On Monday afternoon, Media Research Center (MRC) President David Bozell joined Andrew Wilkow on The Wilkow Majority to rip into the glaring double standards, stale partisan groupthink, and blatant favoritism dominating today's corporate media landscape.
From late-night comedy's financial losses and lame "jokes" to the soft treatment reserved exclusively for Democrats, Bozell and Wilkow exposed how legacy networks continue to sacrifice their own credibility to shield the Left while aggressively targeting conservatives.
Bozell highlighted the absolute absurdity of the current media landscape, noting that modern late-night shows have entirely abandoned the classic, broad-appeal blueprint perfected by icons like Johnny Carson in favor of cheerless, ratings-killing partisan echo chambers.
Unsurprisingly, the conversation exposed the massive disparity in how political figures are handled by network journalists. Bozell detailed how reporters like Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker openly complain about getting a full hour of access with a Republican president, while graciously giving Democratic figures a complete pass.
Late-night TV is cratering.

Bozell also hit back at the media's manufactured outrage over Donald Trump attending the NBA Finals to cheer on his hometown New York Knicks, contrasting it with the glowing "first fan in chief" coverage historically showered upon Democrats like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton when they attended major sporting events.
