Pinpointing the exact cause of Late Night TV's precipitous decline can be tricky. Yes it's Trump, but not only. It's also that the "Daily Show" sensibility has become the norm; there's nothing edgy about that snark-style anymore. It's just status quo nowhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1072299942490836997 …

Here is a point by point debunking of John Oliver's propaganda piece on Venezuela & it shows just how bad (but useful for status quo war mongering) people like him are. Funny that this link now asks for your age and asks if u really want to see it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=_fV-C1Ag5sI&bpctr=1544584534 …

Their shared comic premise is nearly always about assigning blame for all the reasons why things are so terrible now to whatever party their audience doesnt like, and ignoring the fact that they're generally not any worse than they've been for decades, under both parties.

Rewatch Stewart's confrontation with Tucker on Crossfire from 2004. It felt shocking at the time because it cracked the mask of respectability. Now it feels mundane. There is no mask any more to crack.

Sorry but can't quite agree with this. For instance you have no self-awareness, and aren't the least bit amusing* *well...intentionally anyway

Just my opinion, but the best late night show is
@joerogan ...he keeps an open mind, asks honest questions and has very interesting guests. His show is far more interesting than Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon. -
I am a fan of Rogan in most respects, but I also think it's important to call him out on encouraging social prejudice toward vulnerable groups & especially gender non-normative people. He has repeatedly mocked trans people while hiding behind a veneer of anti-SJW open-mindedness.
