We already know that the MSM, including the major TV news networks, are blatantly biased in favor of Democrats and against conservatives.

But it’s not just TV news. Studies show that Americans, especially millennials, increasingly get their news from late night TV talk shows.

What if I were to tell you that a major comedian-actor who made his reputation on Comedy Central’s popular news-parody series The Daily Show and now hosts the CBS Late Show, actually took direct orders from the Clinton Foundation?

That would be Stephen Colbert who joined The Daily Show in 1997, then had his own spun-off series The Colbert Report for 9 years, from 2005 to December 2014 when he left Comedy Central to succeed David Letterman as the host of CBS’s The Late Show.

On April 10, 2013, Craig Minassian, Chief Communications Officer of the Clinton Foundation, sent an email to John Podesta to bring attention to two special episdoes of The Colbert Report that he, Minassian, “had them do”:

John,

I hope you got a chance to see the The Colbert Report’s two special episodes i had them do about CGI U that we taped in St. Louis this weekend. This is the link to last nights with a sketch about commitments and the monologue and WJC interview aired Monday. Hope you enjoy and looking forward to your feedback. Next will be your Colbert appearance!

Note: ◾John Podesta is a powerful, longtime Democratic Party operative whose political offices include: Chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign;Counselor to President Barack Obama (2014-2015); President Bill Clinton’s White House Chief of Staff (1998-2001). ◾CGI = one of the programs of the Clinton Foundation. ◾CGI U = the expansion of the Clinton Global Initiative model to to students, universities, and national youth organizations. ◾WJC = William Jefferson Clinton

Here’s the screenshot I took from WikiLeaks of the email:

Boring to watch an over-hyped human attempt to display how full of energy he is. I do believe he's full of something else.

Does anybody watch or like that schmuck Colbert?

The Clinton Crime Family Foundation has been out of the public eye for something like two months. What is going on there? I want those two jackles in cuffs before spring.

Meanwhile, in Jacksonville, a former congressman, Corine Brown, Dem and of “go gator” fame, will be on trial for misusing a piddly $800K from a scholarship foundation. I hope first words out of her attorney is: why is she on trial, perhaps she did not divert enough like the Clintons who just happen to be white?

I watched a few seconds of Jimmy Fallon last night. He is becoming ever more blatant in his complying with NBC to back stab Trump. Not even close to being funny anymore. Borders on compulsion and irrationality.

I stopped watching late night TV years ago because of their anti-Republican political jokes. But they always went soft on both Clintons and Obama. I figured it was because of their NY audiences.

I guess it’s good someone is writing about this but it’s always disheartening to see that it’s only an obscure blog that is willing to tell the truth these days. You will NEVER see this story on the evening news where it should be.

[N. Theknow]

Haven't seen anything regarding late night TV promotions that would entice me to view it since Carson retired.

Never watched one minute of Leno or Letterman and certainly not about to waste a single moment of my time on the current pathetic array of crap-throwing, picayune hams.
