Anyone who watched Larry Wilmore’s White Correspondents Dinner speech last month can understand why CNN might not have been thrilled with it. There were jokes questioning why Wolf Blitzer is still on the air, to a roasting of CNN’s status as a news network at all, and in particular, “alleged journalist” Don Lemon got a special and biting shout out.

See? In modern USA, where politics prevails, HUMOR GOES AWAY.
And THAT is why fewer and fewer comedians will do the college campus circuit:
With people who are not in control of their emotions, you cannot predict what will offend them.
All humor is critical —it always critiques SOMETHING.
And when politics will not brook ANY type of criticism, then there is NO MORE HUMOR.
Another “truth teller” ostracized!
All together now . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!
Typical thin-skinned Radicals. Wilmore’s WHCD schtick was hilarious, despite what all the “shocked” snowflakes were claiming...and he’s as far left as those he skewered. I commend the video to anyone interested, including when he says “Jigaboo” and “Nigga.”
Never bite the hand that feeds you.
I swear, that evil Communist crap swept right across the Atlantic at that time, like the "Jack the Ripper" entity in that old episode of Star Trek.
An American and a Soviet comedian were discussing the differences between their two countries:
The American comedian said, “In my country I can make fun of the American President.”
The Russian comedian retorted, “Me too. In my country, I can also make fun of the American President.”
Yes, the rare good Canadian export.
Why was there no outrage and meltdown when this guy called Obama “my ni**er”, when the word “ni**er” is supposed to be the most reprehensible word anyone can use???
Don Rickles would never make it today and that's a damn shame.
Don Rickles can be viewed on Youtube.
He still makes me laugh!
He’s great!
Oh Gee now the super funny man can’t say the n word on Cnn.
I’ve been listening to Jack Benny on XM 148 lately and he and his gang are still funny to me anyway.
Interesting thought; The Berlin wall was actually a dam.
I tried watching this Willborn guy maybe twice after Stewart left. Didn’t make it past about 10 minutes each time.
He is not funny to me. He must have videos of some comedy channel big bosses to have gotten the gig.
He was as bad at that WHCD shindig as Colbert was a couple of years ago. No laughs.
