THE MEDIA’S DOUBLE STANDARD: HOWARD STERN V.S. RUSSELL BRAND
Howard Stern and Russell Brand both have promiscuous and controversial pasts, but the media's treatment of them is strikingly DIFFERENT.
Is this due to their political affiliations?
HOWARD STERN’S PAST:
Howard Stern, the "King of All Media," has a long history of controversial statements and shock-jock antics.
For example, he made inappropriate comments about the Olsen twins when they were underage.
“Now, normally I don't look at a 13-year-old and sexualize them, I don't, but these two are pieces of ass. They've grown up so perfect."
This is just one of MANY examples of Stern's creepy comments about the underage twins.
Despite such comments, Stern has largely avoided cancel culture, possibly due to his recent shift towards more mainstream viewpoints.
He has shared that he is pro-vaccine, anti-trump, supports transgender people, and even mainstream media.
He got his politics in order, avoiding getting persecuted or cancelled!
Last week, amidst Brand's allegation, Stern re-affirmed his woke stance, proclaiming:
"I am woke, motherfucker, and I love it. I want to be awake. I want to read legitimate news sources. Here's how woke I am. I believe the election was not rigged. I am woke. I think that's a compliment."
It's funny how he slipped in his love for the media. The same people who could destroy his career if they wanted to, and he knows it.
RUSSELL BRAND’S TRANSFORMATION:
On the other hand, Brand has evolved from a promiscuous comedian to an anti-establishment commentator. Unlike Stern, Brand has been under media scrutiny, with allegations leading to his de-platforming from YouTube, BBC, and Paramount Plus.
THE MEDIA’S SELECTIVE PROSECUTION:
The media's selective treatment of these two figures is evidence of a double standard.
Stern's past, including his inappropriate and insensitive comments, is often overlooked—perhaps because he aligns with liberal viewpoints. Brand, however, is "hunted" for his past and current anti-establishment stance.
This should raise a red flag for you about mainstream media's bias.
For the media, you either play by their rules, or they will come after you.
Do you disagree?
Would the media have gone after Russell Brand if he didn't become anti-establishment and anti-mainstream media?
