On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed the recent news of the end of “The Late Show” hosted by Stephen Colbert. Marlow, known for his conservative views, did not hold back in his criticism of Colbert, calling him a “left-wing activist” and accusing him of using his show to promote the Democratic party.
According to Marlow, Colbert’s show was not just a late-night talk show, but a platform for the Democrat establishment. He claimed that when the Democrats needed a go-to interview, they would turn to Colbert and his show. Marlow also accused Colbert of using his show to “electioneer,” or influence the outcome of elections in favor of the Democratic party.
This is not the first time Colbert has faced criticism for his political views. Since taking over as host of “The Late Show” in 2015, he has been known for his sharp criticism of President Trump and his administration. Many have accused him of being biased and using his platform to push a liberal agenda.
But Marlow’s comments take it a step further, suggesting that Colbert’s show was not just biased, but actively working to promote the Democratic party. This raises questions about the role of late-night talk shows in politics and whether they should be held to the same standards as traditional news outlets.
It’s no secret that late-night talk shows have become increasingly political in recent years. Hosts like Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon have all used their platforms to speak out on political issues and criticize the current administration. But is it fair to expect them to remain neutral and unbiased, like traditional news anchors?
Some argue that late-night talk shows are meant to be a form of entertainment and should not be held to the same standards as news outlets. However, with the rise of social media and the influence these shows have on public opinion, it’s hard to deny their impact on politics.
Marlow’s comments also bring up the issue of media bias. While it’s no secret that many news outlets have a political leaning, should late-night talk shows be held to the same standards? After all, they are not reporting on the news, but offering their opinions and commentary.
Despite the criticism, Colbert’s show has been a success, consistently ranking as one of the top late-night talk shows. This raises the question of whether his political views have actually helped his show’s popularity, rather than hindered it.
In the end, it’s up to the viewers to decide whether they want to support a show that is openly biased towards a certain political party. But one thing is for sure, Marlow’s comments have sparked a debate about the role of late-night talk shows in politics and the influence they have on public opinion.
As “The Late Show” comes to an end, it will be interesting to see what direction Colbert takes in his future endeavors. Will he continue to use his platform to promote his political views, or will he take a more neutral approach? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain, his show will be remembered as a significant part of the Democrat establishment, for better or for worse.
