“Last season, it abandoned that approach and went hard against all things Trump. Like many modern Trump gags, the jokes were obvious and rarely funny. In doing so, ‘South Park' earned the legacy media's newfound admiration. Suddenly, every new episode got ‘breaking news’ treatment,”

Toto argued that the show historically targeted both sides of the political aisle but shifted to focusing heavily on Trump in recent seasons.

“The first new ‘South Park’ episode of the season mostly avoided politics. We'll see if that continues. Will be interesting to see if the ensuing Trump jokes are funny or more ‘clapter,’ and if creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone return to hitting both sides of the aisle again. It's not as if they lack material on that end. James Talarico alone is worth a half dozen shows,”

“The Hollywood Reporter eggs on Robert De Niro, sans fact checking, because it agrees with most of what he says. The outlet understands the actor's lack of information on key political subjects, too, but it cheers him on because he's anti-Trump and anti-GOP,”

Toto responded to De Niro's interview with The Hollywood Reporter about Mayor Mamdani.

“Meanwhile, the actor hasn't a clue about the mayor's past comments, his toxic associations or why his 'defund the police' beliefs are so damaging. He's a Useful Idiot for the Left, and The Hollywood Reporter is all too happy to magnify his idiocy,”

Toto criticized De Niro's lack of knowledge about the mayor's past comments and associations.

“Victimhood is the coin of the realm in Hollywood. 'I wasn't paid what I was worth.' 'The director treated me badly, but I didn't speak out for a good 20-odd years.' Blige's comments strike a very different, and refreshing tone.”

Christian Toto reacted to Mary J. Blige's comments on personal responsibility.

“The pressure. The competition. The forces well beyond your control. It only makes sense that some artists turn to their faith to light their way and take responsibility for their careers.”

Christian Toto commented on why artists turn to faith and take control of their careers.

“It's smart. And while it's not 'cool' or 'hip' to admit as much in Hollywood, Blige is wise enough to understand the truth is the truth. And she's happy to share it. Here's betting other struggling stars should consider her advice,”
