Presidents should be open to criticism and ridicule of folks who oppose them.

My problem was that the mainstream comedy world didn't touch Bill Clinton...until late in his term. And they NEVER mocked Barry....and called anybody who did "WACIST!"

BTW, back in the late 1980's, I used to visit Comedy clubs often...until it dawned on me they were making fun of the same two things: Televangelists and Ronald Reagan (not that they shouldn't have been fodder,but it was basically different takes on the same two subjects. I would've loved to hear a comedian mock Atheists, or feminists, or gays, or Leftists....).

Give CBS a call! This apology is unacceptable! It wasn’t “cruel.” It was vulgar!

We are going to have to start demanding "equal time" in all forms of media, especially if they continue to brand all of this as political "resistance".

In a way that no one has ever done before, Trump has smoked them all out into the open with their biased political moralizing on full display for everyone to see. If we trust that the American people aren't hypnotized, the ultimate result will be complete and utter distrust of media, with some alternate forms coming on to the scene to kill the current corrupt forms.

Even far leftist Oliver Stone has compared the democrats and their lapdog media to suicide bombers, so determined to destroy the Trump presidency, that they are willing to destroy the entire country to get the job done.

Stephen tells the President everything journalists, restrained by their dignity, wish they could say

He's no comedian, and they are not "journalists"...RATagandists all.

Do we all remember the Newsweak magazine cover/headline after 9/11? A photo of a burning tower and underneath the photo - in bold black block lettering WHY DO THEY HATE US? I give you exhibit A -

"Anyone who expresses their love for another person, in their own way is, to me, an American hero." - Stephen Colbert

We live in a world where this is considered comedy? We live in a world of no respect, vulgarity, rudeness to the enth degree, anger, fighting over a seat, rampaging, riots, destruction of property, and I don’t see it scaling back at all... it’s getting worse. They were given the green light from obama to be ugly and go after the good people ... and they are taking it to the max!

50 years ago, none of this would pass as civility... no one would ever do this to a President of the United States... it’s embarrassing for this to be on national TV and the world see what we have become in those circles. They adored the most disgusting man to ever become the President.. the lawless and fake man who I can not stand... they think he’s the greatest... and bill clinton got a huge pass on his life... the audience is made up of people just like them, or become like them in that atmosphere. .. and it’s a real downer to know they are in the swamp with all the rest who think like that... My President deserves better, and his lovely family... I can’t believe what they all are doing to this family... the division is far and wide... I hope he can withstand.. not many could.

Wonder how much Cobert paid his writers to come up with that drivel?

Once upon a time comedians like Abbott and Costello had routines like “Who’s on First”.

Today, Liberal comedians have comedy routines which, in their entirety, consist of: “I hate Republicans”.

Humor isn’t what it used to be.

If these foul-mouthed Leftists keep it up, Pres. Trump will win in 2020 in a landslide that will eclipse Ronald Reagan’s re-election. The Left is out of touch with 90% of Americans, but the slim 10% cheer each other on to new lows.

Step One: Remove ColBURT’s eyeglasses.

Step Two: Flatten ColBURT’s needle nose.

Liberal projecting again. If given half a chance, Liberals would kill all the men, rape the women and sell the children into slavery.

Bozell wastes so much of his time and talent covering these adolescent morons. Just ignore them instead of giving them the attention that they crave.

Thinking of SNL of old rosanne rosanna dana, akroyd, belushi, jane curtain, yes they were political but they were not viscous arrogant a##es. We could all laugh at the satire on the president and political leaders at the time because it was not mean spirited. These non comedic idiots are looking to be relevant

There’s not a single late-nite comedian worth a POS. . . none of them . . . No reason to look for variety show type comedians anymore . . . I loved Carson, had some use for Leno, but all we have now are vicious, bitter, unfunny, worthless so-called comedians only because they HATE Trump.
