Yesterday, over 550,000 people read my post exposing the carefully managed PR statements hiding the David Walliams scandal. Today, the cowardice of the British media establishment has reached an entirely new level.
Jonathan Ross just released a public statement claiming he is horrified by the allegations against Walliams and the crimes of Russell Brand.
He actually expects the public to believe he spent two decades sharing green rooms and VIP parties with these men while remaining completely blind to their behavior.
Look at the exact historical record they are trying to erase right now.
In 2004, Ross stood on a live stage at the British Comedy Awards and explicitly joked that the 15-year-old award was drunk and probably going home with David Walliams.
There is literally a photograph from 2003 showing Ross and other elite broadcasters smiling for the camera while Walliams sits right next to them with his arm draped around a teenager he is now accused of pursuing.
You do not broadcast jokes about 15-year-olds going home with a television star to millions of viewers unless the entire industry already knows exactly what the punchline means.
The British entertainment industry operated as a closed protection racket for twenty years. They turned predatory behavior into profitable television ratings and laughed off the abuse as cheeky celebrity banter.
These presenters are not releasing statements today because they are shocked by what Walliams and Brand actually did. They are releasing them because the expensive legal injunctions are finally failing, and they are terrified the public is coming for the enablers next.
Sigue siendo el mejor vídeo de todos los tiempos.

Reading news archives about Israel in its early years is quite fascinating.
Because the Qataris didn't have oil yet, so the Palestinian indoctrination machine didn't exist.
So you could see this:
This historical picture seems particularly relevant today. It's the wedding in July 1958 of Alan Clark, 30, to Jane, 16, who had 'noticed' her when she was 14.
Did Russell Brand take every single conversation in one direction, no matter who he was talking to and how innocent it was?
Here he is with Richard Madeley, who’d only just got home. Brand asks what Judy’s doing. David Baddiel sees it coming a mile off and says: “Russell’s gonna ask what Judy’s wearing any second, I can see it.”
Madeley won’t go there. He says he can’t really answer because he’s only just walked in, then adds that he thinks she’s watching The Simpsons in bed. Ordinary, friendly small talk.
Then Brand does Brand:
“I know for a fact that The Simpsons is a euphemism in their household… for erotic, mixed race pornography! She’s watching Bro’s & Ho’s! That’s Judy’s favourite website!”
Baddiel is pissing himself. Madeley doesn’t really say anything. I’m sure he laughed it off, he’s always been a pretty good sport, tbf. But it’s another clear window into where Brand’s mind ALWAYS went. Non-stop, very public, and completely unprompted.
One of the best solutions to this problem was genuinely The X Factor and similar shows. All of Girls Aloud, One Direction, Little Mix, JLS, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke & Olly Murs all just came from ordinary backgrounds. That foot in the door is now lost.
