Unless you have the bliss of complete ignorance, you should be well acquainted with the overt virtue-signaling that saturates every album, show, and movie that finds its way into the canon of popular culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More often than not, in the pursuit of creating such content, nominal artists <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/20\/despite-mega-popularity-rick-and-mortys-legacy-is-complicated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sacrifice the quality<\/a> of their products to make space for social messaging. This trend is common in comedy and is especially apparent in late-night television, which is one of many reasons why the dinosaur of a format struggles to remain relevant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This past week, \u201cThe Late Show\u201d hosted by Stephen Colbert on CBS featured Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the former Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz. With such a star-studded panel, it\u2019s hard to believe Colbert can\u2019t retain the top spot in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/markjoyella\/2022\/08\/16\/fox-news-channels-greg-gutfeld-beats-stephen-colbert-to-claim-title-as-ratings-king-of-late-night\/?sh=25e8bf9f184e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Because late-night television is little more than a retelling of current events in front of an audience consisting of left-wing focus groups, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/colbertlateshow\/status\/1587927534733119489?s=20&#038;t=sLCXvjFzsoNg6iJoZ-DQeA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conversation<\/a> between Warren and Colbert emphasized the senator\u2019s opposition to Elon Musk\u2019s business interests in Twitter and her resentment of Musk as a billionaire who \u201cdoesn\u2019t pay his taxes\u201d while \u201cdabbling in conspiracy theories on Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody is going to make the decisions about what we see on Twitter,\u201d Warren said. \u201cIt can be made out in the open, it can be made in public, it could be made by a commission, we could decide to do that. We could make the rules out there and for anybody to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to posit that she believes decisions about how to regulate Twitter \u201cought to be made in the open\u201d but didn\u2019t elaborate at all about what that might entail or why the man who purchased the company shouldn\u2019t be able to do what he wants with it.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert\u2019s segment with Moniz opened with the former energy secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7NKxFGPNv_Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explaining<\/a> the difference between \u201ctactical\u201d and \u201cstrategic\u201d nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>If this sounds stupid, it\u2019s because it is, indeed, rather stupid. From start to finish, watching shows like Colbert\u2019s is a waste of time. Programs like this are seldom written anymore with the intention of entertaining people; after all, when was the last time someone genuinely found joy, let alone relief or escapism, in watching them?<\/p>\n<p>This past Monday on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d \u2014 prior to the commencement of the 2022 midterm elections \u2014 Kimmel\u2019s wife, Molly McNearney, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/2022-election-jimmy-kimmels-wife-tells-audience-vote-people-trust-women-abortion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appeared<\/a> on the show to \u201csound the alarm\u201d over \u201cabortions rights\u201d being \u201cgone or in danger in 26 states even though the overwhelming majority of this country supports a woman\u2019s right to choose.\u201d McNearney \u2014 who insisted that motherhood is the \u201cbest\u201d job on the planet \u2014 recited some of the same half-truths and blatant lies that leftists use in their abortion advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>While nagging the audience about why women need abortion to remain legal, she asked, \u201cAre you expecting this to be funny?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Colbert featuring prominent figures from the Democratic Party on his show demonstrates how late-night television is just more leftist propaganda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1185,"featured_media":1734419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1734416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1185"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1734416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1734416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1734419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1734416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1734416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1734416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
