Steven Colbert, who is kinda funny doing cartoon voices, has developed a debilitating Anti-Donald Personality Disorder which is threatening to bring down his entire network.
AP:
At the launch of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” thanks to the hype, promotion, and curiosity that led up to its debut, the show experienced a late-night honeymoon of sorts, which arguably may have artificially boosted the show’s ratings.
However, the show’s ratings recently fell to a level that the CBS network most likely did not anticipate. While Letterman boasted a long track record of being number two in the late-night ratings, Colbert’s offering has descended to third place behind ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.
Following Colbert’s opening week, Fallon and “The Tonight Show” were still at the top of ratings ladder by a significant margin, but Colbert managed to out-rank Kimmel in the month of September and for most of October 2015.
According to a recent survey of 1,000 late-night viewers between the ages of 18 and 65, which was conducted by market research firm Penn Schoen Berland and featured in The Hollywood Reporter, almost twice as many self-described Republicans viewed Colbert’s competitor, Kimmel, as watched Colbert’s show.
…
Analysis of the ratings breakdown provides a significant degree of insight. While Kimmel and Fallon draw audiences that are evenly divided in a political sense, (Kimmel: 34 percent Democrats, 33 percent Republicans; Fallon: 36 percent Democrats, 31 percent Republicans) Colbert attracts almost three times as many Democrats than Republicans (Colbert: 47 percent Democrats, 17 percent Republicans).
In the highly competitive late-night comedy arena, it is not considered a sound business practice for a major network such as CBS to disaffect almost half its potential audience.
Following the leads of late-night legends Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, Kimmel and Fallon have attempted to filter the content of their shows so as to make the substance largely politics free.
Network executives are undoubtedly aware of the cardinal rule of building and maintaining an audience: first entertain.
Colbert essentially cut his comedic teeth on Comedy Central by skewering conservatives, and the approach worked for the reduced niche audience of a cable channel, an audience that incidentally expects and enjoys watching one side, and one side only, being the ridicule recipient.
Colbert’s Comedy Central approach does not seem to be translating to a national mainstream late-night show format on a major broadcast network where the audience is typically seeking a more entertainment-oriented framework.
But never fear. They can just move Colbert back to Comedy Central when the Black guy finally gets fired. Really surprising the Black guy hasn’t gotten fired yet. He’s lost almost 40% of the Daily Show’s audience.
Part of the problem, presumably, is that Black people are stupid. But a couple of them are funny, I think. Why would they get this guy from South Africa?
No one knows.
Here is Colbert attacking Glorious Leader over the idiot WaPo hoax that they “checked the facts” and there were no Arabs dancing in Jersey on 9/11. Then of course, myself and others dug up an article – using a Bond-like spy tool known as “teh google” – on WaPo’s own site reporting that Arabs were arrested in Jersey for dancing on cars and throwing rooftop parties during the attacks.
Maddeningly, this Colbert piece aired AFTER we had already shown that they were lying when they said there was no record of these haji terror-celebrants.
What’s more, WaPo hasn’t even apologized. Trump should sue them.
Because I wrote it and they didn’t publish it, here’s a statement I gave to Buzzfeed on the Donald and Moslems – this is as good a place as any to throw it in.
I personally believe that Islam is entirely incompatible with Western civilization, and should not exist in the West beyond maybe a few non-citizens with special visas. You shouldn’t give permanent residency and certainly not citizenship to Moslems. That said, I think Trump’s plan of increasing pressure on the ones already in the country is a step in the right direction. He obviously can’t call for mass deportations of Moslems, many of whom have citizenship, even while this is something that the majority (probably all) of his supporters would be okay with.
All things being equal, I take a pretty libertarian view of surveillance, privacy, the First Amendment and so on, and in principle I don’t believe in sacrificing liberty for security. But the Moslems are an alien force which we cannot apply the principles of White civilization to. This is very similar (maybe identical) to the way applying the principles of Western democracy to the Middle East doesn’t appear to be working very well.
And with the dancing Jersey Moslems – it was the WaPo who originally claimed they had done a fact-check on this, and found no stories. Then it turned up on their own website.

They then edited the article, not really retracting their claim, and said “well, it might not have actually been thousands of people cheering.” The 2001 WaPo piece says there were people on rooftops and having tailgate party celebrations. So how many was it? Maybe it was hundreds and not thousands? This becomes “well, we’re not sure, but maybe Trump exaggerated,” down from “he’s a complete nutjob or a feckless liar.”
Trump shoots from the hip, and maybe could exaggerate something in an off-the-cuff statement. I’m not sure he did in this case. Probably, there are police reports which estimate the numbers of people seen celebrating. I don’t have the resources to look that up though, and NYT and WaPo aren’t interested.
Note that I have to give Buzzfeed credit, because they do publish entire statements, or at least very long parts of entire statements. They are the only news outlet I have had this experience with, so they are the only one I always try to respond to.
I won’t talk to any mainstream media on the phone anymore, and won’t until they put it in writing that I’ll be on the cover of the Rolling Stone in a Bane mask.
