Mediaboss Marketing

Remember when late-night comedy shows were funny instead of being populated by left-wing lecturers?

Case in point in our weekly Liberal Media Scream is Late Show host Stephen Colbert. Along with many people last week, he watched the televised testimony of Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis and her explanation of her affair with an attorney she put in charge of the election case against former President Donald Trump.

How good was this sex? Good enough to risk democracy over? he asked in his monologue.

Colbert then added, You know what feels really good? Donald Trump going to prison. That that, my friends is what they call a real happy ending.

From Thursdays Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS:

STEPHEN COLBERT: Now, I dont know whos telling the truth here yet, but I will say exchanging business cards isnt exactly a meet cute. The movies not called When Harry Networked with Sally. Now, at one point, Willis had had enough and really laid into opposing counsel.

FANI WILLIS: Youre confused; you think Im on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.

COLBERT: Damn straight. Yeah. Thats right. Thats right. Heres the thing. Yes, its true Donald Trump and his associates are on trial in this, one of the most important cases in the history of our republic. So, and, Ive just got one follow-up question here: Given that if you are removed from the prosecution, it could delay this trial until after the election: How good was the sex? Good enough to risk democracy over? Because Ive never had sex that good. You know what feels really good? Donald Trump going to prison. That that, my friends is what they call the real happy ending.

Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: Liberals love to complain that Donald Trump has broken many norms, but prominent entertainment media figures like Colbert have destroyed late-night TV. It was a comedy refuge from hard-edged politics, but Colbert is using his show to advance left-wing talking points and push his hate of Trump and conservatives in the guise of comedy. Its not funny, and a legend like Johnny Carson, whose political jokes were light-hearted and chided both sides, is rolling over in his grave.

Rating: FIVE out of FIVE SCREAMS.
