As we pointed out, while hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend, host Woody Harrelson made a joke about the COVID-19 pandemic in his opening monologue.
Rolling Stone magazine, which used to be about music reviews and counter-culture, was absolutely mortified.
Take a look.
Here’s an excerpt from the Rolling Stone article, via Yahoo News:
Woody Harrelson Spreads Anti-Vax Conspiracies During SNL Monologue
Woody Harrelson has always harbored some, well, strange views.
The Oscar-nominated actor, who first won over audiences on Cheers, is a 9/11 truther who’s shared a number of conspiracy theories during the Covid pandemic. In April 2020, Harrelson posted a gonzo article tying the supposed “negative effects of 5G” to the spread of Covid, saying he found it “very interesting.” In a May 2022 interview with Vanity Fair, Harrelson said of mask-wearing during the pandemic, “As one who doesn’t believe in the germ theory, I find it rather absurd.”
And so, during his rambling SNL monologue Saturday night, an apparently under the influence Harrelson continued along these lines. After a winding story about smoking weed — shouting-out his pot shop in West Hollywood, The Woods, and claiming his manager, Jeremy, transported weed from the LA shop to New York for him — Harrelson went into a spiel about the pandemic.
Here’s Woody’s full monologue, in case you missed it. It’s actually kind of boring. The first five and a half minutes are dumb jokes about his pot-smoking habits. The COVID joke finally comes in the last minute.
Rolling Stone sure has a short memory.
This is a magazine that published a rape hoax story in 2014 that ruined people’s lives.
This is a magazine that put Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on their cover.
When did they start to think they are so morally superior?
And when did they become so pro-establishment?
Rolling Stone has been taken over by social justice warriors of the woke left. This is a real headline.
Doesn’t that say it all?
