BROADCAST BIAS: Late-night comedy death spiral shows how leftist hate killed their humor

CBS limits Colbert to one more season as late-night comedy ratings sink. Fully 92% of political jokes bash conservatives in year where comedians mock Trump.

The most memorable moments from late-night comedians in 2025 were irredeemably nasty. Take Jon Stewart during his Mondays-only gig on "The Daily Show," mocking the free market in February. "Capitalism is by definition exploitative. It's how it operates. That's fine. But then government's role should be to ease the negative effects on Americans of that exploitation, not subsidize that treachery with our money. We are getting [bleeped] at a Diddy party and they're making us buy the baby oil!" 

That’s not as nasty as Stewart’s old underling John Oliver on HBO’s "Last Week Tonight" in March, disparaging former President Ronald Reagan. "I will admit there are positive things you can say about Reagan, like ‘He was our only president to make a movie with a chimp,’ or ‘He's dead.’ But his moral clarity might come as a surprise to any gay people who lived through the 1980s. I'm just saying, if you brought Reagan back from the dead and told him all the racist shit Trump's managed to do in less than two months, he'd cum so hard he'd die again."
