What would Christopher Hitchens say about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and the weaponization of Charlie Kirk’s death? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens’ razor wit and moral clarity are unleashed on the hypocrisy of those who cry “cancel culture” while wielding state power to silence comedians.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dismantles the sanctimonious posturing of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and his regulatory threats, exposes the corporate cowardice of Disney, ABC, and Sinclair as they capitulated to political intimidation, and reveals the authoritarian impulses lurking beneath rhetoric of freedom. He skewers the selective outrage of a movement that celebrates “owning the libs” but suddenly discovers civility when convenient.
Join us as we explore how Hitchens’ fearless defense of free expression might confront this dangerous precedent where government bureaucrats and corporate boards determine the boundaries of acceptable satire.
