Supercringe

Now that covid is supposedly staging a comeback, will we hear again from the late-night comedian asswipes who have all taken the Pfizer pledge?

Will Stephen Colbert dance around again with a bunch of covid syringes? Will super jerk-off Jimmy Kimmel keep badmouthing the unvaccinated? Will Jimmy Fallon try to interview Donald Trump once more, or just keep kowtowing to the leftist mob?

Normally we’d advice you to stay tuned, but your best bet is to turn off your TV sets and stop watching these late-night clowns. Here’s more from Paul Joseph Watson.

Power’s Court Jesters

The fusion of politics, news, and entertainment has given prominence to comics like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Bill Maher, who serve as attack dogs for the Democratic Party, which has joined forces with the establishment wing of the old Republican Party against Donald Trump and his supporters.

By belittling Trump and his followers, these comics feed the smug, self-righteousness of the ruling establishment, bolstering their sense of moral and intellectual superiority. All the while, they remain comfortably constrained by the corporations and advertisers that employ them.

They function as court jesters, never questioning the right of the rulers to rule or the terrible social injustices built into a rigged system. They serve as attack dogs for establishment power, directing their comedic barbs at critics of the system, even if these critics come from the left.

Comedian and political commentator Lee Camp joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the transformation of comedy from an art form rooted in the counterculture to one that has largely become a megaphone for power. Here’s more from The Real News Network.
