Late-night comedians could have spared the country from a man who wasn’t fit for the Oval Office.

The Legacy Media wasn’t up to the task.

Reporters not only refused to investigate President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, but they took part in the cover up.

How? 

Consider how they worked with the White House to submit questions in advance, which allowed Team Biden to prep cheat cards for the addled president to read.

Well Jonathan perhaps he hasn’t faced the same scrutiny because journalists aren’t coordinating with the White House to ask him questions.

Plus, journalists attempted to cover up Biden’s mental state by calling video evidence of his condition “cheap fakes.”

We watched it all go down in real time. And, later, Legacy Media journalists wrote books about said decline, but only after the 2024 election was over and no more damage could be done to the Democrats.

NEW: CNN’s Jake Tapper, who covered up Biden’s mental decline, is releasing a new book titled “Original Sin” which covers the “cover up” of his mental decline.

This is like committing a crime and then investigating yourself for that crime.

Man alive.

Yet late-night partisans like Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, John Oliver and Jimmy Fallon ignored Biden’s decline. Sure, they told their fair share of “Biden’s old” jokes, but that’s where it stopped.

He’s ancient but “sharp as a tack.”

Stephen Colbert of “The Late Show” fame was a huge part of that misinformation campaign. Until, one day, he had to tell the truth.

Finally. Why?

President Biden’s brain malfunctioned during the June 27 debate with Donald Trump nearly two years ago. There’s no other succinct way to put it.

Colbert couldn’t cover up reality any longer. And, in trashing Biden nearly four years too late, he beclowned himself.

“Biden debated as well as Abe Lincoln … if you dug him up right now.”

Colbert also said the excuse that the president had a cold was the kind of illness “where your voice gets hoarse and your brain explodes.”

Funny. Sad. Truthful.

So, where was that for four years? 

Colbert had to tell the truth about President Biden, but he really didn’t want to for the longest time.

Some political satirist. He can’t leave the stage soon enough.

Avengers like Ant Man can shrink to the size of an insect or smash anything in sight like The Hulk.

But wait … Stephen Colbert is an Avenger of sorts, too!

So says USA Today, part of the Legacy Media’s fawning farewell tour for Colbert and his hard-Left “Late Show” showcase.

Brian Stelter is in mourning over Colbert’s show coming to an end:

“It just made the world a little less bleak…that’s what we’re losing in this country.”

Yep, somehow the country is going to have to find a way to soldier on, despite one less hour of resistance lib programming… pic.twitter.com/0rukCoxBho

Tonight marks the final new episode of the late-night series. Tomorrow, a cheaper, less divisive program takes its slot – “Comics Unleashed.”

Colbert has been a consequential pop culture figure, no doubt. To read the Legacy Media’s tributes to him suggests something … superheroic.

Hardly.

But no one handles politics with the reassuringly smiling delivery of Colbert. He’s like Errol Flynn as Robin Hood, but in a dapper suit, mocking his daunting opponents while keeping his swashbuckler grin intact.

You should see Colbert dodge and weave when faced with a president who couldn’t share a coherent thought on a debate stage. Flynn couldn’t match that sense of style and dignity!

And this embarrassing piece wasn’t alone.

The far-Left L.A. Times compared Colbert, an alleged Catholic, to a priest. Really.

“We will miss the divine and very human ministry of Stephen Colbert,” reads the headline. Was that why he called President Trump the “c*** holster” for Vladimir Putin? Or laughed at blue-collar Americans for protesting against draconian lockdown mandates that crushed their livelihoods?

Doesn’t seem very spiritual, does it?

Remember all the times Father Colbert railed against progressives for supporting abortion on demand? Me, neither.

The far-Left AP, once a fair and balanced platform, says Colbert’s cancellation leaves a “void.”

Really?

Where will we find another late-night show to attack President Trump … beyond “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “The Tonight Show,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “The Daily Show,” “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “Last Week Tonight?”

GOODBYE STEPHEN COLBERT: THE VAX SCENE CRINGE-FEST

GOODBYE STEPHEN COLBERT: REVIVING VERY FINE PEOPLE HOAX

The AP article should be studied for its chronic bias. It’s a stunning document, one that leaves out that “The Late Show” was hurting CBS to the tune of $40 million a year. Or the fact that the same company that fired Colbert for allegedly mocking President Trump gave more than a $1 billion to the “South Park” duo who spent the last year mocking President Trump.

How in the world do those facts duck your final draft?

It begs an obvious question. Why are we seeing this over-the-top praise and endless tributes for a late-night talker? Colbert’s far-Left shtick reflected the media’s far-Left mentality.

Period.

As bad as most political reporters are today, and they are borderline corrupt in their inability to tell the full truth, they could never go as far as Colbert could each night.

Oh, they wanted to so very badly. But they clung to a pretense of neutrality, one anyone with eyes could see right through.

So they did the next best thing. Two things, actually. Three, really.

• They never labeled him as a progressive
• They regurgitated his every quip to attack President Trump and/or the GOP
• They downplayed or ignored the fact that his show was costing CBS $40 million a year

That’s why we’re seeing a national mourning for “The Late Show’s” cancellation. And, in the Death of Shame, they can’t see what they’ve become.

The post Media Swooning Over Colbert’s Farewell Says … Everything appeared first on Hollywood in Toto.

Since the conservative press these days largely cheer-leads whatever the hell Trump wants -- whenever it isn't explaining how his latest whims are actually 3-D chess -- it behooves one to consider other sources on just about any matter.

And by "other sources," I don't mean just legacy media, which is largely leftist, shallow, and prone to jump to banal conclusions. Case in point: Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie, who "lost to Trump" in his primary yesterday.

Lost to Trump? Really?

I am glad to have encountered Sean Davis's analysis of that defeat, in part because it was good to see that there is at least one other person who remembers that Massie took on Trump before and lived electorally to tell about it:

Trump mercilessly trashed Massie in 2020 -- calling him a "disaster" for America and Kentucky and saying he should be thrown out of the GOP entirely -- but Massie easily swatted that away and won 81-19, so you can't say he only lost because of Trump. He went toe-to-toe with Trump on COVID in 2020 and won overwhelmingly.

Massie lost because he went from being perceived as a quirky but lovable nerd who seemed to genuinely believe everything he said, to looking like a clout-chasing influencer who cared more about getting TV time with Democrats on an issue he clearly never cared about until five minutes ago than he did about representing his voters.

I will not pretend to know enough to weigh in on this theory, but it certainly sounds plausible. More importantly, it directly rebuts the notion, ridiculous when both parties are infested with lunatics, that Trump is somehow an electoral juggernaut whose slightest displeasure can sink a political career.

See also John Sununu's 2024 editorial, "Donald Trump Is a Loser," which goes into some detail on how a Trump-led Republican party fared in past elections. While Sununu wrongly predicted a loss in 2024, I'd chalk that up to Biden's failure as President and the poor choice of Kamala Harris as a replacement -- combined with an electorate that had largely forgotten how awful Trump was, or hadn't paid enough attention in the first place to realize that the first time.

I have no predictions for the next election, but consider this: The Republicans know their polling stinks and appear to hope to gerrymander themselves out of trouble.

“A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings. Socialism is an alternative to capitalism as potassium cyanide is an alternative to water.”
