Former US President Donald Trump has once again stirred controversy, this time by calling for the cancellation of several high-profile late-night television shows. In a fiery statement, Trump targeted hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon, accusing them of promoting 'fake news' and 'biased reporting'.
Trump's Fiery Critique
Trump, known for his combative relationship with the media, took to social media to express his disdain for these shows, labelling them as 'disgraceful' and 'unfair'. He claimed that the hosts consistently misrepresent facts to push a liberal agenda, further polarising American viewers.
Public Reaction
The reaction to Trump's comments has been mixed. While some supporters echoed his sentiments, critics argue that his demands infringe on free speech and artistic expression. Many viewers took to social media to defend the shows, highlighting their satirical nature and role in holding public figures accountable.
Network Responses
As of now, the networks hosting these shows have not issued formal responses. However, industry insiders suggest that Trump's remarks are unlikely to impact programming, given the shows' strong ratings and loyal fanbases.
This latest outburst adds to Trump's long history of clashing with the entertainment industry, further cementing his reputation as one of the most polarising figures in modern politics.
