This morning on O’Connor & Firm (Salem Information Channel), host Larry O’Connor sat down with Media Analysis Middle (MRC) President David Bozell to dissect the demise of Stephen Colbert’s Late Present on CBS. What was as soon as a panorama of edgy, anti-establishment humor has devolved right into a predictable echo chamber and the MRC has the info to show it.
Bozell revealed that out of 511 political visitors tracked on the present during the last couple of years, 257 have been liberals in comparison with only one conservative (they usually have been being beneficiant with that one). Colbert didn’t simply favor one political facet; he constructed an echo chamber that he in the end could not escape. As Bozell places it:
“He was so consumed together with his enemy, Donald Trump, that he could not provide you with some artistic bits that would lengthen his profession on late night time.”
With CBS pulling the plug and mogul Byron Allen stepping in with a strict “no politics, simply humorous” mandate, is America lastly able to chortle once more? Can nostalgia save the format, or has the late night time model been ruined for good?
Wish to hear the total breakdown of Colbert’s “narcissistic” sendoff and what’s subsequent for CBS? Take a look at the total video beneath.
