How Legacy Media Weaponizes Late-Night Propaganda
Hollywood in Toto ^ | 28 October 2026 | Christian Toto

Late-night shows, “The View” and “Saturday Night Live” hammer President Donald Trump and all things GOP 24/7. It’s literally all they do from a political perspective. They downplay the DSA, when they’re not making excuses for their egregious views, ignore Democrats behaving badly and pretend Hasan Piker isn’t a pox on the culture.

These programs are in-kind contributions to the DNC. Period. That’s shameful enough. And while Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” is unabashedly on the Right, the show’s libertarian panelists (like Kat Timpf) routinely hold GOP feet to the fire.

As well they should.

The far-Left propaganda doesn’t merely exist on the shows themselves. Reporters at Variety, Entertainment Weekly, Deadline, TheWrap.com, The Hollywood Reporter and more regularly take these late-night screeds and turn them into news articles.

One EW story ran nearly 500 words. Now, imagine the stories that could be covered by these outlets but are ignored. Like this: ‘Paging Hezbollah’ Does More Than Share Espionage Miracle

The emphasis is on “news,” by the way. But if a TV show hammers the GOP night after night after night, is it really news? The old journalism saw “man bites dog” should apply, no?

That also explains why reporters breathlessly cover every time Robert De Niro savages President Trump. By the fifth time, it’s no longer news.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

For almost 20 years now, SNL has existed only to provide Sunday column fodder for Beltway journalists. As John Hinderaker wrote in 2017 at Power Line, political reporters and wire services love to recap SNL episodes, because it allows them to get their biases in print while still maintaining a thin veneer of objectivity. “‘Respectable’ news outlets like the AP can’t publish absurd comedy skits ripping President Trump, much as they might like to,” Hinderaker wrote. “But by covering Saturday Night Live, they turn such meaningless attacks into fake ‘news.’”

Liberals run all the networks and all the social/Hollywood crap - and FOXNews? FOXNews works to be 'fair and balanced'...20+ outlets for liberals - one half of one outlet for Conservatives...

Their ideas are “stupid.”

Rent control?

Freedom is killing a baby?

Playing the race card in perpetuity?

Feminism is destroy the idea of marriage, having children, and pinning everything in a vapid career?

Sex changes for children, tax paid for sex changes, hormone blockers for children, sexualizing children in elementary school with their LGBTQIA nonsense...

More government control and taxes to allegedly help the children and save the planet.

It’s really goofy crap.

BUT... When you own the microphone and no one else gets a say, the goofy crap if repeated often enough by all the different races, sexes, ages and religions, a clergy, and a so called scientist; when it’s made to look like everyone is on board with this, do you really want to be that one voice that screams how you disagree?

They own the mic.

That’s true in public schools, the MSM news, social media, and Hollywood.
