My Fascinating Late Night Encounter

[toobfreak]

OK, so with all this talk of Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel(?) on ABC (I actually got the wrong name at first but caught my mistake looking it up) being suspended over his Charlie Kirk claims, after decades of not giving a shit about Late Night, I decided to tune it in to see what was what these days.

ABC - They were running some stuffy news program now in lieu of Kimmel's show.

CBS - Colbert, trashing President Trump, had some analyst on and they were reviewing a New Yorker magazine cover that showed a cartoon hand of Trump's with a TV remote pushing buttons.

NBC - The guy on NBC was giving a tribute to Jimmy Kimmel, what a great guy he is, and how important free speech is after their spending years celebrating the curtailing of it for thousands of others.

And they wonder why Late Night is dead. Johnny Carson is surely spinning in his grave. None of these networks mentioned the fact that freedom of speech only guarantees freedom to say what you want sans government impediments but says nothing about your violating your employer's contract.

Please point out where Kimmel violated his contract.

Thanks.

I had a yearling doe looking at me through the patio door last evening.....The cat got all excited.

My fault, late with the corn handout.

Dear Penthouse,

I never thought this would happen to me, but ......

Turned on Late Night again last night (Friday Night) thinking that ABC was supposed to have a tribute to Charlie Kirk--- maybe they mean next Friday, because ABC had a game show rerun on instead of Jimmy Kibbel. But I was fascinated to see that Trump is so deep into these network's heads that they actually work a quip about Trump in the opening credits of CBS and NBC takes its immediate shots as well.

These programs don't merely include disparaging shots at Trump thinly disguised as comedy among shots at other politicians (probably mostly or all republicans), but they /REVOLVE/ around politics. Here is your hyper-politicization of the far left.

Then, I think it was NBC but who can be sure, they named their guests, and both of them were hyper far left! No chance of any fair or balanced program there. In fact, one of the two guests for that night's show was Justice Sotomayor of the Supreme Court whom I'm betting shouldn't be doing shows like this, probably talking a lot of shit about others in SCOTUS, the Trump administration, or trends in general in various cases, all from a far far left slant.

Not the best look for the Supreme Court to be going on programming being cancelled for its hyper-partisanship.
