I think the late-night entertainers are trying to follow the trend as young white people are turned off by Obama; they don’t want to lose their “hipness” - in their industry it is the kiss of death.
All of these media personalities collaborated in the coverup of Obama’s inadequacy four years ago, and they can all go to hell. Technology has evolved to the point where it is very easy fpr one to be “entertained” for years without ever watching an episode of these shows.
Still, it’s all part of the trend, as you say, of moving away from Obama rather than worshipping him.
It was just interesting to me that not once but twice in this video Leno indicated Obama is not the one to vote for. And the fact that ANY liberal is bringing up the Libya coverup when the MSM is so silent about it is very telling, IMO.
I fully understand where they're coming from. The successful media personalities are paid a lot of money. But for something like 99% of showbiz people, the industry provides low-paying part-time jobs, when jobs are available at all. Showbiz isn't like accounting, where stable jobs are the norm. Bottom line is that anything who catches the zeitgeist needs to milk it for everything he can, because he might be out on his butt tomorrow. And that means kissing up to his liberal paymasters even if he doesn't agree 100% with their views. While it might seem strange that something as peripheral as ideology might be so important to job security, it's not entirely surprising - the imbalance of power is massive, given the 99% underemployment rate in the sector. At the same time, I think the extreme instability of the work means that all workers in the industry crave some kind of safety net, which they look towards the government to provide.
You’re right. Haven’t watched any of them for years.
