While processing Chris Rock's "Selective Outrage," do not overlook what's really being sold here: the continuation of a fight between two very rich men.
One of them, Will Smith, has spent the last year apologizing to his fans and polishing his image both on social media and on television. The other, Rock, is profiting off extending the feud by way of this special, the second in his $40 million obligation to Netflix that he scored in 2016. Placing beef on a menu guarantees people will show up, knives out.
