It has been a common retort among critics, especially in the aftermath of Stephen Colbert’s cancellation, that the late night comedy shows are just liberal group therapy sessions, but on Monday, NBC’s Seth Meyers decided to confirm these claims in an appearance on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast. According to Meyers, his goal for Late Night is to make a show that is “both cathartic…
War is a nasty business, which is why it is advised that starting one with a country much stronger than you is a bad idea, but for Comedy’s Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, and NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers, outrage is better directed at the United States because we are supposedly complicit in Israeli war crimes.

Even by its own standards, the weekly Friday news recap featuring PBS News Hour host Geoff Bennett, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks was especially tone-deaf and unintelligent. The trio would have you believe that Columbia University settling with the Trump administration is both a threat to universities through “institutional capture”…
