Charlie Sheen sat down with Megyn Kelly this week to talk about something every American should understand. The mainstream media loves to kick people when they are down. They make millions off human misery while pretending to care about the victims.
Sheen opened up about his wild 2011 meltdown that got him fired from Two and a Half Men. Back then, every news outlet in America was making money off his pain. They turned his personal struggles into entertainment for the masses.
Kelly and Sheen discussed how the media machine works. When celebrities or public figures are hurting, reporters circle like vultures. They do not want to help these people get better because that would end the story.
The actor talked about the enablers around him during his darkest days. These people were supposed to protect him but instead fed him to the media wolves. They cared more about their paychecks than his wellbeing.
This is not just about Hollywood stars. The same thing happens to regular Americans every day. Local news stations love to embarrass families going through tough times. Social media makes it even worse by letting everyone pile on.
Sheen has written a book called The Book of Sheen about his experiences. He wants people to understand how the system really works. The media does not care about truth or helping people heal.
Americans need to stop feeding this beast. We should not click on gossip stories or watch shows that exploit human suffering. Every view and click tells these outlets to keep destroying lives for profit.
Real journalists like Megyn Kelly are trying to have honest conversations about these problems. We need more voices willing to call out the media mob. Until then, they will keep ruining people for entertainment and money.
