No One Watches Are on Their Way Out

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 8/18/2024 9:06:09 PM

Over the last decade, late night shows (with the single exception of Greg Gutfeld) have become nothing more than infomercials for the Democrat party. It has gotten to the point where almost the only guests on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert are Democrat politicians and hosts from CNN or MSNBC. Millions of Americans have been turned off and have tuned out. As a result, many of these shows are going to be phased out eventually. The New York Post reports: The end is nigh for snoozefest late-night talk shows In an interview this week, Jimmy Kimmel conceded that the end is nigh for late-night talk shows.

Watched Paar, Carson, Letterman, Leno, and several of the others. Stopped when it was just a format for bashing the political right.

I stopped watching the late-night shows when Johnny Carson retired from the Tonight Show. I did catch some of Leno's shows, but lost interest with his format. The political satire got really old with Leno's show.

I've always had to get up early in the morning, so I rarely watched late night talk shows. The few clips I saw of Johnny Carson were hilarious. I didn't see much of Jay Leno. I saw more of him on _Home Improvement_ than on late night TV. I also watched a bit of Letterman, until he got mean, then stopped.

All anyone wanted to do at the end of a long day was chill out and laugh after a very hard day's work. The privileged late night liberal elitist ruined an American institution by lying to our face that we were fools for wanting a future that was rewarded for hard work and a love for our country.

Gutfeld is unapologetically to the right, so the problem is clearly the leftism of the dying late night shows. They think they're cool, but they're obviously not. Hopefully, it won't take ten years for them to phase out. May they be yanked and that right so quickly.

Much like the previous comments, I watched Johnny Carson and then Leno, Conan O'Brian and occasionally Letterman. After they retired, I quit and never went back. I have better things to do with my time than sit in my own living room and have my politics, religious beliefs and, frankly, my intelligence insulted on a nightly basis by a bunch of morons whose collective intelligence couldn't best a classroom of 2nd graders!!

"These new late night hosts are excluding more than half of the country" They are not just excluding us, they are alienating us. WE are the targets of their biased jokes and infantile, echo chamber interviews. They feel safe because they don't have direct accountability to us. As long as the network bosses and the corporate sponsors are OK with them, they are safe. However, corporations are noting that half of the audience for their products are not watching. We are not "reading their stuff". That translates into sales and $$$ lost, just like the Legacy Media are losing audience and bleeding money. Corporations may be reaching us through other venues so the damage is moderated but eventually the shrinking "late night" audience will kill those shows. This process has been repeated for a LONG time. Liberal efforts on radio and TV, mostly are failures. Why? Because they are shrill and preachy, like "The View". Even if you are of like mind, listening to Joy and Whoopy becomes quickly painful.

I watch the late-night shows from years ago on You Tube. Beats the hell out of the nonsense that they put on now, and the fact that Gutfeld is beating them just shows how awful they have become. Even Gutfeld isn't all that entertaining most of the time.

I remember as a kid waking up late at night and catching my dad coming home from the nightshift watching Johnny Carson cracking up because of Rodney Dangerfield's jokes. Then me coming off of a late-night security watch at my first Naval duty station and seeing Carson on tv. Instead of "hitting the rack" I stayed up to watch his show. After he retired, I watched Leno, Letterman and O'Brien then when they retired or moved on that was it. Now the latest crop of late-night weeds are all in politically. Especially dolts Kimmel and Colbert. The latter coming in live at the DNC gag-fest with Hillary Clinton aka the PIAPS as his first guest. The only reason why I know that is because my kids like that dumb show Big Brother. I read that insufferable clod James Corden retired and the Kimmel and company need to be gone sooner rather than later.

Forget about all the smog that corporate media is belching. Kamala Harris is still a ditz. Her sidekick, Tim Walz, is a progressive Minnesota Fats. He’s all about the hustle. He’s a guy who stole valor thinking he could trade it for a beer. The Kamala that we’ve come to know is being memory-holed -- or so our hubristic betters hope. For them, like The Fly, something new is aborning. Spinning sellable narratives depends first on the old Kamala disappearing. Corporate media’s pollsters are hired to massage numbers as needed.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, says their campaign is considering joining forces with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump. In an interview with Tom Bilyeu on his show, Impact Theory, Shanahan revealed that she trusts “the future” of the United States under the leadership of people such as Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). When questioned about rumors that Kennedy was in talks with either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign about a “potential endorsement” in exchange for a position in their cabinets, Shanahan said they were “definitely not in talks with Harris”
New York’s high court rules voting early

New York’s top court affirmed Tuesday that a measure expanding access to absentee voting in the state is constitutional, rejecting a lawsuit led by House GOP Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.). The New York Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 that New York’s Early Mail Voter Act, which allows registered voters to submit ballots early by mail in any election where they are eligible to vote, can stand. The measure was signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) last year. “Our task is to rigorously analyze the constitutional text and history to determine if New York’s Early Mail Voter Act is unconstitutional,” Chief Judge Rowan Wilson wrote
Pro-Israel Group, Denied Permit to March,

CHICAGO, Illinois — A pro-Israel group that was denied a permit to march during the Democratic National Convention gathered in a makeshift “Hostage Square” in the West Loop on Tuesday to make their voices heard. The original “Hostage Square” is front of an art museum in Tel Aviv, Israel, and was given that name after it became a gathering place for the families of kidnapped and missing Israelis in the wake of the Hamas terror attack of October 7. Like its namesake in Israel, the “Hostage Square” in Chicago features art installations that draw attention to the victims of Hamas — in particular, to U.S. citizens who were murdered or taken hostage.
Report: DNC Speakers Mention ‘Trump’

Posted by Imright 8/20/2024 1:54:41 PM Post Reply
Speakers at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday in Chicago, Illinois, reportedly mentioned the word “Trump” 130 more times than three of the top 2024 issues combined: “crime,” “inflation,” and “border.” The Harris campaign avoids the issues because it is caught in a so-called “catch-22.” Speaking about policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security would undermine the Biden-Harris administration’s claim of having solved those issues. However, Democrats must tout the administration’s policy successes to validate presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s record and candidacy.

Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was spotted wandering through merch stalls less than two hours before he wounded the ex-president. Crooks grazed Trump in the right ear as he spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, and killed supporter Corey Comperatore in the crowd. Trump was shot at 6:11 pm by the first of eight bullets Crooks fired from the roof of a nearby building until he was gunned down by a Secret Service counter-sniper. A salesman for Iron Clad USA inadvertently filmed Crooks casually strolling past his booth outside the rally at 4:26 pm - the earliest known recording of him at the rally.

CLAIM: “Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in clean energy for American workers, including the IBEW installing 500,000—500,000—charging stations all across America.” VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. They built eight, as of May. President Joe Biden claimed credit Monday night for building 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, as part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The reality is that as of May 2024, two and-a-half years after the bill was passed, only eight of the charging stations had been built.

In politics, both sides exaggerate their good points and distract from their negatives, but Monday was like watching a melodrama with invented realities. I trust that the GOP and Trump campaign will take this event seriously and learn from the attacks upon the former president. Kamala Harris came out for two minutes to tell the audience to cheer Joe Biden when he comes out, despite being booted from the ticket. Biden himself did not get to talk till after 11:00 p.m. on the East Coast, though, way past his bedtime, and when most viewers have

Once an absolute pariah, spitting disjointed hooks like a cybernetic impression of a rap artist, Kamala is now a heroine. We’re witnessing the enthronement of a court jester.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz used favorable language to describe Chinese communism when teaching a high school social studies class in 1991, according to an unearthed article in Nebraska’s Alliance Times-Herald. Walz told students that, under communism, “everyone shares” and gets free food and housing from the government, according to the resurfaced newspaper piece first reported by the Washington Free Beacon. Just two years before the article was published, China’s communist government massacred pro-democracy student protesters in Tiananmen Square, with death counts ranging from several hundred to thousands, according to the BBC.

My flak jacket is on as I write this since I am sure to offend or p*** off some friends, family, and colleagues who are ostensibly Republicans or conservatives but have a visceral aversion to Donald Trump. Some tell me they are Republican and miss Ronald Reagan but also admit they “couldn’t” vote for Donald Trump in either 2016 or 2020. Nothing says one is Republican like voting for a liberal Democrat. This is the NeverTrump wing of the Republican Party, emerging shortly after Trump secured the GOP nomination in 2016. Reasons for NeverTrump-ism are myriad. Some were offended by his mean tweets, name-calling, and brash Queens personality.
