Calling Out Bill Cosby’s Media Enablers, Including Myself

For decades, entertainers have been able to maintain custody of their image, regardless of their conduct. Many had entire crews of dust busters who came behind them and cleaned up their messes.

Those days are history. It doesn’t really matter now what the courts or the press do or decide. When enough evidence and pushback rears into view, a new apparatus takes over, one that is viral, relentless and not going to forgive or forget.

Biographer Mark Whitaker did not find room in his 500-page biography, “Cosby: His Life and Times,” to address the accusations that Mr. Cosby had assaulted numerous women

By this point in his career, Cosby was surrounded by ferocious lawyers and stalwart enablers and he felt it was beneath him to submit to the queries of mere mortals.

Whoopi Goldberg Goes Bonkers on Bill Cosby Critics: ‘I’m Sick of This Bull’ (Video)

“Not any of you threatening me or telling me you’re coming after me because you don’t like what I said is going to change the fact that no one has convicted him,” ‘The View’ co-host says

Whoopi Goldberg went off on “The View” Wednesday over backlash she has received for her comments on the rape scandal surrounding Bill Cosby.

Acquired situational narcissism

Acquired situational narcissism (ASN) is a form of narcissism that develops in late adolescence or adulthood, brought on by wealth, fame and the other trappings of celebrity. It was coined by Robert B. Millman, professor of psychiatry at the Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University.

ASN differs from conventional narcissism in that it develops after childhood and is triggered and supported by the celebrity-obsessed society.

Jill Soloway, the creator of Amazon’s transgender-themed original drama Transparent, wants to change the way stories are told in TV and film by ridding the industry of its so-called “male privilege.”

The award-winning writer and director condemned nepotism within the industry and praised the American Civil Liberties Union.

Even rappers are trashing the shallow narcissists of media ...

as basketball star and ex Kardashian hubby Lamar Odom is near death.


Lamar Odom turned into yet another Kardashian publicity opportunity; a downfall that, in no small part was Kardashian-inspired?

The media is a giant vulture feeding on the carnage of the once great to the profit of the talentless famous.


And a vulture’s carrion doesn’t get tastier than the leavings of a great athlete, estranged from a reality star, overdosed in a whorehouse owned by another reality star.

in a move so shamelessly ironic that it should have even been below the bottom-feeding Kardashians, Khloé’s publicist issued a statement saying that brothel owner Dennis Hof was basically a shameless publicity whore.

The "Django Unchained" actress who claimed she was harassed and hurt by cops after making out with her boyfriend was actually having sex in her car according to witnesses ... then went on a rant with cops accusing them of racism and not knowing who she was ... according to police audio obtained by TMZ.

TMZ obtained police audio of the incident. Watts instantly plays the race card when Sgt. Jim Parker asked for her ID. She quickly moves from the race card to the fame card -- then storms off, refusing to show her ID.

The LAPD sergeant who detained Django Unchained actress Daniele Watts and her boyfriend for lewd behavior last year has been accused of violating city ethics rules, and now faces a steep fine for leaking audio of the incident to the media.

He probably made the right decision, despite the static. Getting branded as a racist cop in 2015 basically means the mark of Cain is upon you....

Roof caves in on cop-hater Tarantino:

1,000 Police organizations join ‘Hateful Eight’ boycott


The chickens have come home to roost for director Quentin Tarantino as the National Association of Police Organizations announces that it, and the 1,000 police units and associations it represents, will join the boycott against his film “The Hateful Eight.”

In a cynical attempt to boost his standing with the left-wing black media, the sheltered, out-of-touch Tarantino joined a Black Lives Matter-affiliated anti-cop hate rally and called police officers “murderers.”
