Here is an essay written by & commented on people who don't follow Howard Stern. Because if they did they'd realize he goofs on the ultra-wealthy of all races, sexes & creeds. That's part of his schtick. He presents himself as the everyman, small dick, couldn't get a date in high school, works paycheck-to-paycheck, fretting over his elderly folks ... just like you & me.

Sometimes the faux humility can get just as irritating as ostentation. Last year he went off on former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, talking about all of the things he do if he "that kind of money".

"Dude," I wanted to yell into the speaker, "What are you going on about? You do have that kind of money!"

It's telling that this Medium article is illustrated by a 30 year old photo Stern did in support of Ted Danson's blackface gaff when he dated Whoopi Goldberg. Also telling is that the photo & attendant segment were made public by Donald Trump, Jr in response to Stern's constant criticism of Trump, Sr (they used to be friends, but Trump stopped speaking to Stern after the latter declined to support his presidential bid).

Stern doesn't single out Oprah or any black magnate or celebrity. But how would you know that if you don't follow his show, at least to a degree? This creates a kind of confirmation bias that leaves a white public figure like Stern unable to speak about Oprah, or a Kanye, or a Herschel Walker because only then do the woke police become aware & comment. And responding with "Hey, I also do Elon Musk, or Donald Trump, or Rupert Murdoch!" that's no kind of defense.

Stern follows Oprah on social media & often speaks other admiringly. His dream is to interview her on his show. He's never expressed anything but admiration for how far Oprah has come from the most challenging of circumstances. Which people would know if they actually listened.
