The new humor is a more effective way of baiting the younger generations into closing their minds and attacking what they don't understand out of hand. Some shows are different in that they do not embrace a particular agenda - they use biting and scathing or innocent humore on different points of view with variation. TDS and TCR jovially jostle the left while never missing an opportunity to berate and misrepresent even subtle actions of those on the right (or from conservative democrats). I prefer those who call a spade a spade, not only is that spade is a Republican.
I see your point. But then again, I'm Canadian, so I can watch TDS and TCR without having my political views twisted very harshly. I don't get a say in most of what their talking about. Most of the criticisms against TDS or TCR are easily deflected though, because most Republicans don't understand how to properly use humor to get their message across.
