Seeing them violently switch comedic gears during the Trump-Biden transition proved that to anyone willing to trust their eyes and ears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Still, these brave \u201ctruth tellers\u201d avoid select topics at all costs. Why? It could damage the Democrats. It\u2019s why some ripe subjects remain untouched by Colbert, Kimmel, Bee and their like-minded peers. Others are approached oh, so gingerly before moving on to a stale Orange Man Bad throwback joke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>COVID-19\u2019s Rolling Goal Posts<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Any satirist could feast on this topic. Every few weeks the powers that be, from the CDC to various politicians and news outlets, move the goal posts on the enduring pandemic. From \u201c15 days to slow the spread\u201d to, \u201check, you better stock up on masks even after we\u2019ve all been vaccinated,\u201d the advice regarding COVID-19 is constantly shifting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here\u2019s a hint. It\u2019s rarely about the science and mostly about expanding government control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So where is Colbert to \u201cdestroy\u201d these inconsistencies? Shouldn\u2019t John Oliver drape his thick British accent atop the hypocrisy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Of course not. Pandemic overreach is like dogma on the Left, and comedians are loath to even bring it up, let alone satirize it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dr. Anthony Fauci<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Dr. Fauci himself often appears on late night shows to peddle his curious brand of information and medical spin. The hosts, in turn, treat him like a conquering hero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What\u2019s missing? Jokes attacking the doctor\u2019s horrendous track record on multiple fronts. Here\u2019s a quick reminder: He admitted to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/uk-factcheck-fauci-outdated-video-masks-idUSKBN26T2TR\"><span>lying to Americans about mask use<\/span><\/a><span> early in the pandemic. Later, he confessed he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/fauci-goalposts-herd-immunity-c83c7500-d8f9-4960-a334-06cc03d9a220.html\"><span>twisted the numbers<\/span><\/a><span> about herd immunity because he didn\u2019t trust the public to do the right thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He also kept mostly quiet about Black Lives Matter rallies as potential super spreader events. Perhaps worst of all? He praised both New York and its Governor, Andrew Cuomo, as the leaders we need in these troubled times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/07\/18\/fauci-holds-up-new-york-as-model-for-fighting-coronavirus-they-did-it-correctly.html\"><span>They did it correctly,\u201d<\/span><\/a><span> he said last July. Really.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That\u2019s just a partial list of why the American public should greet any Fauci-ism with a grain of table salt. The next time he graces a late night couch, though, he can expect nothing but softballs and huzzahs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Antifa Violence<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Late night comics are taking the Biden approach to this far-left hate group. It\u2019s just an idea that causes \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/late-night-gaslighting-seth-meyers-portland\/\"><span>light property damage and graffiti,\u201d<\/span><\/a><span> according to Seth Meyers of \u201cLate Night\u201d fame. Oliver similarly downplayed the endless violence caused by the radical group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Otherwise, Antifa rarely gets mentioned on the late night landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Colbert found a semblance of sanity in 2018, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2018\/nov\/8\/stephen-colbert-antifa-mob-tucker-carlsons-house-s\/\"><span>mocking Antifa for targeting Tucker Carlson\u2019s home<\/span><\/a><span>. Since then, he\u2019s been more muted on the subject. Last June, he poked fun at a news story where President Trump claimed an elderly man was an Antifa radical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Left\u2019s embrace\/acceptance\/denial of Antifa violence is one of many stains on their collective character, which is why these comics won\u2019t go near the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Florida Success Story<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Late night TV loved Gov. Andrew Cuomo \u2026 until the truth finally seeped out. We now know the Luv Gov\u2019 twisted COVID-19 data to protect his administration\u2019s reputation. And then there\u2019s the fact that he sent infected people into nursing homes, spiking the death rate in his state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Comics ignored Cuomo\u2019s true nature for months, and yet they\u2019re leery of defending a governor who was routinely attacked in the press despite handling COVID-19 better than most leaders \u2013 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If DeSantis were a Democrat he\u2019d be too busy appearing on various late night shows to actually govern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As is, DeSantis\u2019 record of limited lockdowns and maximum freedom made him a very likely presidential candidate in 2024\u2026 and for good reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Faux Super Spreaders<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The Expert ClassTM keeps warning us of \u201csuper spreaders\u201d that will cause pandemic rates to skyrocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And, in most cases, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/the-morning-jolt\/bidens-border-falsities-what-happened-to-the-disinformation-police\/\"><span>they\u2019re flat out wrong<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, a liberal throng celebrating Joe Biden\u2019s presidential victory or any number of Black Lives Matter protests aren\u2019t considered remotely dangerous for virus contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet the crisis, yes \u201ccrisis,\u201d at the U.S. border represents true super spreader potential but said Expert Class and the comedians who rule late night won\u2019t dare mention it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Shuttered Schools<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Select schools in the U.S. opened late last year, while others have accepted students in classrooms more recently. We\u2019re still not seeing a massive COVID-19 outbreak from these open schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Just the opposite, actually. The science appears darn near settled.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet the Teachers Unions aren\u2019t convinced live schooling is safe. The Biden administration isn\u2019t leading the way to get schools open at long last despite promises to the contrary.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A truth to power comic might skewer Biden and the unions for playing politics with our children. Somehow they missed that vital memo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kids in Cages<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.avclub.com\/stephen-colbert-invites-satan-to-defend-putting-kids-in-1826944942\"><span>Colbert interviewed Satan himself<\/span><\/a><span> in 2018 to underline the tragedy of President Trump\u2019s \u201ckids in cages\u201d crisis. And he wasn\u2019t alone in condemning the conditions along the border in the harshest terms possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The press finally acknowledged the border crisis and the heartbreaking conditions facing too many immigrant children. Just don\u2019t expect Team Late Night to show they same fury they shared when President Trump was in the White House.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Heck, Kimmel recently complained that President Biden <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/night-hosts-lighter-side-cold-081407379.html\"><span>was just too darn competent. Really.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>A Caveat<\/b><span>: The host of HBO\u2019s \u201cReal Time with Bill Maher\u201d frequently tackles subjects that his peers avoid at all costs. Maher remains aggressively liberal and occasionally cruel, but he\u2019s willing to pursue select truths in ways other liberal hosts wouldn\u2019t dare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
