Ellen DeGeneres’ Kevin Hart ‘Interview’ Is Artificial Talk-Show Culture At Its Worst
“Ellen” should be an ideal place to
engage in cultural discourse, but the influential host proved we have no
arena for litigating issues as serious as homophobia.

My Comment: Matthew Jacobs is an excellent writer for Huffington Post As one who
always has loved Ellen and thanked her in my mind's eye for her
seemingly honest notoriety and for, as the queen of nice, giving
hundreds of thousands even millions of gay people a new found respect
for themselves. The press revelations now that she has received a
tearing down of her image giving us a look at the woman behind the
alleged illusory curtain makes me sad. It makes me sad because this
culture has received another body blow and I do not know how many wounds
one nation can stand. What is one to believe?
I go to Huffington many times throughout the day hoping it gives
me the truth about the news of the day. I think it does but what am I
to believe about Ellen now just another millionaire star who has
seemingly fallen from grace. I wish she would answer truly answer for
all the bad press she has been receiving and tell us what we want to
know. Is it true what they are saying about her and if so why has she
not been honest with us, her once adoring fans?
I am sad because nothing is what it has always seemed to me to be
leaving me to find my own truth whether it's about the essence of my
once beloved country or whether it's about a gay comedienne who gave me
hope that people, as Ann Frank said, are basically good at heart as
Ellen always seemed to me to be. I say to Ellen face the music and tell
me if it is true and if so how we all can learn to dance again.
