Bernie Goldberg: It ‘Absolutely Is Open Season’ on Donald Trump by Late Night

‘They were praying that Donald Trump would win because he is a joke writer’s dream come true’

EXCERPT:

GOLDBERG: "It really is. Absolutely open season. This is unprecedented. Jokes are the liberal — you know what? Jokes are the liberal editorial and liberal op-ed version of — comedy is the equivalent of that except — except that jokes have more influence than most editorials. I’ll give you a personal example. People have said to me personally, 'Sarah Palin, what a dufus. I mean, she said she could see Russia from her house.' She never said that. Never said that. Tina Fey said that on 'Saturday Night Live' but jokes work their way into the bloodstream of the culture in a way that editorials don’t. You know what? You could write all the editorials, Bill, let me write the jokes and we’ll see who has more influence with millenials. It will be me."
