Papa Bear Is Just Lashing Out in Grief: Bill O’Reilly Mourns ‘Stephen Colbert’
Posted in: Uncategorized
On his Fox News show Monday night, Bill O’Reilly shared a viewer email that read, “G’day from Oz, Bill. Didn’t think it was possible that CBS could go more left than Letterman, but it has with Colbert.” (Nice to know Australians are obsessing about America’s line-up of late-night talk-show hosts.) The response from O’Reilly:
“Traditionally, late night has been light and breezy, with a minimum of political posturing. Carson and Leno set the tone for that. But Colbert has built an entire career on pleasing the left. And if you don’t believe me, check out the reportage on his ascension. The far-left websites and writers are thrilled. So he has to compete with Fallon and Kimmel, who are basically high-energy guys who wanna have a good time on their shows. It’d be hard to fathom that 40% of Americans who describe themselves as conservative will watch Colbert. And that’s a lot of folks to lose from the jump. But Colbert will have good writers and surely he knows his challenge. Place your bets now.”
Of course, it’s hard to fathom that the 56% of Americans who describe themselves as moderate or liberal are watching O’Reilly, and he seems to be doing pretty well for himself.
