The problem is twofold, but both related to the same reason: their audience is Boomers and older X'ers. The twofold problem is they're catering to Centrist #resistance types, and the other is that these sorts of shows as a thing are on life support as it is. Colbert tried to ignore politics and his ratings sucked. He slammed Trump and they soared, beating out Fallon whose avoidance of political topics is well-known (the Trump hair tousle, etc).

These shows were unwatchable anyway, though. The only one who was a change of pace was when Conan took the Tonight Show for nine months and Leno came to take it back. Good riddance, these shows belong in history books at this point.

That's exactly what the point should have been. Trump has made himself worse than any mockery, so any joke at his expense just serves to humanize the monster.

If yall have any spare change to throw this mans way, please do it so my state can become less of a racist hellhole. Lee is pro-labor, pro-environment, pro-transit, and is not taking a dime from corps so he relies on people like us to give him what we can. He is the real loving deal goons and he is being primaried from the right because the Dem Establishment doesn't like that he refuses to bend the knee. His primary opponent is being funded by Republicans for gently caress's sake, and half of them gave money to Corey Stewart. If Lee loses odds are VA Dems will lose this seat and a voice for the progressive cause.

Christ, in VA teachers are not even allowed to strike so they get paid 9% LESS than the national average. That is 9% less than the pittance we already pay them....

For informative comedy there's still Sam Bee, John Oliver, and Some More News (needs a tv spot.) The Colbert Report was a unique warped-mirror kind of comedy that I imagine not alot of people have the chops to pull off.

I don't think Colbert Report would work today, period, no matter who was helming it. It's not funny any more.

That said I don't really get the hate against Colbert now. I watch him, he's amusing enough, Jon Batiste is brilliant.

federal murder for hire (even done as a hate crime) caps at 10 years if it results in no personal injury

if he shot anyone, hes looking at least 20 for the federal murder for hire plus whatever other conspiracy charges

How did Fox misjudge the Bernie audience so massively? I mean they are almost rabidly anti-trump and pro-Bernie/progressive. Surely they were all vetted and selected for their political positions

Was it great organising on the part of Bernie's team to get them there?

I feel like it would be too much to call it a 4D chess on the part of the producers, to increase his chances in the primary, as a strategy to win the general...

Did they just really not expect that kind of support for him?

You could in theory but it would require a level of grotesquery and depravity that network censors, sponsors, rich people in general and decorum-poisoned libs would all rise up as one to stop you.

It would require Spitting Image puppets, incest jokes piled on infidelity jokes, diaper fetishism, a Trump puppet who fucks a bucket of KFC while held aloft on a palanquin borne by four weeping tough guys, DJTjr eating the children of caged immigrants in front of them, just complete and total unhinged decadence to highlight how insane the actuality is.
