Vanity Fair Goes Full Neurotic Overanalyzing if South Park Is Sufficiently Anti-Trump

[pjcomix]

Almost everybody would agree that the first South Park episode of the current season slammed President Donald Trump. However, that was not enough for Vanity Fair's Hollywood Correspondent, David Canfield. Displaying steroid levels of insecurity, he just has to know if the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are really really anti-Trump.

You can see Canfield's desperate insecurity in his story on Wednesday, "South Park Has Been Pissing Viewers Off for Decades. Then It Came for Trump," which led off with this subtitle: "The show has a history of controversy and provocation—but it’s still virtually impossible to know where Trey Parker and Matt Stone really stand."

That was the first clue that Canfield just had to find out for sure if Parker and Stone were as satisfyingly anti-Trump as himself. Therefore he leaps into a highly neurotic microanalysis of just what are the politics of the show's creators.

Canfield is an idiot who probably doesn't understand why Colbert got cancelled.  Why should I, as a conservative, get upset if Southpark lampoons Trump and Noem?  They should be going after both sides, we've been saying that about comedy from the start!

Geesh!

I understand the left are really freaking out because conservatives lampooned by "South Park," e.g., Charlie Kirk, aren't the slightest bit upset about it. In fact, they think it's funny. I guess conservatives just aren't big babies like leftists.

We understand the essence of "comedy," liberals do not.
