I don't judge things by intent or purpose. I judge things by results. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Colbert/Stewart are having a similar effect as Hannity/Rush re: destroying social cohesion.

First, Rush/Hannity maybe isn't funny (to you) but they are entertainment for millions of people. In fact, they blurred the lines between news and entertainment first. The Daily Show, etc. are merely an extension of the concept. All of these people are entertainers. And whether cynically or based on some sincere…

I think Colbert, Stewart etc. can be hilarious. But they mostly gin up hatred of the "other side" (Conservatives) through derision at best and demonization at worst. They never give their opponents the benefit of the doubt and assume the worst intentions for every policy trotted out by the GOP. They make lots of…

Absolutely this. Colbert/Stewart/Oliver/Bee want to be (or accept being labeled as) the defenders of all that is right and good, pseudo-journalists who (unlike the lazy real media) are *really* going to hold public officials accountable. Then whenever people criticize them, they hide behind "I'm just a comedian!" …

How do you know the Shark identifies as a "she"? Bigot.

Lol. You have no clue.

Even neglecting the poor? You are one tough customer.

Yes, now thanks to science, I can find relief from drudgery in an endless variety of internet porn and fast food restaurants.

Not here to downplay the seriousness of slavery or genocide, but the question is whether these things are unique in history. For nearly 3000 years, the history of virtually all human societies is rife with conquest and subjugation. Does Britain belong to the British? Or should they return it to the Saxons? Or is…

Fwiw, my white wife hated this movie.

Every time Oliver DESTROYS something, the opposite happens. Brexit, Trump, etc. Guess this means Marine Le Pen will be president of France and Geraldo will win that coveted Pulitzer.

"Exeunt" me doesn't make sense.

The best celebrity memoir was Norm Macdonald's Based on a True Story. Probably because it was not a memoir.

But it's never been easier to be an asshole! So I guess it has that going for it.

"Enjoy Bob Saget!"

"I sleep in a racing car, do you?"

Stop the war on clowning! Unleash the potential of a clean clown-fueled economy!

It's a little sad…it's the death of an artform. There is a craft of clowning. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), there are much better forms of entertainment around such that clowns aren't all that amusing to children. But they do some things really well. It's kind of like excellent penmanship or calligraphy,…

I remember in the early 90s, RC Cola was the last major cola company to switch to aluminum cans from steel ones. RC Cola is definitely the reactionary's drink of choice.

I'm just sad that there won't be an RC Cola ad in response that is just 30 seconds of cops beating and tear gassing protestors.
