A Viral but Overshadowed Roast
During CNN’s New Year’s Eve celebration, Whitney Cummings delivered a biting roast that put the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden in the spotlight. Her commentary on Biden’s perceived decline in health was explicit, as she highlighted issues that she believes are often downplayed by the corporate media. However, despite the viral nature of her remarks, significant media outlets either ignored or minimized their coverage of her critique.
“I always thought of myself as a pretty liberal person, but I don’t think the Left is as liberal as it used to be. It’s like the Left became the party of censorship.” Whitney Cummings.
On her podcast, Cummings talked about the media’s apparent bias, suggesting that it has intensified since Donald Trump’s rise in politics. This perceived bias has driven audiences to seek unfiltered news through alternative and social media outlets. Her involvement in the New Year’s Eve special led to comments cut from CNN’s highlight reel, echoing her concerns about censorship and bias.
A Viral but Overshadowed Roast
Cummings made headlines by choosing not to criticize former President Trump in her recent monologue. She described taking aim at Trump as unoriginal and lacking risk when performed on CNN, which she believes would only be pandering. This decision underlines her commitment to originality and speaks to a broader issue of predictable narratives within mainstream media that fail to challenge the status quo.
“Because that’s hacky to do. Everyone’s done that, and to do it on CNN, that’s just like, that’s home court advantage, cheap shot, hack – There’s nothing risky about that.” – Whitney Cummings.
Her willingness to voice these opinions is not without consequence, as evidenced by the backlash she has received. Yet Cummings remains resolute that these discussions are essential, ensuring a more balanced and honest discourse in a media landscape where specific stories are overshadowed. In support of this view, alternative and independent media play an increasingly significant role, filling in the gaps left by more prominent outlets.
