The Late-Night Comedians Rage At Trump

The biggest joke in former President Barack Obama's endorsement video
for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was his
warning about what Biden is facing. "(I)t won't be easy," he said. "The
other side has a massive war chest. The other side has a propaganda
network with little regard for the truth."
Obama has almost the entire news media eating out of his hand, and he
still whines about Fox News, that irksome "propaganda network." The
left complains whenever it can't corner every media market and squelch
any uprising of conservative dissent. It's "propaganda" and
"disinformation" when you disagree with the left's wonderfully
compassionate worldview.
Then there are the comedians, who are even more urgently on the verge
of complete groupthink. I opened up my morning email of video clips
from Grabien and was just amazed at the venom of commentary from the
late-night shows on April 15. Let's start with President Donald Trump's
decision to withhold World Health Organization funding for a few months
to probe what went wrong with the eruption of the coronavirus from
China.
The comedians fell all over themselves competing for the best metaphors
to describe Trump as a flaming-hot moron who will harm us all. Who
would win the gold medal for hottest burn?
On ABC, there's Jimmy Kimmel, who said: "Stopping funding to an
organization that handles pandemics in the middle of a pandemic is like
slashing your own tires because you're mad you woke up late for work.
So far, he's blamed this on Obama, the governors, the media, the WHO.
Has he blamed it on the Mexicans yet?"
On CBS, Stephen Colbert offered his own entry: "It's like when your
house is engulfed in flames: The first thing you do is burn down the
fire department. The U.S. is the WHO's biggest donor, so Trump is
talking about taking away around $553 million. He hasn't done anything
this hostile to world health since introducing the burger table"
(translation: the fast food feast at the White House for the Clemson
football team).
On Comedy Central, "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah joked about Uber when
talking about Trump's maligning the "integral" WHO: "It's the same
reason you don't give your Uber driver one star during the ride. You do
that (expletive) after you are safe at home, not while you're doing 90
on the freeway. `One star? One star? I will show you one star, motherf
---!'"
The late-night comedians can even trash CNN . from the left. NBC late-
night host Seth Meyers lectured the cable newsers for their live
coverage of Trump's coronavirus press briefings. "(I)t doesn't make it
better when you give it a negative chyron, like CNN did on Monday with
`Angry Trump Turns Briefing Into Propaganda Session,'" he said. "You
know what else turned that into a propaganda session? Pointing your
camera at it. Before you showed up it was just `Crazy Lawn Man Does His
Thing.' You can't air a propaganda session and criticize it."
For "balance," we could spy on CBS late-night host James Corden, who
interviewed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her kitchen two nights
earlier. Now, she would be held accountable, right? Wrong. For 15
minutes, Corden asked softball questions such as this: "Why is it, do
you think, the president is choosing to ignore scientists and science
and talk about reopening the country, not shut the country down soon
enough? Why do you think?"
Then Corden gushed all over Pelosi when she showed him her expensive
freezer loaded with chocolate ice cream. "I have always felt a
connection with you, and now I understand why," he said.
To CBS, she's a very sweet and creamy Woman of the People. But look
over there at Fox. That network is just full of one-sided, partisan
propaganda.

It took you more than half a decade to stop bitching about Bush after he
left office. Now we're not allowed to talk about Obama?
Double-standards... how FPP loves them.

Crashed the global economy.
Obama: Fixed Bush's fuckups and got the economy back on track. Gave
Americans affordable healthcare, while he was at it.
Trump: Ignored intel that led to worst health crisis (and economic
crisis) in our history.
Thanny: Just ignores two of them.

Every American should want President Trump and his administration to handle
the coronavirus epidemic effectively and successfully. Those who seem eager
to see the president fail and to call every administration misstep a fiasco
risk letting their partisanship blind them to the demands not only of civic
responsibility but of basic decency.
