Late-night discuss exhibits are a monotonous abyss of offended left-wing trolls who spew lame “jokes” that alienate half the nation.
In response to a brand new examine by the Media Research Center, a whopping 81 p.c of political jokes instructed on main late-night discuss exhibits in 2023 focused conservatives.
“Throughout all of 2023, the late-night comedians told a total of 9,518 political jokes, and of these 7,729 or 81 percent were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political spectrum,” the conservative media watchdog discovered.
MRC analyzed all six of the most important day by day late-night exhibits from Jan. 3 via Dec. 22:
• ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
• CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
• CBS’ “The Late, Late Show with James Corden” till its April cancellation.
• Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
• NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
• NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Probably the most aggressively anti-conservative host was Kimmel.
“Jimmy Kimmel is the most mean-spirited and most partisan of the analyzed sextet, with 2,215 jokes in 2023, and of these 1,960, or 88 percent, were directed at right-leaning targets,” the Media Analysis Middle stated.
“In his top ten, there were nine right-leaners and one left-leaner: Donald Trump (762), George Santos (276), Joe Biden (164), Mike Lindell (106), Mike Pence (72), Republicans (62), Donald Trump Jr. (58), Tucker Carlson (53), Marjorie Taylor Greene (47), and Ted Cruz (38),” the examine discovered.
It was equally skewed for Meyers. Of the two,445 political jokes he instructed final yr, 84 p.c focused conservatives, with most jabs directed at former President Trump.
Alongside the identical vein, Colbert instructed a complete of 1,918 political jokes in 2023, of which 86 p.c had been anti-conservative.

One oddity is that Trump’s grownup kids had been mocked at a ratio of greater than 9-1 over President Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
That is astonishing when you think about that Hunter’s drug-fueled, prostitute-filled misadventures are jokes that virtually write themselves.

Years in the past, comedians had been irreverent and daring. They fearlessly focused anybody who deserved to be scoffed at no matter political affiliation.
Nowadays, most comedians — certainly, most entertainers and public figures — relentlessly deride conservatives whereas leaving liberals untouched.
There’s nothing courageous about making the identical, repetitive wisecracks that punch down on fellow People whom the industrial media complex has deemed contemptible.
It’s a cowardly herd mentality that claims extra concerning the jokesters than about their targets.
