmel commenced his apology by writing, “I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us,” later continuing, “I know that this will not be the last I hear of this and that it will be used again to try to quiet me. I love this country too much to allow that. I won’t be bullied into silence by those who feign outrage to advance their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas.”
Woods, as usual taking no prisoners, fired back on Twitter by quoting Kimmel, then launching a verbal torpedo directly at Kimmel: “I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness.” // So another leftist essentially uses his ‘apology’ as an attack on others. Just own it, you unabashed racist.”

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain and to those I’ve disappointed, I am sorry.

Kimmel Apologizes, Then Attacks ‘Racist’ Critics. James Woods Fires Back: ‘Just Own It, You Unabashed Racist’

James Woods

On Tuesday, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel broke his silence concerning his past donning of blackface in old “Man Show” sketches, though he did not explicitly address reports of his alleged use of the N-word on a past Christmas album.
In a statement released Tuesday, the embattled &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; host took shots at folks on the right, whom he identified as  &#8220;those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us,&#8221; while offering his apologizes to those &#8220;offended&#8221; by his actions.
&#8220;I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us,&#8221; the statement started, &#8220;That delay was a mistake. There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke.&#8221;
&#8220;On KROQ radio in the mid-90s, I did a recurring impression of the NBA player Karl Malone. In the late 90s, I continued impersonating Malone on TV.

&#8220;Looking back, many of these sketches are embarrassing,&#8221; he continued, &#8220;and it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments have become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices.&#8221;
The host noted that he has &#8220;evolved and matured&#8221; since his past infractions, a commentary that runs counter to the Left&#8217;s so-called &#8220;cancel culture&#8221; rules that suggest no such change is possible.
&#8220;I know that this will not be the last I hear of this and that it will be used again to try to quiet me,&#8221; Kimmel said. &#8220;I love this country too much to allow that. I won’t be bullied into silence by those who feign outrage to advance their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas.&#8221;
Just one day earlier, Kimmel, who consistently preaches left-wing politics and smears the president as racist, was pummeled in the press over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-audio-emerges-of-jimmy-kimmel-allegedly-using-n-word-report-says">reports</a> that he used the N-word multiple times in a song for a Christmas album recorded in 1996, though, ironically, as noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-audio-emerges-of-jimmy-kimmel-allegedly-using-n-word-report-says">The Daily Wire</a>, “Kimmel previously pressed actor Tom Arnold to release an alleged ‘N-word’ tape of President Donald Trump, which has not materialized.”
The host recently announced that he’ll be taking the summer off, an announcement that came on the heels of the resurfaced &#8220;Man Show&#8221; blackface sketches.
“I’m taking this summer off to spend even more time with my family,” Kimmel said last week. “There’s nothing wrong. I’m healthy, my family’s healthy, I just need a couple of months off.”

Jimmy Kimmel Breaks Silence Over Past Blackface In Statement Taking Swing At Critics, The ‘Genuinely Racist’

Racism

Donald Trump Jr. called out ABC on Tuesday morning for the different way that it has responded to Jimmy Kimmel&#8217;s &#8220;N-word&#8221; scandal vs. how it responded to a controversial tweet from Roseanne Barr when Barr had a show with the network.
Fox News Editor Gregg Re exclusively <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-n-word-snoop-dogg-imitation-george-wallace-comic-podcast">reported</a> on Monday about a Christmas album that Kimmel recorded in 1996 which featured a song where Kimmel impersonated rapper Snoop Dogg and repeatedly used the &#8220;N-word&#8221; throughout the track. Kimmel is also facing renewed pressure over his past blackface skits. ABC did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.
Kimmel announced last week that he was taking a leave of absence from the show so he could &#8220;spend even more time with my family.&#8221;
Trump Jr. called out the network for how it has handled the situation vs. how executives handled the situation with Barr in 2018. ABC needs to either cancel Kimmel&#8217;s show or give Barr her show back, Trump said.
&#8220;I don’t think [Jimmy Kimmel] should be fired for inappropriate jokes, but please remind me, how long did it take for [ABC Network]/[Disney] to cancel [Roseanne Barr]?&#8221; Trump Jr. tweeted.
&#8220;I&#8217;m simply anti-double standards for conservatives [and] libs, so either cancel Kimmel or give Roseanne her show back,&#8221; he added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In May 2018, Barr, who had returned to the network earlier in the year after being gone since the 1990s, had her show &#8220;Roseanne&#8221; canceled within hours of her tweeting something that was controversial.
In reference to former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, who is black, Barr wrote that if the “muslim brotherhood &amp; planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”
ABC and Disney executives <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/roseanne-cancellation-racist-tweet-sparks-mixed-reactions/story?id=55511602">instantly</a> took action against Barr, who is a Trump supporter, by canceling her show.
ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey responded by saying, &#8220;Roseanne&#8217;s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.&#8221;
Disney CEO Bob Iger said, &#8220;There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.&#8221;
Disney is the parent company of ABC Entertainment and ABC News.
Trump Jr. called out ABC yesterday after the Fox News report was published, writing on Twitter: &#8220;To be clear, I’m 100% against punishing comedians for jokes, even bad jokes from unfunny hack comedians like Jimmy Kimmel…but according to the left’s own woke rules that [Jimmy Kimmel] wants to force others to live by, it’s hard to see how [ABC Network] allows him to keep his show.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
What made Kimmel&#8217;s past remarks especially newsworthy was the fact that Kimmel pressed actor Tom Arnold in 2018 to release an &#8220;N-word&#8221; tape on President Donald Trump, which never materialized since there was apparently nothing there.
&#8220;I want to hear this tape! Where is this tape?&#8221; Kimmel asked Arnold. &#8220;You keep saying you will! When? When he&#8217;s retired?&#8221;

Trump Jr. Blasts ABC ‘Double Standard’ In Response To Jimmy Kimmel Vs. Rosanne Barr

Donald Trump Jr.

Race

Roseanne Barr

An uncomfortable interview with actress Megan Fox on &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; has resurfaced following reports of the embattled host allegedly saying the N-word on a past Christmas album and donning blackface in old &#8220;Man Show&#8221; sketches.
During the interview with Fox, Kimmel approvingly laughs when the actress recalled director Michael Bay allegedly sexualizing her when she was just 15 years old.
During one scene, Bay apparently directed a young Fox, who had &#8220;just turned 15,&#8221; to stand under a waterfall while wearing a bikini and heels, since she was too young to be sitting at a bar.
&#8220;[Bay&#8217;s] solution to that problem was to then have me dancing under a waterfall getting soaking wet,&#8221; Fox told Kimmel, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-michael-bay-backlash-megan-fox">Fox News</a>. &#8220;At 15, I was in 10th grade. That&#8217;s sort of a microcosm of how Bay&#8217;s mind works.&#8221;
Kimmel approvingly laughed, adding, &#8220;Well that&#8217;s really a microcosm of how all our minds work, but some of us have the decency to repress those thoughts and pretend that they don&#8217;t exist.&#8221;
As reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-michael-bay-backlash-megan-fox">Fox News</a>, folks online blasted both Bay and Kimmel for their actions and reactions to the uncomfortable story:
<blockquote>&#8220;Michael Bay has always been so up himself, this doesn&#8217;t surprise me at all. It&#8217;s totally unacceptable, the response was totally unacceptable and the fact nothing has been done about it is totally unacceptable,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Author_DJ_T/status/1274857123898429440?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said one person</a>.
Wrote another person: &#8220;This is disgusting. Why hasn&#8217;t <a href="https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel">@jimmykimmel</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/michaelbay">@michaelbay</a> been called out on this atrocious behaviour before? How does all of this start to surface now, years later, when it should&#8217;ve been dealt with then and there?&#8221;
&#8220;What an utterly disgusting take by Kimmel. Why is, &#8216;I&#8217;m so sorry that happened to you&#8217;, something that is beyond his imagination to say,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/BillSelznick/status/1274699528583577601" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wrote one user</a>. &#8220;Instead he offers, &#8216;We all have those thoughts, but we repress them&#8217;. God damn, she was 15. Who the Hell is &#8216;We&#8217;?&#8221;
&#8220;His response is even worse what the hell,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/ZachLawson04/status/1274556952106827777" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said another</a> of Kimmel.
<a href="https://twitter.com/Jehtty/status/1274691488463704064" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A third added</a>: &#8220;[He] basically said, &#8216;we all have thoughts sexualizing minors but we keep quiet about it bc we are good guys&#8217; i knew there was a reason i always instinctively disliked jimmy kimmel.&#8221;</blockquote>
During the same &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; show, the host jokingly showed off a picture he drew of him and Fox in a bed apparently making out together, Fox News noted.
On Monday, Kimmel, who consistently preaches left-wing politics and smears the president as racist, was pummeled in the press over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-audio-emerges-of-jimmy-kimmel-allegedly-using-n-word-report-says">reports</a> that he allegedly used the “N-word” multiple times in a song for a Christmas album recorded in 1996.
Ironically, as noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-audio-emerges-of-jimmy-kimmel-allegedly-using-n-word-report-says">The Daily Wire</a>, &#8220;Kimmel previously pressed actor Tom Arnold to release an alleged &#8216;N-word&#8217; tape of President Donald Trump, which has not materialized.&#8221;
Additionally, Kimmel&#8217;s past blackface appearances have gained renewed attention. &#8220;Kimmel, as a co-host of the &#8216;The Man Show,&#8217; performed a recurring skit that included him dressed in blackface as then-NBA star Karl Malone,&#8221; <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/503540-jimmy-kimmel-announces-summer-leave-after-blackface-controversy">The Hill</a> reported over the weekend. &#8220;Videos and photos of the skits on the show, which ran from 1999-2004, have been circulating online recently with calls for Kimmel to apologize.&#8221;
Kimmel recently announced that he&#8217;ll be taking the summer off, an announcement that came on the heels of the resurfaced blackface sketches.
&#8220;I&#8217;m taking this summer off to spend even more time with my family,&#8221; Kimmel announced, last week. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing wrong. I&#8217;m healthy, my family&#8217;s healthy, I just need a couple of months off.&#8221;
&#8220;While I&#8217;m gone, a cavalcade of very kind and capable people will be filling in for me,&#8221; he added.

WATCH: ‘I Had Just Turned 15’: Uncomfortable Megan Fox Interview With Jimmy Kimmel Resurfaces Following Alleged N-Word Tape

Hollywood

Donald Trump Jr. called out comedian Jimmy Kimmel and ABC on Monday afternoon after audio surfaced that allegedly featured Kimmel repeatedly using the &#8220;n-word,&#8221; saying that it is hard to see how Kimmel keeps his job given the &#8220;woke rules&#8221; that people like Kimmel have forced others to live by.
Trump wrote: &#8220;To be clear, I’m 100% against punishing comedians for jokes, even bad jokes from unfunny hack comedians like Jimmy Kimmel…but according to the left’s own woke rules that @jimmykimmel wants to force others to live by, it’s hard to see how @ABCNetwork allows him to keep his show.&#8221;

Trump Jr. Calls Out ABC, Jimmy Kimmel Over ‘N-Word’ Tape: ‘Hard To See How ABC’ Lets Him Keep His Job

Audio emerged on Monday afternoon of comedian Jimmy Kimmel allegedly using the &#8220;n-word&#8221; multiple times in a song that he recorded in 1996 for a Christmas album.
Kimmel  previously pressed actor Tom Arnold to release an alleged &#8220;n-word&#8221; tape of President Donald Trump, which has not materialized.
Fox News Editor Gregg Re exclusively <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-n-word-snoop-dogg-imitation-george-wallace-comic-podcast">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Fox News additionally has obtained audio from the Christmas album, &#8220;A Family Christmas In Your A&#8211;,&#8221; which came out of the &#8220;Kevin &amp; Bean&#8221; radio show that aired on KROQ-FM in California. A version of the track featuring Kimmel&#8217;s Snoop Dogg imitation, &#8220;Christmastime in the LBC,&#8221; has been uploaded to YouTube.
&#8230;

The song on the comedy Christmas album repeatedly features the &#8220;n-word.&#8221; Kimmel is currently <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/media/503540-jimmy-kimmel-announces-summer-leave-after-blackface-controversy">on leave</a> for the summer to &#8220;spend even more time with my family,&#8221; which comes as he has faced renewed scrutiny over his past use of blackface.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been doing this job for almost 18 years,&#8221; Kimmel said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve done 3,130 shows and there&#8217;s nothing wrong. My family is healthy, I&#8217;m healthy. I just need a couple of months off.&#8221;
Fox News also obtained a January 2013 podcast where Kimmel changed his voice to imitate the voice of black comedian George Wallace.
Fox News added:
<blockquote>In the 2013 podcast, Carolla said &#8220;Jimmy is doing Snoop&#8221; in the track, and Kimmel affirmed, &#8220;This is when Snoop Dogg first came out, hit the scene, and I used to imitate him by only saying, &#8216;You know what I&#8217;m saying?'&#8221;
&#8220;Jimmy, do you only do black people?&#8221; someone asks on the podcast.
&#8220;I prefer them, yes,&#8221; Kimmel responds, apparently jokingly.</blockquote>

Global Citizen Together At Home

Audio Emerges Of Jimmy Kimmel Allegedly Using ‘N-Word,’ Report Says

Adam Carolla’s upcoming project may put his “no apology” mantra to the test.
The podcaster’s fifth book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1642935883?pf_rd_r=ZF0FPJXYEBRMM5RNXGN8&amp;pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee">“I’m Your Emotional Support Animal: Navigating Our All Woke, No Joke Culture,”</a> shares so many politically incorrect bromides you’ll soon lose count.
Potential publishers didn’t, apparently.
Carolla says publishers weren’t salivating at the chance to claim his latest book, out June 16, even though his previous tomes all became New York Times’ best sellers.
“I think the climate for a voice like mine ten years ago was much different than for a voice like mine today,” he says, referring to his 2010 book “In 50 Years We’ll All Be Chicks.” “The publishers are getting kind of woke, too.”
That may be an understatement, but the comedian isn’t hungry for victimhood status. He thinks that sentiment is crushing our culture, along with wimpy car commercials, Fake News broadsides and, of course, airline passengers requiring more than one support critter.
Off the page, Carolla is worked up over the press making people, especially children, cower during the current pandemic.
“My daughter was freaked out for the last three months. Everyone was scaring her … the news, the moms the dads,” he says. “You’re hurting her life &#8230; they look at it like, ‘I’m doing the responsible thing.’”
He pins much of the blame on the corporate press.
&#8220;Here’s the problem. The facts as it pertains to COVID-19 weren’t that scary. CNN is in the ‘scare’ business,” he says. “They’re not in the ‘facts’ business. The facts are boring, and they won’t scare that many people.
“If they let you know that everyone who was dying was 88 and was in the nursing home, which they should have, you wouldn’t be that freaked out.”
Something similar is brewing over race relations in the country, he says.
“The actual number of cops shooting unarmed black citizens … it wouldn’t be enough to freak people out,” he says, thoughts that echo Heather MacDonald’s <a href="https://www.manhattan-institute.org/the-myth-of-systemic-police-racism">research</a> on the subject.
That narrative, he argues, is amplified by both the press and well-meaning adults.
“It’s a big problem when I see parents sitting down and explaining to their kids that we’re a racist nation,” Carolla says.
He name-checks Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock for telling their adopted black children “you have a target on your back.”
“That’s scary to the kids,” he says.
Carolla’s early years hardly suggested his rise to culture warrior status.
He grew up poor and famously left carpentry behind for a radio career, thanks to a boost from future chum Jimmy Kimmel. Carolla eventually teamed with Dr. Drew Pinsky for the syndicated “Loveline” radio show where they counseled teens on addiction, relationships and abuse.
He followed a bid to replace Howard Stern on terrestrial radio with “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast. And an entrepreneur was born, one coronated by the <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2011/05/adam-carolla-breaks-guinness-world-record-for-podcast-downloads.html">Guinness Book of World Records</a> two years after leaving traditional radio behind.
Today, the Carolla universe includes several podcasts, stand-up comedy tours, TV shows (“Crank Yankers”) and a small but growing library of car-related documentaries under the Chassy Media banner.
Carolla’s observational humor packs a subversive wallop by 2020 American standards, but he doesn’t think it’s doing him any favors.
“I don’t’ think there’s a clamoring for my message. It’s not overall good for me and my career and brand and legacy &#8230; it’s just the truth,” he says. “I didn’t get into this business to take my talking points from woke idiots who can’t decipher facts … if you’re Mayor [Eric] Garcetti or Gov. [Gavin] Newsom, you must then ignore all facts and take your talking points from your woke constituency.”
“I’m Your Emotional Support Animal” starts with a warning and/or promise.
“I’m not going to apologize for anything in this book… If you don’t like something in this book, you can kiss my…” you get the idea.
That stance makes him unique in celebrity circles, something made clear in recent days when NFL quarterback Drew Brees repeatedly asked for forgiveness after he praised the U.S. flag.
Carolla compared the apology phenomena to a classic “Twilight Zone” episode where Bill Mumy’s all-powerful character wished his foes <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_a_Good_Life_(The_Twilight_Zone)">“into the cornfield</a>.” It’s like what the woke mob does to those who don’t toe the proper narrative, he says.
“We keep talking about having an honest dialogue about race, but if anyone expresses an opinion other than, ‘cops are all racist’ … they have to apologize,” he says. “Would you call that an honest dialogue? How could we have an honest dialogue on any subject if you push back against a thought or notion and for that you were canceled?”
Carolla’s enduring friendship with Kimmel has yet to be canceled despite the chasm between their political takes. Kimmel’s ABC show routinely features the host <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/jimmy-kimmel-transformation-liberal/">excoriating President Donald Trump</a>, his GOP allies and even Republican voters.
Kimmel famously said he doesn’t mind losing the latter as part of his audience.
“<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHRuBRCShyA">Not good riddance, but riddance</a>,” he explained.
Even Kimmel’s blurb for “I’m Your Emotional Support Animal” suggests the tension in play.
“Within these pages, you will find written proof that Adam Carolla is insane. Buy this for your uncle,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host wrote.
The two agree not to get political when they hang out, Carolla says.
“I think more people should do it,” he says of that approach.
“Even when we shared an office for many years we never talked about politics,” he says of the duo’s tenure hosting Comedy Central’s “The Man Show.” “We’re just dudes who want to make people laugh. We haven’t really changed that … we just continued on not talking about politics &#8230; good people can disagree on subjects.”
Carolla’s book also touches on President Trump, offering readers a unique glimpse at the hard-charging personality.
“I believe he wants to be loved,” he says, something his ideological foes could seize upon if they dropped their Trump derangement for a spell.
“I believe that if Mark Ruffalo and Rosie O’Donnell sent him a fruit basket and said, ‘let’s let bygones be bygones,’ he’d go, ‘Would you like to be Ambassador to Sweden?’” he says.
One reason Carolla can afford his “no apologies” pledge is because he runs his own company, or “pirate ship” to use his phrase. Many Americans lack that luxury, and he says it means they need to think ahead if they dare think for themselves.
“First things first, you need to set yourself up,” he says. “I can get canceled or wished out into the cornfield, but I have stuff I can sell … or I can just retire,” he says with a laugh. “You need to have a Plan B &#8230; something to fall back on, so that you can express your honest opinion and stop apologizing. All it does is begat more apologies.”
The current apology mania isn’t about being kind or respectful, he warns. It’s about power.
“The ultimate power is the apology,” he says. “Being able to beat someone up is a kind of power … but having them apologize in the public square [means] you have dominion over that person.”

Adam Carolla

EXCLUSIVE: Adam Carolla Gets Raw About ‘All Woke, No Joke Culture,’ Friendship With Jimmy Kimmel, Truth About Trump

Coronavirus

Donald Trump

Media Bias

Political Correctness

Jimmy Kimmel pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes back in 2013, but we all had a good laugh about it later.
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host faked a video where the subject, stuntwoman Daphne Avalon playing a YouTube EveryGirl, twerked so hard she set her buttocks on fire.
It was pure Kimmel circa 2013 – silly, outrageous and unexpected. Who could hold a grudge against the late-night prankster, especially after the clip racked up millions of views in short order?
Turns out Kimmel never stopped pulling the wool over our eyes, but now it’s no laughing matter.
The comic took a hard-left turn in recent years following President Donald Trump’s election, and he’s been serving up Fake News betwixt his angry monologues and fawning celebrity chats.
Most recently, Kimmel aired a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-apologizes-mike-pence-empty-boxes-video-1294312">selectively edited video</a> designed to humiliate Vice President Mike Pence. Kimmel got caught and served up a snarky mea culpa with about 2 percent raw apology inside.
That’s more than he’s done in the past. He routinely gets away with sharing false information on his show, while the majority of media reporters either silently cheer or ignore his mistakes.
Not here.
Here’s six other times when Kimmel peddled Fake News for all to see … sans consequence, of course.
1. The China &#8220;Conspiracy&#8221;
Earlier this month Kimmel tried to savage President Trump by weaponizing the country behind the pandemic against him.
Really.
Kimmel mocked the President for <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/jimmy-kimmel-china-trump/">suggesting a Chinese lab</a> held the key to the flu’s origin.
<blockquote>He is also pushing U.S. Intelligence to find evidence for this theory that the virus was accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan. That’s his new angle to feed the wingnuts, to treat this virus like it was a conspiracy of some kind … Tomorrow he’ll blame the Spanish flu on Antonio Banderas.</blockquote>
It’s almost funny, and it’s likely inaccurate. Many U.S. intelligence agencies say the virus came from that Wuhan lab. That isn’t a conspiracy theory, that’s an opinion rooted in reality.
2. Resistance Fiction 101
The Resistance lives for the kind of conspiracies Trump’s critics routinely pin on him. You won’t find a better example than this March exchange <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-jimmy-kimmel-asks-joe-biden-if-trump-can-postpone-election-due-to-coronavirus/">between Kimmel and Vice President Joe Biden</a>.
“Is it possible that Trump could postpone the election? ” Kimmel asked.
“No, he doesn’t have the authority to do that,” Biden said, but added that “it’s possible they may start a drumbeat saying it should be postponed.”
Based on … absolutely nothing. Nada.
3. Schiff over Nunes
Kimmel treats Democrat guests like the Queen of England. They yuk it up, slam the “other” party and make like longtime buddies. That proved embarrassing, in retrospect, when <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2020/02/29/column-jimmy-kimmel-slobbers-over-schiff">Kimmel groveled before Rep. Adam Schiff</a> while slamming Rep. Devin Nunes earlier this year.
History hasn’t been kind to Schiff regarding the Russian collusion hoax, an understatement for the ages. Remember how many times Schiff said he held proof of the Russia/Trump relationship?
We’re still waiting …
Tell that to Kimmel, who probably doesn’t even regret how he fawned over Schiff or savaged Nunes.
“Devin Nunes, who for whatever reason just kind of came out of nowhere, and really has devoted his life to protecting Donald Trump, for reasons that are unknown to me … “
Kimmel added, “I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s dumb, if he&#8217;s evil, if he&#8217;s some combination of the two. I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;s dumb. I won&#8217;t speak to evil. But what&#8217;s going on there?”
The most embarrassing part? This chat came in February, long after the Russian collusion hoax was partially dismantled by cold, hard facts. The hoax collapsed entirely in recent days, but even then Kimmel should have known better than to stop reading the dated DNC talking points verbatim.
4. Don’t Know Much ‘bout History
Kimmel is no scholar, and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about there. He’s a comedian, not a university professor. Still, if you’re going to wade into political waters, you <a href="https://www.statesman.com/news/20190620/fact-check-is-jimmy-kimmel-right-that-nixon-was-last-president-to-be-impeached">should know some fundamentals</a>.
“Richard Nixon was the last president to be impeached by a ‘witch hunt,’” Kimmel joked at one point, hoping Trump would join that sad list.
Sadly, Kimmel went 0-2 with the gag. President Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached. And, of course, President Bill Clinton got impeached before the Democrats slapped the label on President Trump.
The only shock here? PolitiFact actually called Kimmel to task for the double mistake.
5. The Invisible Mueller Report
Kimmel, like every Hollywood celebrity, knew in their bones the Mueller Report would bounce Trump out of the White House. One star even bought a <a href="https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/christian-toto/2019/03/14/patricia-arquette-says-she-prays-to-a-robert-mueller-devotional-candle-n64420">votive candle</a> with the prosecutor’s mug on it.
Their collective hopes died when the Mueller Report proved a stink bomb, although not as catastrophic as Mueller’s subsequent testimony on the subject.
Still, anyone could pick up their own copy of the Report at Amazon.com following its release. Tell that to Kimmel.
Last June, he invited Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on his show, and the <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/aiden-jackson/2019/06/01/jimmy-kimmel-we-havent-had-chance-see-mueller-report">following exchange</a> took place.
“Have you read the Mueller report?” Once Pelosi admitted that she has indeed read the report, Kimmel made a statement that makes one ponder whether he is truly paying attention to anything outside of his liberal bubble or the news in general. “Oh, interesting. I would want to see it, but you know&#8230; we haven&#8217;t had a chance to see the Mueller report.”
A look at Amazon shows at least one version of the Report came out two months before that Kimmel-Pelosi exchange.
6. Kimmel Has Plenty of Company Here…
You almost want to cut the late night host some slack for this last item.
Kimmel, like so many actual news reporters, took President Trump’s words out of context to pretend he called the Nazis marching in Charlottesville “fine people” following the tragic death of Heather Heyer.
It’s a lie that lives on, even in the Oscar-winning Spike Lee film “BlacKkKlansman.” Still, Kimmel joined <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-president-trumps-reaction-charlottesville-total-disaster/story?id=49249349">the Fake News chorus</a> in spreading the falsehood.
&#8220;[The president] is a total disaster &#8230; now he does need to go.&#8221;

6 Times Jimmy Kimmel’s Tried To Pull The Wool Over Everyone’s Eyes

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has apologized to Mike Pence and Sen. Ted Cruz after he posted a phony video about the vice president and then bashed the Texas Republican when he complained about it.
“About last night: I gotta work on some things myself,” Scarborough wrote on Twitter. “I feel really bad about retweeting the Jimmy Kimmel video. I feel worse about being provoked. I apologize again to Mike Pence, to my Twitter followers, and to Ted. I’ve got to do better.”
The brouhaha started after Scarborough, host of &#8220;Morning Joe,&#8221; shared a video created by late-night talk show host Kimmel over the weekend. The clip showed Pence carrying &#8220;empty&#8221; boxes of personal protective equipment (PPE) into a hospital &#8212; supposedly for just a photo-op. But the clip was missing some key context: the full footage from C-SPAN showed Pence helping out with full boxes of PPE and later jokingly asking his staff that maybe he could carry the empty ones &#8220;just for the camera.&#8221;
Scarborough shared the Kimmel video, which Twitter eventually labeled as &#8220;manipulated media.&#8221;

“Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he’s doing. A big box of nothin’ delivering another box of nothin&#8217;,&#8221; Kimmel said. The video has more than six million views.
But Pence was just making a joke, which was apparent to anyone who watched the full video.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s an unedited version of @VP Pence delivering PPE to Woodbine Rehab Center. The clip from @JimmyKimmel and sent viral by @mattmfm &amp; others is quite deceptive. Pence is clearly joking when he talks about empty boxes for the camera, &amp; shuts the van doors right after the quip,&#8221; Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy wrote.

But Cruz had already gone on the offensive by then.
&#8220;Hmm. When you’re on the defensive for being dishonest &amp; corrupt, perhaps best not to forward fraudulent stories from Jimmy Kimmel (that he’s admitted were false)? You are claiming to be a journalist, after all&#8230;.&#8221; Cruz tweeted at Scarborough.
Scarborough fired back.
&#8220;Ted, when I make a mistake I admit it. You remain mired in shame because you kowtow to a man who called your wife ugly and said your daddy assassinated JFK. Me messing up a tweet or two will never erase the shame you carry every day of your life,&#8221; he wrote.
But Cruz came back with a powerful counter punch.
&#8220;Joe, you chased after Trump for 2 years like a teenage girl throwing her panties at the latest boy band; now you pretend to be this indignant paragon of virtue outraged at everything he says &amp; does. All to get invited to DC cocktail parties &amp; thrill the 13 people watching MSNBC,&#8221; Cruz tweeted.

‘I’ve Got To Do Better’: Joe Scarborough Apologizes To Ted Cruz After Twitter Spat

Joe Scarborough

Mike Pence

Ted Cruz

On Monday night, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel responded to the uproar over him <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-runs-supposedly-damning-video-of-mike-pence-delivering-empty-boxes-kimmel-was-lying">showing a deceptive video</a> about Vice President Mike Pence and subsequently mocking Pence. In the rant, Kimmel engaged in whataboutism targeting the Trump administration, mocking Christians, accusing some Trump supporters of hypocrisy, and concluding with a list of charges against Trump that would not be out of place in a Democratic Party campaign ad.
Kimmel began by recalling what had occurred last week:
<blockquote>Thursday night, I showed a video. It was one of these embarrassing photo-ops of Mike Pence, the vice president, carrying boxes delivering PPE to a facility for senior citizens. It was a publicity stunt to show how much they&#8217;re doing, but that happens in politics, okay, fine. The trouble started because at one point in the video after awkwardly lugging a heavy box to the door, Mike Pence finds some empty boxes in the back of the van. Why there were empty boxes in the back of the van, I don&#8217;t know, but he finds them and he says, &#8220;Can I just carry the empty ones just for the camera,&#8221; which turns out he was joking. How anyone can tell when Mike Pence is joking, I don&#8217;t know, I don&#8217;t know, but he was joking. I didn&#8217;t know because I&#8217;d only watched part of the video.</blockquote>
Kimmel couldn&#8217;t resist taking another shot at Pence:
<blockquote>It turns out there were 29 minutes of this on C-Span that apparently indicate he was joking about carrying the empty boxes for the camera, which again I didn&#8217;t know because I don&#8217;t have the mental endurance it requires to watch Mike Pence deliver boxes for 29 minutes on C-Span. But I should have watched the whole thing, I guess.</blockquote>
Then he turned to the people who had slammed him for his actions vis-a-vis the video:
<blockquote>Bottom line is: I was wrong; he was joking. I didn&#8217;t know, I made a mistake, and when I found out I was wrong, I acknowledged it by taking the video down and tweeting an apology — of sorts — to the best of my ability. Apologizing to the Trump administration for spreading untruth is like apologizing to Barry Bonds for using steroids. It&#8217;s hard. But the outrage from the MAGA hats, the outpouring of venom was disgusting. Stupid, too. But mostly disgusting. Some of these lunatics have the audacity to use the word “Christian” in their bios, but that didn&#8217;t stop them from wishing death on me, on my family, on my son. Some of them said they hope my son dies.  They threatened my wife.</blockquote>
Kimmel then used the accusation against him that he had used a doctored video to segue to an attack on Trump:
<blockquote>There were hundreds of horrible, hateful, sometimes violent, Twitter and Facebook posts because I showed what they kept calling a doctored video, which was not a doctored video by the way. We didn&#8217;t do anything to it. We didn&#8217;t doctor the video. Doctors are the people Donald Trump doesn&#8217;t listen to. And doctored videos are something Donald Trump posts all the time. Some of his paid campaign ads are doctored videos that had to be removed for violating the rules about that sort of thing.</blockquote>
Then he worked in an attack on some Trump supporters:
<blockquote>But these people who blindly pledge their allegiance to Donald Trump instead of this country are so — their hypocrisy runs so deep, they don&#8217;t even seem to be aware of it anymore. It&#8217;s like when an Uber driver wears too much cologne.</blockquote>
Then he leveled a snide accusation that people associated with Pence aren&#8217;t thinking about the tragedy of thousands of people dying from the coronavirus:
<blockquote>The communications director for Mike Pence&#8217;s campaign tweeted all day about this Friday, all day, it&#8217;s the only thing he tweeted about. And I got an email from the vice president&#8217;s office requesting that I apologize on air. On Twitter wasn&#8217;t enough, I guess; they wanted it on air, because this is what they&#8217;re thinking about while thousands of Americans are dying every day. Jokes from late-night talk show hosts.</blockquote>
Kimmel then reverted to some whataboutism:
<blockquote>But okay, you know what, it was my mistake. I do apologize to the vice president, again for spreading misinformation about him. Spreading misinformation is their thing and I stepped on their toes.</blockquote>
And another attack on Pence:
<blockquote>But now that I&#8217;ve done that, I would like the vice president, since he asked me to apologize, to ask his boss, who lies every time there isn&#8217;t a McNugget in his mouth, to apologize for the following perversions of decency and democracy. Mike Pence has stood by and warmly enabled with a smug little twinkle in his eye these things for four miserable years.</blockquote>
Then the list that could have come from a Democratic Party campaign ad:
<blockquote>We would like an apology for: separating thousands of migrant children from their parents, inviting the Taliban to Camp David, siding with Vladimir Putin over US intelligence, calling neo-Nazis “very fine people,” using campaign money to pay off a porn star, mocking a 16 year old climate activist, mocking Christine Blasey Ford, obstruction of justice, ignoring warnings on Coronavirus, downplaying the dangers of coronavirus, mishandling the coronavirus, we still don&#8217;t have tests for the coronavirus, why are we opening the country when we have no tests for coronavirus, there are about 15,000 more. But let&#8217;s start with apologizing for those and we&#8217;ll get to the rest.</blockquote>

WATCH: Kimmel Responds To Uproar Over Pence Video: ‘Stupid,’ ‘Disgusting’; Ends With Virtual Democratic Campaign Ad

On Friday morning, after blowback erupted from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel playing a deceptively-edited video in order to attack Vice-President Mike Pence, Kimmel offered a snide apology on Twitter, writing, &#8220;it would appear that <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/VP" data-focusable="true">@vp</a> was joking about carrying empty boxes for a staged publicity stunt. The full video reveals that he was carrying full boxes for a staged publicity stunt. My apologies. I know how dearly this administration values truth.&#8221;
On Thursday night, Jimmy Kimmel ripped  Pence, asserting that a video showing Pence carrying empty boxes to a rehabilitation and healthcare center was an attempt by Pence to “pretend,” adding that it was &#8220;the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he’s doing. A big box of nothin’ delivering another box of nothin’.”
One problem: the video had been deceptively edited, as the complete video shows Pence at the Woodbine Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Alexandria, Virginia, delivering boxes full of personal protective equipment (PPE) from FEMA.
Kimmel stated:
<blockquote>Here he is, with no mask on, wheeling boxes of PPEs into a health care center and doing his best to lift them. What a hero. (laughing) Just barely in the door. And since it was going so well, and also because he didn’t realize he had a mic on, Magic Mike decided to keep it going. Listen in closely here:</blockquote>
The video shows someone saying, “Those are empty, sir. We’re good to go.” Pence responds, “Well, can I carry the empty ones? Just for the camera?” Someone answers, “Absolutely.”
Kimmel continued, “Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he’s doing. A big box of nothin’ delivering another box of nothin’.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Kimmel routinely takes shots at figures within the Trump administration; in December 2018, referencing reports that one of the leading candidates to replace Gen. John Kelly as Trump&#8217;s chief of staff was none other then Trump&#8217;s son-in-law and key adviser Jared Kushner, Kimmel decided to work in a sexual reference to his wife, Ivanka, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-jimmy-kimmel-cracks-sexual-joke-about-ivanka-james-barrett">saying</a>,&#8221;I guess the thinking of [Trump] is: if he’s good enough to screw my daughter, he’s good enough to screw the country.&#8221;
In August 2019, Kimmel went on a rant in which he branded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell an “evil soulless odd creep,” called Republicans “cowardly” for refusing to appear on left-wing cable news shows after the mass shootings over the weekend, and finished with a flourish, referring to Trump supporters as people who have been “repeatedly punched in the head” and calling President Trump’s sons Donald Jr. and Eric the “Douches of Hazzard” for being fans of MMA fighter Colby Covington.

After all the boxes had been delivered, Pence stood outside and delivered a moving message to the staff of the center, saying:
<blockquote>Well, hey, everybody, I’m Vice President Mike Pence and it’s great to be here. Great to be here at the Woodbine Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center. On the behalf of your president, on the behalf of all us on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, frankly, on behalf of a grateful nation, it’s my great privilege to be here today and help deliver some additional personal protective equipment. You all are receiving one of the first installments, you might be glad to know, of PPE that’s gonna be going to every nursing home in America. 15,400 nursing homes will be receiving gowns and gloves and masks: all the personal protective equipment that I had the privilege of delivering here today.</blockquote>
He continued:
<blockquote>I’ve got with me the head of the Center for Medicaid/Medicare Services as well as members of our White House Coronavirus Task Force team; we just couldn’t resist the opportunity to come and do a little bit of heavy lifting, but most importantly just to say thank you. Thank you for the work that you do; caring for and loving our grandparents, aunts and uncles, moms and dads. I just reflected a moment ago, and yesterday when we celebrated National Nurses Day in the White House, I said yesterday that the American people really do understand that during this time of the coronavirus epidemic, that those of you that wear the uniform of nurses, and to the same extent, our doctors and other healthcare workers, you’re not just providing world-class healthcare that every one of us would want our family to have, but we also understand that you’re filling in for family. We know the emotional weight that’s placed on you. We see the way that all of you here at Woodbine and all of you at nursing homes around the country have stepped up is truly inspiring, and I hope today’s delivery is just one more piece of evidence of the profound gratitude the American people feel to each and every one of you.</blockquote>

Members Of The Coronavirus Task Force Hold Press Briefing

Jimmy Kimmel Runs Supposedly Damning Video Of Mike Pence Delivering Empty Boxes. Kimmel Was Lying.

On Monday night, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel joined the chorus of comedians and media figures bashing the anti-lockdown protesters, even going so far to suggest they were &#8220;suicidal.&#8221;
After Kimmel relayed several highlights to illustrate the extremeness of some protesters, including one in which a woman yelled &#8220;go to China if you want communism&#8221; at an angry healthcare worker, he then suggested that President Trump was fueling the protests.
“Well you know what they say: it ain’t over until the fat lady screams crazy rightwing talking points at a medical professional who’s trying to save their family’s lives,” said Kimmel, as reported by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/apr/21/jimmy-kimmel-donald-trump-trevor-noah-stephen-colbert">The Guardian</a>.
“A big reason why these protests are gaining steam is because our president is encouraging them,” he continued. “Despite everyone who works for him telling people to stay at home, despite the official White House mandate being shelter in place, over the weekend the guy who runs the White House tweeted ‘LIBERATE MICHIGAN,’ ‘LIBERATE MINNESOTA’ and ‘LIBERATE VIRGINIA’. This from a man who refuses to even liberate Melania.”
Kimmel then alleged that the pro-Trump protesters might be suicidal for fighting so strongly for the things that &#8220;will kill them.&#8221;
“It really is irresponsible to the most unbelievable degree to be saying these things,&#8221; said Kimmel. “I’m starting to think these characters who support Trump might be suicidal – they seem to fight hardest for the things that will kill them. They want freedom to gather in large groups during an epidemic, they want guns, they want pollution. I figured it out – they want to die and they’re taking us down with them. It’s like if the Titanic were headed for the iceberg and half of the passengers were like ‘could you please speed this thing up?’”

Kimmel&#8217;s comments about the protesters echo those of &#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Joy Behar, who said last week that protesters in Michigan should waive their right to treatment if they get the coronavirus.
“Well, I’d like to ask them if they’re willing to sign away their right to treatment if and when they get infected,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wach-the-view-co-host-joy-behar-says-michigan-protesters-should-sign-away-their-right-to-treatment">Behar said</a>. “Are you gonna say, ‘OK, I don’t need a ventilator because I thought I should go out and defy the governor’s order?&#8217;”
Behar also expressed concern that people of in affected states might move to other states and spread the infection.
“OK, and I’d like to know if people in states that are following the guidelines, like people like us in New York, can be sure that these people don’t come here,” she said. “I understand the fact that they’re upset they can’t get their veggies. But hello, we’re talking about this disease being way more infecting and worse than they even thought.”
On Saturday, comedian Patton Oswalt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/comedian-patton-oswalt-mocks-anti-shutdown-protesters-recalls-anne-frank">mocked protesters</a> angered by the economic hardships brought on by the prolonged lockdowns, comparing them to famed Holocaust victim Anne Frank.
“Anne Frank spent 2 years hiding in an attic and we’ve been home for just over a month with Netflix, food delivery &amp; video games and there are people risking viral death by storming state capital buildings &amp; screaming, ‘Open Fuddruckers!&#8217;” the comedian tweeted.

WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Says Anti-Lockdown Protesters ‘Might Be Suicidal,’ ‘They Want To Die’

On Monday, the World Health Organization (WHO), which has been accused of parroting Chinese propaganda, <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/06-04-2020-who-and-global-citizen-announce-one-world-together-at-home-global-special-to-support-healthcare-workers-in-the-fight-against-the-covid-19-pandemic">announced</a> it was partnering with Global Citizen, an organization that <a href="https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/about/who-we-are/">describes itself</a> as “a movement of engaged citizens who are using their collective voice to end extreme poverty by 2030,” to host a globally televised and streamed special on April 18 at 8:00 EDT titled One World: Together At Home.
The program will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon of &#8220;The Tonight Show,&#8221; Jimmy Kimmel of &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live&#8221; and Stephen Colbert of &#8220;The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” all of whom have consistently taken shots at President Trump.
Last week GOP Senator Rick Scott of Florida accused WHO of “<a href="https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1217043229427761152?s=20">willfully parroting propaganda</a> from the Chinese Communist Party, spreading misinformation that puts families health at risk.”
He added:
<blockquote>The mission of the WHO is to get public health information to the world so every country can make the best decisions to keep their citizens safe. When it comes to Coronavirus, the WHO failed. They need to be held accountable for their role in promoting misinformation and helping Communist China cover up a global pandemic. We know Communist China is lying about how many cases and deaths they have, what they knew and when they knew it – and the WHO never bothered to investigate further. Their inaction cost lives. As soon as Congress is back in session, there should be a hearing, along with a full investigation, to review whether American taxpayers should continue to spend millions of dollars every year to fund an organization that willfully parroted propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party.</blockquote>

António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, asserted, “The United Nations system is fully mobilized: supporting country responses, placing our supply chains at the world’s disposal and advocating for a global cease-fire. We are proud to join forces with ‘One World: Together At Home’ to help suppress the transmission of the virus, minimize social-economic impacts on the global community and work together now to advance Global Goals for the future. There is no greater case for collective action than our joint response to COVID-19 – we are in this together and we will get through this together.&#8221;
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO, stated, “The World Health Organization is committed to defeating the coronavirus pandemic with science and public health measures, and supporting the health workers who are on the frontlines of the response. We may have to be apart physically for a while, but we can still come together virtually to enjoy great music. The ‘One World: Together At Home’ concert represents a powerful show of solidarity against a common threat.”

Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon To Host Event For World Health Organization

You might think President Trump&#8217;s hopeful message of wanting to re-open the economy by Easter would give comedians some good news to bring to their viewers. Not surprisingly, that’s not the case for late-night hosts.
While 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment last week and most Americans face an uncertain future as SARS-CoV-2 sweeps across the nation, late-night TV hosts are bashing Trump for trying to re-open the economy and imploring him to keep it closed.
But the TV hosts are scolding the president from their multi-million dollar mansions, aware that their multi-million salaries are not in jeopardy and, with so many Americans isolated in their homes, their audiences could actually even grow.
Take Trevor Noah, host of &#8220;The Daily Show.&#8221;  He&#8217;ll still be getting his <a href="https://comparilist.com/trevor-noah-net-worth/">estimated</a> $8 million a year salary and keeping his $10 million <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trevor-noah-new-york-apartment-tour-photos-2017-3">penthouse apartment</a>, which occupies the 17th and 18th floor of a building in midtown Manhattan.
Noah has been posting videos, sticking with his &#8220;Daily Show&#8221; format, on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JINuIu0Th-Q&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=396">YouTube</a>. In one, he says: &#8220;The the story that&#8217;s got everyone talking is that while more and more countries around the world are shutting down to stop coronavirus from spreading, Donald Jamison Trump is preparing for a grand opening.&#8221;
Trump said Tuesday he would “love to have the country opened up” by Easter, which is April 12. “It’s such an important day for other reasons, but I will make it an important day for this: I would love to have the country opened up, and they are just raring to go, by Easter,” the president said in a Fox News virtual town hall from the White House Rose Garden. “We’re opening up this incredible country. Because we have to do that. I would love to have it open by Easter.”
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Noah said, &#8220;President Trump said he wants to re-open on Easter. Which makes sense, I mean, Easter is all about resurrection, after all. Happy Easter, everyone — He is risen. &#8216;He&#8217; meaning coronavirus.&#8221;
Noah added: &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to be a genius to see why the president&#8217;s plan is alarming a lot of people right now.&#8221;
&#8220;Late Night&#8221; host Seth Meyers was even most distraught at the idea of Trump&#8217;s optimism that the economy could be re-opened by April 12, posting his own video on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku5C9vpaG4k">YouTube</a>.
Meyers, who&#8217;s still pulling in his <a href="https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/seth-meyers-net-worth.html/">estimated</a> $3 million annual salary, did the video from his $7.5 million <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/step-inside-seth-meyers-manhattan-duplex">Manhattan duplex</a> in Greenwich Village. Meyers played a clip in which Trump said:  &#8220;Ultimately the goal is to ease the guidelines and open things up to very large sections of our country as we near the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy. There’s tremendous hope as we look forward and we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.&#8221;
Meyers responded, saying: &#8220;Light at the end of the tunnel? What are you talking about? Are you sure you’re not just staring at the sun again? &#8230; Trump cares more about the Dow than saving lives. It’s that simple.&#8221;
On Trump saying he hoped the U.S. could be open by Easter, Meyers said, &#8220;You just came up with yourself? Did you decide to cede the decision to&#8221; the Easter Bunny (as an image of the holiday bunny. Impersonating Trump, Meyers said: &#8220;He’s bringing the eggs whether we like it or not, I say be ready.&#8221;
Then as himself, he added: &#8220;Don’t just pull dates out of your a**. That’s unsanitary. &#8230; He randomly concocted a date against the advice of virtually all public health experts.&#8221;
Meyers&#8217; YouTube subscriber count, by the way, has doubled since the pandemic swept America.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel also posted a video — from one of his <a href="https://www.dirt.com/entertainers/performers/jimmy-kimmel-house-hermosa-beach-11950/">three houses</a> in Hermosa Beach, California (he bought one for $2.1 million in 2004, another for $2.25 million in 2014 and a third for $8 million in 2017). His annual salary was <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/13/top-4-late-night-tv-hosts-make-millions-of-dollars-a-year.html">estimated</a> at $15 million back in 2017.
In response to Trump&#8217;s hope to re-open by Easter, Kimmel said in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yS4MBk-y1E&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=181">video</a>:  &#8220;By Easter?! That&#8217;s in two and half weeks. Even Jesus is like, &#8216;Jesus! Calm down let’s think this through.&#8217;
&#8220;We’re all going to die so the president can eat Peeps,&#8221; Kimmel said.
Comedian Victor Dweck, who like Noah and Meyers lives in Manhattan, told The Daily Wire that he hopes the late-night hosts can channel their skills into bringing more of a hopeful message to America.
&#8220;Now, more than ever, we need laughs. We need funny people. The late-night hosts are very skilled, very gifted comics. I hope they can direct their talent and energy into bringing smiles to millions of people in this difficult time. With the huge reach that they have and the wind of success at their back, I think they are in a unique position to bring Americans together with a message of hope,&#8221; he said.
For content creators like Dweck, the pandemic has thrown them all a curveball. “We had just completed a pilot we shot for an original series and were literally a day from sending it out to studios in Hollywood, and then the pandemic took over America. Just about every industry has paused and entered a crisis management mode. For creators, it’s forced us to re-think how we can shoot and deliver new content right now.&#8221;
And now, that field is even more crowded, what with the late-night TV hosts posting their own content exclusively on the internet.
Dweck has his own take on virus, a YoutTube video titled “<a href="http://bit.ly/corona-dweck">Love in the Time of Corona,</a>” in which two people on a first date run into an issue because neither want to take off their protective masks.
&#8220;I&#8217;d like to bring as many laughs to as many people as possible. As a comedian, that means just focusing on delivering funny, not dread.&#8221;

Adam Schiff is the congressman of Hollywood, and in Hollywood, he can do no wrong as he wages war on President Donald Trump. For proof, look no further than the slobbery interview granted by ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Feb. 24. Several times, Kimmel made the point that Schiff is &#8220;our local congressman&#8221; and has an office &#8220;right down the block&#8221; on Hollywood Boulevard.
After some pleasantries about how Schiff gets stopped on the streets by (mostly) admiring citizens, the talk turned to President Trump. Kimmel ran a clip in which Trump insisted Schiff be investigated for having leaked details of a classified briefing on Russian interference in the 2020 election to the newspapers. Kimmel, who&#8217;s no lawyer, said nothing about it being illegal to share classified information, and he certainly didn&#8217;t ask Schiff to deny he had leaked classified information.
The newspapers disdained Trump&#8217;s allegation as being &#8220;without evidence,&#8221; which is very convenient when they keep their sources anonymous.
Kimmel acted amazed. &#8220;Who is &#8216;they&#8217; that he wants &#8230; to do an investigation of you? Would this be your fellow congressmen?&#8221; Schiff said: &#8220;No, it&#8217;s much more malicious than that. He wants the Justice Department — his hand-picked hack at the attorney general&#8217;s office, Bill Barr — to investigate his political enemies.&#8221; Kimmel replied &#8220;(S)houldn&#8217;t everyone, regardless of their party, be very troubled by this?&#8221; Schiff said, &#8220;Absolutely.&#8221;
When Sen. Martha McSally calls a CNN reporter a &#8220;hack,&#8221; the entire media elite is outraged, but when Schiff calls the attorney general a &#8220;hack,&#8221; everyone just nods and giggles. Kimmel, who defined the word &#8220;hack,&#8221; insisted that Schiff&#8217;s partisan behavior be defended &#8220;regardless of &#8230; party.&#8221;
Kimmel wanted the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee to be outraged. They were — at the leaks from people still trying to claim that there is some grand Russian-collusion scheme. Schiff raised the name of ranking member Devin Nunes, and Kimmel pounced.
&#8220;Devin Nunes &#8230; for whatever reason, just kind of came out of nowhere, and really has devoted his life to protecting Donald Trump, for reasons that are unknown to me,&#8221; he said, as if Nunes hasn&#8217;t been in Congress since 2003 — in other words, as long as &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221;
Kimmel added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s dumb, if he&#8217;s evil, if he&#8217;s some combination of the two. I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;s dumb. I won&#8217;t speak to evil. But what&#8217;s going on there?&#8221;
This is the classic divide for liberals when it comes to conservatives: Conservatives are either dumb (liberal take on former Vice President Dan Quayle) or evil (liberal take on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich). Jimmy Kimmel never graduated from college, but he can play to the gallery and pretend the Republicans are idiots or villains. He&#8217;s a comedian, so he&#8217;s the smartest guy in the room.
This is why Schiff can do no wrong. Which congressman has been vindicated by the evidence on the charge of Russian collusion: Schiff or Nunes? It doesn&#8217;t matter what special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s report said — although it showed Schiff was wrong when he said he had definitive evidence of collusion.
It certainly doesn&#8217;t matter what the report from Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz said. Nunes composed a memo on how the hacks in former President Barack Obama&#8217;s Justice Department abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to spy on Trump&#8217;s transition team. Schiff offered a memo in rebuttal. On each point, Horowitz found that Nunes was right and Schiff was wrong.
Jimmy Kimmel is running a comedy show, not a court proceeding. He just feels in his heart that Schiff is right. He gushes to Schiff and says, &#8220;I am grateful for what you do,&#8221; because they both desperately want to end Trump&#8217;s presidency.

BOZELL & GRAHAM: Jimmy Kimmel Slobbers Over Schiff

On Tuesday night, as President Trump delivered his State of the Union speech, Hollywood celebrities, unable to control themselves, (as usual), vented their spleens on Twitter with a series of messages displaying their absolute hatred for the president.
Late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, who responded to Trump&#8217;s 2018 SOTU by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-sinks-new-low-anti-trump-stunt-james-barrett">inviting</a> porn star Stormy Daniels on his show; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-jimmy-kimmel-cries-calls-trump-mentally-ill-amanda-prestigiacomo">called</a> Trump &#8220;Obviously mentally ill&#8221; if he didn&#8217;t adopt Kimmel&#8217;s anti-gun perspective; and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kimmel-mocking-trump-i-dont-think-you-can-go-too-hank-berrien">insisted</a> “Not at all.

As David Gelernter wrote in <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-real-reason-they-hate-trump-1540148467">The Wall Street Journal</a>:
<blockquote>The difference between citizens who hate Mr. Trump and those who can live with him—whether they love or merely tolerate him—comes down to their views of the typical American: the farmer, factory hand, auto mechanic, machinist, teamster, shop owner, clerk, software engineer, infantryman, truck driver, housewife. The leftist intellectuals I know say they dislike such people insofar as they tend to be conservative Republicans &#8230;
Mr. Trump reminds us who the average American really is. Not the average male American, or the average white American. We know for sure that, come 2020, intellectuals will be dumbfounded at the number of women and blacks who will vote for Mr. Trump. He might be realigning the political map: plain average Americans of every type vs. fancy ones.</blockquote>
Gelernter concluded by painting a vivid picture of those who hate Trump from their elitist positions:
<blockquote>&#8230; what I see on the left is often plain, unconditional hatred of which the hater—God forgive him—is proud. It’s discouraging, even disgusting. And it does mean, I believe, that the Trump-hater truly does hate the average American—male or female, black or white. Often he hates America, too.</blockquote>

Hillary Clinton decided to dabble in comedy over the weekend, but she did the one thing comedians consider a capital offense: She stole a joke.
On Sunday afternoon, the two-time loser posted a &#8220;letter&#8221; on Twitter, purportedly from President John K. Kennedy to then-USSR premier Nikita Khrushchev.
Clinton wrote on the post: &#8220;Found in the archives&#8230;&#8221;
The letter read:
<blockquote>Dear Premier Khruschev,
Don’t be a d*ck, ok? Get your missiles out of Cuba. Everybody will say “Yay! Khruschev! You’re the best!” But if you don’t everybody will be like “what an a**hole” and call your garbage country “the Soviet Bunion.”
You’re really busting my nuts here.
Give you a jingle later.
Hugs,
John Fitzgerald Kennedy</blockquote>

The fake letter was intended to ridicule President Trump, who reportedly wrote to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after announcing the U.S. would pull troops out of Syria. In the letter dated October 9, Trump told Erdogan: &#8220;Don&#8217;t be a tough guy. Don&#8217;t be a fool!&#8221;
&#8220;Let&#8217;s work out a good deal! You don&#8217;t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don&#8217;t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy — and I will,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don&#8217;t happen.&#8221;
So, Clinton&#8217;s attempt to be funny was actually pretty funny.
Except that she stole the gag from a recent episode of &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; Word for word.
See the clip below:

When you&#8217;re a high-profile person like Hillary, who has 25 million followers on Twitter, it behooves you to credit the source when you&#8217;re &#8220;borrowing&#8221; something. And Twitterers made sure Clinton got that message.
Jerry Dunleavy of the Washington Examiner pointed out that the letter had first appeared on Kimmel&#8217;s show, while the Washington Post&#8217;s Glenn Kessler wrote, &#8220;Sometimes silence is golden.&#8221;

&#8220;I do not get it anymore,&#8221; wrote another. &#8220;I give you every benefit of every doubt. I have defended you to others. But the time has come for the temper tantrum to end. Is this what you want to be remembered for? The one time a woman loses a presidential election and the tantrum never ends.&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s sad to see the woman millions of Americans hoped would one day be called &#8216;Madame President&#8217; become reduced to a self-loathing binge-drinking purveyor of fake news that spends her time spewing vitriol hate and outlandish paranoid conspiracy theories,&#8221; wrote another.

Clinton, who is still all over the airwaves nearly three years after her humiliating loss in the 2016 presidential election, has become increasingly delusional.
“It truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me,” she said last week on the PBS “News Hour.” “But this latest tweet is so typical of him. Nothing has been more examined and looked at than my emails. We all know that. So he’s either lying or delusional or both.”
Then she said, “Maybe there does need to be a rematch.&#8221;
“Obviously, I can beat him again. But, just seriously, I don’t understand, I don’t think anybody understands what motivates him other than personal grievance, other than seeking adulation.”

Hillary Clinton Steals Joke From Late-Night Show, Suffers Mockery On Social Media

On Monday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show,&#8221; Knowles attacks the Left for applying political correctness selectively. Video and partial transcript below:
It drives me crazy because about once a year there&#8217;s a movie from Hollywood that I actually want to go see. In the last few years, we had &#8220;A Quiet Place,&#8221; we had &#8220;Hail Caesar,&#8221; &#8220;Get Out&#8221; was kind of interesting, but those are the exceptions. Most of the movies were horrendous. So you finally see a movie that looks pretty good, and then it gets canceled.
This is the problem with cancel culture. This is the problem — which is 99.9 percent a Leftist problem, but occasionally conservatives get involved too — which is, we don&#8217;t like you, we&#8217;re going to shut you down, we&#8217;re going to shut you up, or we think we don&#8217;t like you, so we&#8217;re gonna shut you down and shut you out. Bad idea. Just let it out. It&#8217;s ok. They&#8217;ll make a movie. If Hollywood wants to make a bad stupid liberal movie, people aren&#8217;t going to go see it. Hollywood wants to make what seems like a fairly conservative movie. I bet people would have gone to go see it, but you don&#8217;t have to go see it if you don&#8217;t want to.
Now it&#8217;s not just this movie, it&#8217;s not just &#8220;The Hunt.&#8221; Unfortunately, this is a tough day. I&#8217;m having almost as bad a day as Jeffrey Epstein too because not only do I have to defend Hollywood, I have to defend Sarah Silverman, one of my least favorite comedians — if you can even call her a comedian. But she apparently, she was relating this on a podcast — Sarah Silverman apparently just got fired from a movie because, on her own unfunny TV show, she wore blackface one time. I don&#8217;t watch her show. I didn&#8217;t watch the episode. I don&#8217;t know the context of the blackface, but I assume she wasn&#8217;t wearing it to just make fun of black people. I don&#8217;t think she was going out there — I don&#8217;t know that she was singing Al Jolson songs or something. I assume she was doing it for a comedic point, to make some kind of point. And yet she was fired from a movie for it.
<div class="embed video fluid-video"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9fKWO7pNeds" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
So my question is: Has Jimmy Kimmel been fired yet from his show? Jimmy Kimmel wore blackface on &#8220;The Man Show.&#8221; Has Ted Danson been fired from his incredibly good and successful career in Hollywood yet? Ted Danson wore blackface one time to make a point. How about Robert Downey Jr? He wore blackface in that movie &#8220;Tropic Thunder.&#8221; How about Julianne Hough? I don&#8217;t even know who that is. But she is apparently a Hollywood person; she wore blackface. How about Fred Armisen from &#8220;Portlandia&#8221; and SNL? He wore blackface on &#8220;SNL.&#8221; How about Gigi Hadid? How about the Governor of Virginia Ralph Northam, who either wore blackface or a KKK hood? Probably the latter but he hasn&#8217;t copped to either of them — he was just on his medical school yearbook page.
Why are we firing one person for this when we&#8217;re not firing other people? Doesn&#8217;t make a lot of sense. Also are we really going to take away someone&#8217;s career because they wear blackface? I guess, if you&#8217;re gonna do that though, if that&#8217;s the new rule, then you&#8217;ve got to apply it to everyone. And are we going to take away the Wayans Brothers&#8217; careers because they were white face in that movie &#8220;White Girls&#8221; or &#8220;White Chicks.&#8221; Remember that movie was two black guys who put on white face and blonde wigs and they pretended to be white girls. So you&#8217;re allowed to do that but you&#8217;re not allowed to wear blackface? Or I guess you&#8217;re allowed to wear blackface — for virtually every liberal elite in Hollywood — except for Sarah Silverman. I hate defending Sarah Silverman, but I have to do it because it&#8217;s just not applied fairly. There&#8217;s no logic to this cancel culture. There&#8217;s no logic to these new speech codes. There&#8217;s no logic to political correctness. It isn&#8217;t a logical ideology. Political correctness is a cudgel — that&#8217;s all it is. It&#8217;s just a tool. It&#8217;s just a hammer used to smack down your opponents. Which is why it only happens to some people and not others.
You know Meghan Kelly, for goodness sakes, she was on that show and on NBC, and she suggested that wearing blackface isn&#8217;t the worst possible crime, especially let&#8217;s say if you go out and go as Diana Ross — let&#8217;s say for Halloween you darken your skin a little bit to look more like Diana Ross. Maybe that&#8217;s not the end of the world. Maybe you shouldn&#8217;t get fired for that. And she lost her show for that, even though other people on the same network have worn blackface multiple times but nothing happens to them. Now, why did they go after Meghan? Did they go after Meghan because of her comments about blackface? Absolutely not. They went after Meghan because they don&#8217;t like her politics — because they&#8217;re not exceedingly left-wing — and they went after her because they didn&#8217;t like her show. So they were looking for an excuse to get rid of her show, and they used that politically correct excuse as a way to do it. But it wasn&#8217;t about principles, it wasn&#8217;t about values, it wasn&#8217;t about logic. Nothing. And that is always the way political correctness is applied.
