Times Have Changed For Entertainers

If you've read any article about creative rights of an artist pre-2000 you'd see that most storytellers back then were painfully suspicious of the political correctness movement. Yes, folks...that would be Hollywood attempting to fight back on PC culture. In nearly 20 years, the Left have spun it so far Left, they're actually Right and they have no clue they are.
It dawned on me when The Tonight Show pulled Norm MacDonald (my favorite comedian) because of some comments he made in support of Roseanne Barr or Louis CK. That is awful power, the Liberal 90's fought...AGAINST. A comedian says edgy things. They put a spotlight on the terrible things of society, but do it so we laugh without knowing. Anger fuels comedy. Unfortunately, what happened to the Leftist sense of humor got bought by corporations. And TRUE Left should be outraged. Should be angry that 8 years with a United States President beat it out of you that you aren't suppose to laugh at the expense of a few. That you can't tell jokes through your own tears. Congratulations you've won the corporate war. You've conformed to make everyone happy. Don't you realize, you are now part of the establishment you wanted to upend? Now many will probably believe Trump is the establishment. That only makes sense IF you believe him to be intelligent enough to be so. Which you don't. So that is the fallacy.
In my day, we would be hearing jokes about the murder rate in Chicago? Nope. People would be so outraged, they'd protest and shut you down. Or about the new Supreme Court judge. No one touches parody anymore. "Mad" magazine was brilliant at it. Now everyone is too scared, because their livelihood can be destroyed by those who are offended (on both sides).
The point is, as Americans, we stopped laughing about one another in spite of one another. And these suppose "brave" late night hosts who blast the Man In The Oval Office...yeah, try blasting the leadership of Detroit. They don't have the balls to do that. Or the failed government/country of Venezuela. Jesus what a well of jokes to be mined. Too bad talk shows are too full of their own self-righteousness about Trump they stopped seeing humor in how socialism destroyed a country (trust me, Norm could do it).
Now comedians are afraid. They're cowards, because jokes about Trump are people nodding their heads. Too easy. But really being against the grain in your world, we'll see if you really have the courage (doubt it).
