The CBS Access series "The Good Fight" features a plotline involving a Russian student facing deportation who claims to be the woman from the alleged Donald Trump "pee tape." The script includes dialogue about urinating on a bed previously used by Barack Obama in a Moscow hotel suite. The hosts criticize the show's writing and the persistence of the dossier narrative in popular media.
The Good Fight, FBI Interrogation and Racial Commentary
A scene from "The Good Fight" depicts a Black woman being interrogated by FBI agents regarding her attempts to confront a presidential candidate. The character accuses the prosecutor of building a career by "maxing out innocent black men" and criticizes white supporters of the candidate. The hosts find the acting mediocre but the dialogue notable for its aggressive racial framing.
The daytime talk show "The View" reportedly saw a ratings boost by pivoting from celebrity gossip to intense political drama. This phenomenon is compared to the "Colbert Effect," where late-night hosts like Stephen Colbert gained viewers by catering exclusively to an anti-Trump audience. However, there is speculation that this ratings growth is fleeting and relies on a narrow, highly stressed demographic.
