The Center for Media Research looked at late-night political entertainment in 2023 and found that 81 percent of jokes were made at the expense of conservatives.
This is no surprise to anyone who spent two minutes watching Colbert's show. He cannot say more than two or three sentences without mentioning Trump.
The reason for this is simple. These late night hosts are not creative and they are cowards. Conservatives are the only safe target they know they can mock without getting into trouble with the left, which they fear.
Fox News reports:
The IEA found that 81% of all late-night political jokes in 2023 targeted conservatives.
A new study by the Media Research Center found that 81% of all political jokes told on major late-night comedy shows in 2023 targeted conservatives.
The media watchdog analyzed each of 9,518 political jokes told between six major daily late-night programs from January 3 until December 22, 2023, and found that 7,729 of them targeted “someone or something on the right side of the political spectrum.” “
The shows analyzed are “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on ABC, “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on NBC, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC, and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on CBS and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on NBC. “The Late Late Show with James Corden” (until its cancellation in April).
MRC also compiled a video of some of the “Worst Late Night Moments of the Year” to showcase several examples of late-night comedy's bias against conservatives.
Analyzing the data further, the watchdog found that some shows were more aggressive towards right-wing themes than others. Kimmel's show had the highest rate of anti-conservative jokes at one out of six.
This is one of the reasons for Greg Gutfeld's success. It is the only alternative. The only host willing to mock Biden and the Democrats.
The rest of the night is so predictable, it's boring.
