American media is becoming trashier than ever. I've grown to accept the fact that the White House typically has a firm grip on what the major news giants can and cannot say about the political arena, but now it's getting a little absurd. If any of you have read Dubya's buddy and ex-Fox News pundit Matt Drudge's web site, www.drudgereport.com, you probably know what I'm talking about. Since the Grammys, the site has been plastered with mostly obscure editorial content about the recent political faux pas committed by comedian Chris Rock.
Apparently, Mr. Rock, whose monologues are based on the premise that people are inherently stupid, regardless of race, age, creed, or sexual orientation, crossed the line when he made a joke that "only gays watch the Oscars". Now, being less heterosexual than most, you would think that I could quite possibly be offended. But am I? Fuck no. He's a goddamned comedian, for Christ's sake. If people like Matt Drudge had even a clue, they would realize that the majority of things Chris Rock says are purposefully meant to the mock opinions of less educated people in our society, i.e. most Republicans. He's probably one of the least judgmental people in the business, anyway.
In actuality, the only reason Mr. Drudge has made such a big deal about this, even though no one else really gives a damn, is because he's still pissed that Chris Rock threatened to shove his foot up his ass after Drudge warned Rock not to poke fun at his pal Dubya.
What irks me most of all, though, is that Matt Drudge, who has publicly condoned this administration's anti-gay policies (even though, incidentally, he is a closeted fag himself), had the audacity to charge someone with discrimination! What a schmuck. And to top it off, I doubt you'll see any link on his website referring to the current news story about how one of the White House's top correspondents has just resigned because it was discovered that during his off days, when not promoting Dubya's marriage amendment, he has led a nifty little life as a gay male escort. But then again, I guess you can't put all the blame on him. I mean, even the reputable Fox News hasn't yet stumbled upon this elephant of a story. Ha.
At least if we were in China it wouldn't be a secret that our news is controlled.
