Saw the cover of that rag and KNEW that it would not be a serious look at these partisan hacks using these shows to shove political propaganda in people’s faces.
“comics are ditching balance and taking sides”
“Sides” implying more than one, which is a lie.
Article lists a lot of people. Did not recognize any comedians.
Amazing how today’s lackluster, failed comedians get jobs, shows and magazine covers.
Combined they form an echo chamber. And if they weren't on the cover of Time, no one would be able to put the faces with names. They represent the end of comedy.
ROTFLMAO!
Did he also mention that ratings are down, down, down!?
Woe to him that calls evil good, and good evil.
If Trump wins, The Machine is going to go into full overdrive.
Fortunately, unlike GWB, Trump doesn’t play a defense-only game.
Did they mention how in the toilet the leftist comedy has sent their money making ratings?
When were they ever balanced? Ever?
All the pretense has been dropped. The democrat/communist media/entertainment propaganda complex that has existed for decades finally admits that it is what it is.
The only one whom I can recall being fair and close to non partisan was Craig Ferguson. And that’s because he tended toward the small “L” Libertarian view of things.

Late night TV has become a cesspool of immaturity. Back in the day, I think most of us knew Carson was a Lefty, but he was still funny and skewered both sides. Leno wasn’t Carson, but he still maintained a pretty good balance....right up until Obama. NOT ONE late night comic held Obama accountable, probably because they didn’t want to be accused of racism, because that’s what happened to anyone who brought up Obama embarrassing mistakes (I’ve been in 57 states, McCain didn’t question my Muslim faith, etc.). Late night declared ‘Obama isn’t funny’, while genuflecting to their Masters on the Left. Leno didn’t make jokes about Obama and I was sorely disappointed. Late night TV is over.......much better to get our sleep for the fight ahead.
That is not an earthquake, it is Henry B Luce, founder of Time-Life, spinning at very rapid RPMs in his coffin! The former staples of a well educated, well informed person in the 1940s-60s were having (and reading) Time and or Newsweek. I haunted the library stacks for their coverage of various topics for College papers. It was almost equally interesting to read the advertising as well.
By the 1970s the liberal bias started getting strong, first in Newsweek, always the more liberal/left, then in Time. Also the information and intelligent content started getting displaced by “entertainment” and gossip. It has been so long since I allowed my subscriptions to lose, I no longer get discount solicitations from them!
I can recall a time when I was in a bar on a Saturday night when the usual goings on stopped because many of the patrons were clustered around an old 19inch boob-toob watching Saturday Night Live.
I had never previously witnessed such a thing but I could see why - SNL was funny. Even that didn’t last long and I can’t imagine it ever being significant enough for people to interrupt their debauchery for it now.
Comedy is only valuable if it is funny. Today’s comedy isn’t funny, but it continues to be useful if on;y in a mean-spirited sort of way. I’m thick-skinned and don’t GAS if assholes are making jokes at my expense, but I’m not inclined to be a party to it.
