Roger Ebert about pundits negative effects on orderly and constructive disscusions

Republicans are hilarious. This was a common criticism of the left in the US, priot to the John Stewart coming to the daily show. Older people have an older sense of humor, and older americans are represented more heavily in the GOP. Adam Sandler is a NY Republican. Norm MaCDonald is no liberal. Chris Farley was and his family is conservative leaning. There is no shortage of funny republicans, but our political structure caters to older sensibilities, so the humor can be a bit more dated. Have you ever watched Brian on Fox and friends?

We and moderates are the ones that incinerate political correcness. Thank the abhorance of liberalism for the funnier aspects in South Park.

I didn't say Republicans aren't funny, I said they aren't using humour properly. The Daily Show makes light of politics and have a bit of a liberal bias. Any similar attempts that I've seen lately with a conservative slant(An American Carol) just come off as mean spirited to me.

American Carol blew. I wouldn't consider the Daily show "a bit" biased either, but hey, I'm not Canadian, so I don't know where you're coming from.

It is left leaning, they make fun of Republicans more than Democrats. They do have both conservative and liberal leaning guests, though, and Stewart usually treats them with respect and lets them speak their piece. I don't think it's exactly the evil leftist propaganda machine you're making it out to be.

At least we can agree that American Carol blew.

You're all forgetting that comic masterpiece, Fox's 1/2 Hour News Hour. That stuff was brilliant.
