Skip the video if you want to avoid the language but it reminds me of the 1976 "NETWORK" movie where the anchorman Howard Beale (Peter Finch) advocates viewers to open their windows and scream; "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" NOTE: This may be a put-up job as I can find no specific source for this. However, shorn of the bad language, I AGREE with the sentiment! Transcript in the comment section.
I LOVE this and wholeheartedly endorse it in its entirety - curses and all.
Use of “f***ing” as an adjective in almost every sentence displays extreme inarticulateness. Shouldn’t journalists be among the most articulate? (Of course I agree with his sentiments.)

It would be really interesting to see the uproar that would ensue if a Carlin-like comedian were to use the 7 words most likely to offend the Woke.
According to a multitude of comments from well-known comedians, there is no real comedy 'tour' running today. Even before COVID, there was / is ample evidence that comedy has no place in our fractious culture. The 'Late Night' TV Shows which used to groom such now devote their time to telling unfunny Trump 'jokes'. The evergreen college circuit is now a minefield not worth hazarding.
So if a Carlin-stature comedian were to try, he/she likely would so damage their career as to never even try. A sad sign of these times!
