**Tidal Wave of Late-Night Liberalism Fuels Trump Support**
A recent study by the Media Research Center has revealed a staggering bias prevalent in late-night television, highlighting that a whopping 98% of political jokes during a two-month period directly target former President Donald Trump.
Conducted between September 3 and October 25, this analysis sheds light on just how lopsided the comedic landscape has become, with 1,428 out of 1,463 jokes aimed at Trump, leaving a mere 35 jokes for his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
This blatant one-sidedness only underscores a broader phenomenon in mainstream media where late-night comedy has transformed into a vehicle for liberal propaganda rather than a genuinely humorous commentary on current events.
Indeed, the findings indicate that these shows are increasingly out of touch with the sentiments of a significant segment of American viewers, especially those who may lean conservative.
Jimmy Kimmel's recent 19-minute anti-Trump diatribe serves as a prime example. Seeking to sway undecided voters, Kimmel ended up alienating many who felt his rant only solidified their support for Trump.
Social media reactions reflected this backlash, with numerous viewers declaring their intent to vote for Trump simply to counter Kimmel's condescending take.
While Kimmel expressed biases against Trump, admitting his own reasons for negativity, the broader backlash indicates a work of unintended consequences—where viewers, feeling attacked for their political beliefs, are more resolute than ever to support the former president.
As comedians like Kimmel lean into their partisan games, the financial repercussions for such shows have been stark. Ad revenue has plummeted by more than 60% since 2016, and CBS recently axed "The Late Late Show" after a notable decline in viewership, citing losses as high as $20 million annually.
In a media landscape where Trump remains a dominant figure, these late-night shows risk irrelevance as they become increasingly disconnected from their audience, demonstrating that viewers are less amused by politically charged humor and more drawn towards authenticity and relatability.
This ongoing trend of relentless attacks on Trump may ultimately backfire, serving only to galvanize his support and draw more voters to his side. As late-night television struggles with declining popularity, the future could very well favor the comedic approach more aligned with the sentiments of everyday Americans rather than elitist mockery.
