As if the moral decay in our society wasn’t bad enough, here we have a prime example of what’s wrong with mainstream media today. Instead of focusing on the real issues at hand, like the state of our nation or the integrity of our news outlets, they chose to promote drug use on live television. Diplo’s confession was not just a personal choice but a public endorsement of drug culture, right in the middle of what should have been a family-friendly celebration of the New Year.
The laughter from Cooper and Cohen was not only inappropriate but indicative of a broader cultural rot where anything goes, and accountability is thrown out the window. It's a disgrace that CNN, a supposed news network, would allow such a spectacle to unfold, turning a significant moment into a circus. It's about the media's role in normalizing behavior that undermines the very fabric of our society.
What kind of example does this set for the youth? Instead of promoting values like hard work, responsibility, and sobriety, we're broadcasting drug use as entertainment. CNN should be ashamed, and this incident only further proves why many have turned away from traditional media for more reliable, conservative sources that uphold family values and decency.
