After the Going Clear documentary, it is now open season on Tom Cruise’s church. If a middle-of-the-road outfit like SNL is going after you then you know the jig is up. SNL only goes after low-hanging fruit like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian and the like. Scientology is now on the same level as a miscreant pop singer or a witless reality ditz? Wow.
It would have been unthinkable five years ago for SNL to go this hard after Scientology, but Scientology’s Hollywood members no longer possess sufficient collective clout to represent a bulwark against satiric criticism. Having Tom Cruise and John Travolta in the fold isn’t enough to keep the wolves at bay.
After Going Clear, Cruise is widely perceived as a pathetic narcissist and spineless David Miscavige butt-boy. Why should SNL care about pissing off Cruise? And why should they care about angering that creepy-uncle Travolta? Cruise and Travolta have both obviously been bullied and blackmailed into submission by the church and their thugs, right?
