Both TheWrap.com and USA Today reported on a viral TikTok video mashup of Stern’s crude interviews with beautiful women.

Now a new generation is unearthing Stern’s off-handedly sexual schtick, and they’re not happy about it. …

Last week, Stern indirectly criticized the Left for saying CNN shouldn’t have given Trump a national platform during its May 9 town hall-style appearance.

“Everyone had their t*** in a twist over Trump being on there, and the audience was like laughing and, you know, cheering him on, and a lot of people got upset about it,” Stern said. “I don’t know, I thought it was f***ing — really f***ing interesting and entertaining. I’m pretty sure anybody who didn’t like Trump hated him even more after that.”

Stern summoned the spirit of his old, free speech-friendly self and defended CNN for doing its job. (You can hear that clip on HiT podcast no. 167)

Did that coax media outlets to promote the “resurfaced” clip mashup and pressure Stern for bits he performed so long ago?

[Is that a coincidence? Christian at least allows for the possibility, but color me skeptical. Stern got away with his schtick for decades by allying himself with the Left; I think he’s about to find out just how much fealty is required for his cancel-culture pass. At any rate, I don’t think Stern is easily cancelable from his platform. — Ed]
