For years, patriots have watched in disgust as late-night television transformed from harmless entertainment into a nightly propaganda barrage against conservative values and President Trump. Now we know exactly how the swamp made it happen.

A little-known FCC staff decision in 2006 essentially abdicated the federal agency's responsibility to enforce fairness standards on broadcast television, according to media experts. This bureaucratic sleight-of-hand allowed networks to flood the airwaves with partisan Democrat talking points while hiding behind the excuse of 'comedy.'

The result? Two decades of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Saturday Night Live serving as unpaid campaign operatives for the radical left, all while using our public airwaves to do it.

The Deep State's Media Coup

Before 2006, broadcast networks faced real consequences for blatantly partisan content. But when FCC bureaucrats quietly changed their enforcement approach, they handed Hollywood elites a blank check to weaponize late-night television against everyday Americans.

'This wasn't an accident,' one media analyst told Breitbart. 'This was a deliberate abdication that allowed the entertainment industry to become an arm of the Democratic Party.'

Think about it: when was the last time you saw a late-night host mock Democrat politicians with the same venom they reserve for conservatives? When has SNL ever portrayed a Republican sympathetically? The answer is never – and now we know the FCC gave them permission to operate this way.

'The American people deserve to know how their public airwaves were hijacked by partisan hacks masquerading as comedians.'

This revelation comes at the perfect time, as President Trump begins his second term with a mandate to drain the swamp and restore accountability to federal agencies. The FCC's role in enabling two decades of anti-conservative propaganda should be at the top of the administration's reform agenda.

Patriots fought back against this rigged system by electing Trump despite the media's coordinated assault. But imagine how much damage this propaganda machine inflicted on American discourse and our elections over the past 20 years.

It's time to hold the FCC accountable for this betrayal of the public trust. Will the Trump administration finally restore fairness to our airwaves?

This explains SO much about what happened to comedy. Can anyone share more details about what specific FCC regulations were changed in 2006?

I stopped watching late night TV years ago because of this exact problem. Used to love Letterman but even he got infected with the liberal bias toward the end.

Finally someone is connecting the dots! I remember when late night TV was actually funny and didn't lecture us about politics every single night. The change after 2006 was so obvious but nobody talked about it.

Exactly right! Johnny Carson never felt the need to push his political agenda on us every night.

The Deep State's tentacles reach everywhere - media, education, entertainment. They've been playing the long game while we weren't paying attention. Thank God people are finally waking up to this coordinated effort.

It's been going on for decades but accelerated massively after 2016. They can't stand that we see through their games now.
