Christian Toto "South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone won't tar Trump in the show's upcoming season. That made the media very, very angry.
Cartman, Kyle and Kenny, meet Jimmy Fallon.
"The Tonight Show host once treated Donald Trump like a guest on his late night program. Because … that’s what the reality show host was.
"That sent reporters into a tizzy. How dare you normalize Trump, they cried. For weeks the press pounded Fallon for not just that indecency but for the dearth of Trump jokes in his monologues.
"Which is precisely what you see on the majority of late night comedy shows.
"Now, the press is training its guns on Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The duo behind Comedy Central’s long-running South Park incorporated plenty of Trump material in their most recent season.
"That’s partly why they decided to try something different for season 21, coming next month.
"Everyone else is unleashing Trump jokes, Parker and Stone argued. And the President himself is often so over the top it makes satire knottier. So the next batch of South Park episodes will mostly avoid Trump-related humor.
"You might as well whisper, “release the hounds” to the press.

"The Daily Beast attacked first, questioning Parker and Stone for not joining the Trump lynch mob." . . .
Even though this is mostly well-bleeped, language advisory is in order anyway:
