A Socialist characteristic: taking themselves very seriously and not liking divergent views. In the Leftist world, “diversity” (and any and everything else) is only a means of implementing Socialism. Afterwards, “diversity”, etc., is fine as long as it follows the party line.
They hunt down all who dare wander off the plantation.
Better than Red Eye!
Is this really the reason Leno’s leaving? NBC didn’t seem to mind when Carson lambasted politicians. I guess they’ve changed since then ... as long as the bashing is directed toward the right it’s okay, but don’t bash the left?
Don’t be led that Leno is anything more than a TV personality. Jay Leno is an entertainer and Jay is for Jay and nothing more.
As I recall, they all were anti-Bush/Reagan , pro Clinton/Obama, so I'm not sure taking on a late night talk show would be worth the investment if the host is not conservative all through.
A lot goes out when chatting with guests and the guests themselves are representative of the host.
We'll see.
Saw a documentary on Johnny Carson recently.
After two grueling hours of viewing his self destroyed family and personal life, as is fitting for contemporary (entertainment, a few who knew him well chimed in with, “no one ever knew whom voted for; he was an equal opportunity mocker. Why would he want to alienate half of his audience?”
Why would the right “bemoan” anything about NBC?
“Leno was suffering for his barbs against President Barack Obama.”
Yeah because empERROR Zero has thin skin and gets angry if someone refuses to blow rainbow platitudes up his marxist a$$.
I’m going to affix that target to the top of my truck now.... /sarc
I wouldn’t get too excited about leno. He seemed to be one of the front men for the king during the election run. He’s doing this just to annoy his bosses right now who are about to give him the hook.
You cannot make jokes about Obama...he has a very thin skin. That’s why I love FR!!!!!!!
Diversity, diversity, shalt thou pursue!
Except in thought.
It looks like people are divided on this. In all honesty, I don’t watch him, and have only heard his jokes on other shows. He’s kind of funny. I find him more entertaining than Colbert for example.
He’d probably be a good fit for Fox. I mean, if Whorealdo and Bitter Queen Shep get slots, why not?
Leno stinks at this point, whatever his politics.
““Clearly he pushed it too far,” said Greg Gutfeld said, half joking, on Thursday.”
No half joking there. He was dissing NBC full bore.
“Could Jay Leno become a new conservative hero?”
...he would need to be conservative to be a conservative hero.
Jay Leno is hardly a conservative (probably center-left). He just makes fun of people on all sides, like the old days of comedy.
Leno is a hard core lefty.

Jay Leno: I am a Liberal, Really
The late night host defends himself against charges of a conservative bias in a no-holds barred interview.
dump the fat guy from the five and put in leno, he’s a lib.
The telltale sign of those who have gained power by lies and coercion is their fear of "diversity" of thought and ideas. The truth scares them. Why? Because Socialist ideas and societies fair very poorly when tested against sound reason or actual historical record.
Mao is quoted as calling Christians "The enemy without guns." The Constitution, the truth, the Bible, natural law - all are enemies of big government and Socialism.
