Washington Post: “President Donald Trump has long been critical of the late-night comedy shows that roast him daily. But his second term has been marked by his hostility toward late-night comics and his administration taking action against the networks that carry these shows. In some cases, networks made programming decisions that carried suspicions of political interference.”
“So, how have the late-night hosts reacted? Not by relenting in their skewering of Trump, his administration or his policies. In fact, they’ve turned up the heat, according to a Washington Post analysis of six late-night comedy shows critical of the president.”
“Since Election Day, Trump has remained the most frequently mentioned individual, and hosts have continued satirizing and critiquing Trump over his policies, scandals and legal troubles.”
“And as his second term progressed, Trump has been mentioned more frequently by these late-night hosts, not less.”
