They are allowed to have double standards, it is only the left and center that aren't allowed that "luxury".

Some people lie to make Obama look bad
NBC Got Rid of Leno Because of Obama Jokes-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:


A number of political blogs and websites have reported that the Obama administration pressured NBC to replace Jay Leno as the “Tonight Show” host because the comedian repeatedly made fun of the president.


The T***h:
This eRumor is false because Jay Leno’s replacement, Jimmy Fallon, has historically been a more consistent critic of the president and congressional Democrats than Leno was.

Democrats were the butt of 713 jokes made by late-night talk show hosts in the first half of 2013, and nearly 300 of those jokes targeted Obama, according to an August 2013 study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs.

“Jimmy Fallon was the toughest on Democrats, with over three times as many jokes about Democrats (240) as Republicans (76),” the study concluded.

It would defy logic for the White House to advocate for a personnel move that brought a more consistent critic of the president and the Democratic agenda to the “Tonight Show.”

An NBC executive said the 62-year-old Leno was replaced by the 38-year-old Fallon to attract younger viewers, according to a Washington Post article.

Saying that all presidents were the butt of late nite jokes is no proof either way of why Leno was removed from the air. If Obama had any part of his removal, you really don’t think that he would let it become public knowledge. It wouldn’t be the first or last unethical act that Obama committed. All I am saying is there is no proof either way so you can keep your convictions for or against.

Since they signed a contract with Conan O'Brien in 2004 to host come the end of Jay Leno's contract, well BEFORE Obama became president in 2009... You are aware that the Tonight Show changed hosts on June 1, 2009 correct? Conan O'Brien took it over but when he discovered that they intended to move the show to a later time slot to accommodate a new show called "The Jay Leno Show", a 1 hour show they intended to slide in at 23:00 EST, sliding "The Tonight Show" from 23:35 to 00:05 EST, he threw a fit and wanted out of his contract. Jay Leno took the show back until Jimmy Fallon took over on February 17, 2014. IF you were correct about Obama having something to do with it, why would they give Leno another show to bash Obama with and then later, they bring Leno back to "The Tonight Show". That doesn't make much sense does it? Perhaps you mean that Obama waited until 2014 to push for his firing. To that I say, if Leno wanted to stay, why did he try to leave back in 2009? He only came back as they NEEDED someone fast.

You theory makes no sense at all. What makes more sense is that he wanted out in 2009, O'Brien threw a fit about getting slid back half an hour and bailed, Leno pretty much had to come back short term until they could line up a replacement. Obama had NOTHING to do with it. Of course I am sure they could have arranged for Fallon to t***sfer his "Late Show" contract to a "Tonight Show" contract and just find someone to fill in on the "Late Show" since both shows are on same network, but they did things the way they did things.

Why NBC got rid of Jay Leno

Comedy seems to be in the eye of the beholder


News leaked out from Hollywood executives that the Obama White House had been pressuring executives at NBC for over two years to replace Jay Leno because the comedian was criticizing Obama almost every night. Obama didn't like it and considered it a 'r****t attack' on him.

After data came to light that $100's of millions had been spent on First Family vacations during a recession, Mrs. Obama's unpopular new laws that changed food in America's schools and other negative news including the disastrous Obamacare roll-out & website mess, Jay Leno took his comedy to a new level and his ratings skyrocketed - none of the other comics dared to be so bold.

NBC couldn't stomach the fact that Leno's jokes about Obama were always right on target about the first black president and left-leaning Democrat executives at NBC were being harassed by Obama himself.


GOLDEN OLDIES FROM JAY


On the IRS:
"I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to get audited by the IRS."

On NSA surveillance:
"We wanted a president who listens to all Americans - now we have one."

On a new IRS commissioner:
"He's called 'acting commissioner' because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."

On the Obama Administration:
"Fox News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told you so!'"

"It is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took the fifth."

"The White House has a new slogan about B******i: Hope and change the subject."

"It's casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they're casually going through everybody's phone calls and records."

On a recent commencement address:
"He told the young graduates their future is bright unless, of course, they want jobs."

On saying he didn't know about the IRS scandal:
"He was too busy not knowing anything about B******i to not know anything about the IRS."

On closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists:
"If he really wants to close it, turn it into a government-funded solar power company. The doors will be shut in a month."

On White House claims of ignorance on the scandals:
"They took 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' out of the Pentagon and moved it into the White House."

On a Chicago man who set a record for riding a Ferris wheel:
"The only other way to go around and around in a circle that many times is to read the official report on B******i."

Concerning the B******i, Associated Press, and IRS scandals:
"Remember in the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden?"


Now the last and I think best:
"These White House scandals are not going away anytime soon. It's gotten so bad that people in Kenya are now saying he's 100 percent American."


Every one of the quotations above was delivered on air by Jay Leno.
