For years, conservative Americans have suspected that mainstream media isn’t just reporting the news—they’re telling viewers what to think about it. Now, one of television’s most prominent progressive mouthpieces has finally admitted what we’ve known all along, confirming our worst suspicions about the propaganda machine disguised as entertainment.
The confession—and yes, that’s exactly what it was—comes at a time when Americans are increasingly rejecting these self-appointed arbiters of truth. Trust in mainstream media has plummeted to historic lows, and millions of viewers have abandoned networks that treat them like children who need to be instructed on how to process current events. (Imagine that.)
From Daily Wire:
Late-night host Stephen Colbert just admitted that shows like his are meant to instruct viewers on how to think…
While speaking on the topic, Colbert said, “Well, we are like your friend who at the end of the day paid attention to what happened today more than you did. And then we curate that back to you at the end of the day.”
“But it’s really more about how we feel about—or I, as the person who is the vehicle for that—how we felt about today. All those things that might’ve made you confused, angry, or anxious or happy or surprised or something like that,” Colbert added. “I share those feelings with the audience and they laugh or they don’t laugh. And there’s a sense of community there.”
Can you believe this? This guy actually thinks he’s doing us a favor.
Those words came from none other than Stephen Colbert, host of CBS’s “The Late Show,” in a recent interview where he inadvertently pulled back the curtain on late-night television’s true purpose. Notice the language he uses: “curate,” “how we feel,” and most tellingly, describing himself as “the vehicle” for telling viewers how they should emotionally respond to the day’s events.
The Quiet Part Out Loud
Social media erupted when Colbert’s admission went viral. Conservatives everywhere pointed out what they’d been saying for years. “Amazing admission. Basically late night TV is propaganda. They’ll tell you what to think,” one user observed. Another simply noted, “He said the quiet part out loud.”
The sheer narcissism here? Off the charts. Colbert genuinely believes he pays more attention to the news than his viewers do. He’s positioned himself as their superior who must interpret reality for them. This isn’t comedy—it’s conditioning, plain and simple.
Americans Vote With Their Remotes
Perhaps the most telling response to Colbert’s propaganda has come from the free market itself. CBS recently announced it’s canceling “The Late Show” after the upcoming season. Reports indicate the program was hemorrhaging $40 million annually. When Americans discovered they were being manipulated rather than entertained, they simply changed the channel. (Shocking, right?)
Even Colbert’s progressive allies rushed to his defense. Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon called the financial reports “nonsensical.” But numbers don’t lie—Americans have rejected the lecture disguised as laughter.
The death of Colbert’s show represents something larger than one failing program. It signals the end of an era where coastal elites could masquerade their political indoctrination as entertainment. Americans are reclaiming their right to think independently, to form their own opinions without having them “curated” by smug entertainers who believe they know better.
In admitting that late-night shows exist to tell viewers how to think, Colbert has vindicated every conservative who warned about media manipulation. The mask has slipped. Americans can finally see the truth behind the laughter.
