NewsBusters Podcast: Late-Night Comics Shy Away from Mocking Kamala

Does anyone remember the good old days when Johnny Carson gently picked on both parties? It's nothing like that today.

Our latest NewsBusters study of all the jokes on late-night "comedy" shows this fall found that 98 percent of the jokes about presidential candidates were about Donald Trump, and only 2 percent about Kamala Harris.

The jokes were not gentle, like Trump The Fascist material. Or Jimmy Kimmel's wife (and head writer) Molly McNearney, telling him to “shut up and go away. Go to Mar-a-Lago, spend all day, every day, cheating at golf and masturbating to Newsmax, and let a competent woman take over.” Molly never got over Hillary losing.

Our late-night watcher Alex Christy explains just how this remarkable tilt by the "comedians" erupts night after night.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I haven't watched the late night shows in a long, long, long time.

I don't mind, and even enjoy, political satire as long as both sides are targeted.

Do you suppose East Germany GDR had late night comics.  They were just as funny as this lot, or so I imagine.
