Comedian Dave Chappelle served up a powerful and, frankly, not terribly comedic performance in “8:46,” a meditation on the world in the wake of the death of George Floyd. CNSNews.com managing editor Michael W. Chapman completely ignored Chappelle’s message to devote an entire June 12 blog post — in which he puts “comedian’ in scare quotes to describe Chappelle — to raging that he insulted a prized Fox News host:
In his new Netflix special “8:46,” where he talks about the killing of George Floyd, comedian Dave Chappelle takes time to criticize conservative author and TV host Laura Ingraham for daring to mock LeBron James’s leftist political views and emphatically labels her a “c**t.”
“LeBron James once said something about racism and Laura Ingraham, which I will say publicly anywhere, anytime, is a c**t,” said Chapelle. “Tell them I said it.”
She “told one of Ohio’s greatest residents ever, ‘shut up and dribble,'” he added.
[…]“My friend is the best at something, and this bitch is not the best at anything,” he said. “She’s a regular ass white bitch with a platform. And I use the word bitch all the time because it’s black.”
Chapman then went on to attack James for having “criticized pro-democracy comments about Hong Kong by Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey,” sneering, “There is a huge market for the NBA in Communist China and James apparently does not want to rock the financial boat.” Chapman went on to cite criticism of James by “Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong,” then laughably equated Ingraham to him: “We’ll have to wait and see what Chappelle decides to call Joshua Wong.”
It seems as if Chapman only cares about what’s happening in China and Hong Kong if it can be used to own the libs.
Oh, and Chapman couldn’t be bothered to remark on anything else Chappelle said during his special. It’s as if an important CNS agenda item is defending Fox News hosts and not, you know, reporting the news.
