There is hope after all....
I loved Wilmore on the Daily Show, and I was looking forward to see what he could bring to the table. Instead, he landed right into the worst examples of all the super-lefty late-night news shows. They don't even make a secret about it anymore. Wilmore, Oliver, and to a lesser degree Noah have sharp leftist agendas, stack their audiences accordingly, and that's what you get to watch.
The article talks about how the tipping point was being dismissive on Bill Nye, a guy liberals generally like a lot, but it brought to light exactly what this guy does every day.
- Everyone on his usual panel pool is a discount comedian, or a black/latina lady that is usually pretty smart, but crazy biased on everything.
- Opposing views are NOT welcome at all. The article talked about ambushing, and that's exactly what they do. if you say one thing disparaging about a minority, or positive about a gun, even if it's a fact backed up by stats, Mike Yard will jump on you immediately, the audience will pile on, and it's 1 on 1000. The only viewers the show has left are young superlibs with little to no life experience, so you're really wasting your time saying anything here.
- Wilmore even said he wanted his show to be focused mostly on race. One topic? It was hot at the time, and still is, but it goes to show that people just get sick one talking about one thing after awhile (okay, 2 things, race and politics), no matter how much of a hot-button topic it can be.
Viewership when the show first aired dropped by about 25%, which is common, but has now dropped to less than half.
* NOTE: all the anti-black super-racists, please stay out of this thread. We already know what you think, and you don't bring anything to the table anymore.
My point is that it's all become so one-sided that it's also become nauseating. I can't watch Fox News either. There's no longer a middle ground for people who can actually think objectively anymore. Stewart and Colbert faded to the left, but they were (sadly) about as close to the middle as it got for awhile. Comedy Central made sure it never went to far to one side. Now they clearly don't care as long as somebody watches it. It's already backfiring.
