One of the things that really concerns me is the nastiness of Sunday morning news shows being pushed into comedy.

RELATED: Collusion is on both sides

This has been around a long time, even the Reagan administration worked their messages into TV shows. Politics and entertainment have worked hand-in-hand for years.

But this collusion between Jimmy Kimmel is just nasty, because he was pretending to be speaking from the heart. According to the Daily Beast, Kimmel was being given talking points by Chuck Schumer. The talk show host presented a story as a highly personal thing that happened to his child. This should put a chill through everyone.

And President Donald Trump should call Schumer out on this.

The other thing that is disturbing with the Kimmel collusion is that the media should be aghast about what happened, but instead they’ve hoisted him on their shoulders, making him a star on the health care issue.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
