A Socialist characteristic: taking themselves very seriously and not liking divergent views. In the Leftist world, “diversity” (and any and everything else) is only a means of implementing Socialism. Afterwards, “diversity”, etc., is fine as long as it follows the party line.
They hunt down all who dare wander off the plantation.
Better than Red Eye!
Is this really the reason Leno’s leaving? NBC didn’t seem to mind when Carson lambasted politicians. I guess they’ve changed since then ... as long as the bashing is directed toward the right it’s okay, but don’t bash the left?
Don’t be led that Leno is anything more than a TV personality. Jay Leno is an entertainer and Jay is for Jay and nothing more.
The Fox broadcast network is just as leftist as the others
Matt Towery wrote on the conservative Town Hall website that Leno despite being a liberal is like Barry Goldwater when compared with David Letterman.
I know that Jay Leno, like most on network TV, is a self-proclaimed liberal, but I could care less. Next to David Letterman, he looks like Barry Goldwater, Tower wrote.
Towery described Leno as an equal opportunity offender comic, who doesnt back away from poking fun at Democrats when its warranted.
The critics generally hate Leno, because to them hes too much a part of average America. He doesnt have the endlessand I mean endless sarcasm of Letterman and actually refrains from attacking people. Hes not cutting edge. Hes too much the apple pie American. Oh and hes too funny to a majority of Americans, Towery wrote
Consider the source: “Politico”
As I recall, they all were anti-Bush/Reagan , pro Clinton/Obama, so I'm not sure taking on a late night talk show would be worth the investment if the host is not conservative all through.
A lot goes out when chatting with guests and the guests themselves are representative of the host.
We'll see.
Saw a documentary on Johnny Carson recently.
After two grueling hours of viewing his self destroyed family and personal life, as is fitting for contemporary (entertainment, a few who knew him well chimed in with, “no one ever knew whom voted for; he was an equal opportunity mocker. Why would he want to alienate half of his audience?”

Sounds like McLame.
“Socialist characteristic: taking themselves very seriously and not liking divergent views. In the Leftist world, diversity (and any and everything else) is only a means of implementing Socialism. Afterwards, diversity, etc., is fine as long as it follows the party line.”
Yep.
Leno was about as down-the-middle as one can get.
When Carson was there, NBC wasn’t fully owned and operated by the DNC/OFA.
Why would the right “bemoan” anything about NBC?
“Leno was suffering for his barbs against President Barack Obama.”
Yeah because empERROR Zero has thin skin and gets angry if someone refuses to blow rainbow platitudes up his marxist a$$.
I’m going to affix that target to the top of my truck now.... /sarc
I'm quite sure that's the case.. In Carson's NBC era, they poked fun at all sides... nowadays, schwacking democrats is almost verboten.
I wouldn’t get too excited about leno. He seemed to be one of the front men for the king during the election run. He’s doing this just to annoy his bosses right now who are about to give him the hook.
I'd say it's more likely all of his jabs at NBC. From one of this week's monologues, for example:
According to several reports, scientists say they are getting closer and closer to being able to do Jurassic Park-style cloning of extinct species, Leno told his audience. Imagine that. Things that were once thought to be extinct could be brought back from the dead. So theres hope for NBC. It could turn around.
You cannot make jokes about Obama...he has a very thin skin. That’s why I love FR!!!!!!!
