Jimmy Kimmel's Joke Count: Trump vs. Biden
JIMMY KIMMEL'S LATE-NIGHT JABS: A LIBERAL TV HOST WHO CAN'T HELP BUT TARGET CONSERVATIVES
In a shocking analysis of his late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it's been revealed that the liberal host made a whopping 10 times more jokes about President Donald Trump than Joe Biden since January 2023. The study by Media Research Center's NewsBusters exposed Kimmel's bias, showing that he dedicated an astonishing 92% of his political jokes to conservatives.
But why is Kimmel so fixated on trashing the right? According to the research, the TV host made a staggering 3,584 jokes about Trump alone, while only mustering up a mere 336 jabs at Biden. It seems Kimmel can't resist taking aim at the former president and his allies, including First Lady Melania Trump, tech mogul Elon Musk, and MAGA supporters.
But don't just take our word for it – the numbers are staggering. The analysis of 7,797 political jokes across 369 episodes revealed that conservative figures were the brunt of Kimmel's jokes in a whopping 7,189 cases. In contrast, he made only 565 jokes about liberal figures and a paltry 43 aimed at nonpartisans.
Kimmel's bias extends beyond his jokes too – the study found that since September 2022, a staggering 97% of his guests have been liberals. It's clear that Kimmel is more interested in promoting his own liberal agenda than providing balanced coverage on his show.
But don't worry, folks – Kimmel's comeback show is just around the corner. After being suspended last week due to his ill-timed comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination attempt, Disney announced it would return Jimmy Kimmel Live! to the airwaves on Tuesday. However, in a surprising twist, more than 70 ABC affiliate stations have vowed not to broadcast Kimmel's comeback show.
Nexstar, one of the largest broadcasting conglomerates in the US, has joined Sinclair in boycotting Kimmel's return. The move comes after Disney's decision to suspend production on the show was met with widespread criticism from both conservative and liberal outlets.
As the drama unfolds, it's clear that Jimmy Kimmel is a master of stirring up controversy – but will his comeback show be enough to salvage his reputation as a credible late-night host? Only time will tell.
