Late-night talk shows are a monotonous abyss of angry left-wing trolls spouting inane “jokes” that alienate half the nation.
According to a new study by the Center for Media Research, 81% of political jokes told on major late-night talk shows in 2023 targeted conservatives.
“For all of 2023, late-night comedians told a total of 9,518 political jokes, of which 7,729, or 81 percent, were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political spectrum,” the conservative media watchdog found.
MRC analyzed all six major daily late-night shows from January 3 through December 22:
• “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC.
• “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on CBS.
• “The Late, Late Show with James Corden” on CBS until its cancellation in April.
• Comedy Central's “The Daily Show.”
• “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on NBC.
• “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC.
The host most aggressive to conservatives was Kimmel.
“Jimmy Kimmel is the most spiritual and the most partisan of the sextet analyzed, with 2,215 jokes in 2023, of which 1,960, or 88 percent, were directed at right-leaning targets,” the Media Research Center said.
“In the top ten, there were nine right-wingers and one left-winger: Donald Trump (762), Jorge Santos (276), Joe Biden (164), Mike Lindell (106), Mike Pence (72), Republicans (62), and Donald Trump Jr. (58), Tucker Carlson (53), Marjorie Taylor Greene (47), and Ted Cruz (38).
It was similarly perverted for Myers. Of the 2,445 political jokes he told last year, 84% targeted conservatives, most of which were directed at former President Trump.
Likewise, Colbert told a total of 1,918 political jokes in 2023, of which 86 percent were anti-conservative.

Oddly enough, Trump's adult children were ridiculed more than 9-1 compared to President Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
This is surprising when you consider that Hunter's drug-addled, prostitute-filled misadventures are practically jokes that write themselves.

Years ago, comedians were irreverent and brash. They fearlessly targeted anyone worthy of ridicule, regardless of political affiliation.
These days, most comedians – and even most artists and public figures – relentlessly mock conservatives while leaving liberals alone.
There's nothing brave about doing the same repetitive wisecracks to the detriment of fellow Americans who the media-industrial complex has deemed despicable.
It is a cowardly herd mentality that speaks more about the pranksters than their targets.
