I sort of agree, but it wasn’t just “one article.” Every news outlet was reporting on what that “one article” said. It made it seem so true. Like go back on YouTube and search for “Hasan Minhaj” and you’ll see all these stories from a month ago blatantly parrot what the New Yorker said. So now that becomes a “corroborating story.” Then there’s another and another, and for 2 weeks straight all you see in the news is, “Hasan is a Fucking Liar.”
But the real damage from all of that is that there are these people that can’t change their view back to what it was. Like Hasan can never explain enough details about his personal life to ever come back into their good grace. Hopefully, people at TDS aren’t like that.
I don’t think any performer should owe their personal lives to the rest of us like this. The premise of the article was bull, and it sucks that Hasan has had to reveal what he is allowed to keep private.
I think media today is super untrustworthy. Most media outlets frenzy when they see blood in the water. I think average people need to wake up and not get swept into the feeding frenzy. This kind of thing is happening too often for us not to keep our eyes open. At the end of the day, they all want our money and attention, and don’t care about who they need to sacrifice to the public to get that.
Everyone that was dragging his name should be embarrassed. Y’all let one article warp your perspective so dramatically.
