anyone feels that their here to distract us more then to really let people know how shitty obama is doing?
Definitely. They're one of the hottest things on TV right now, and all they do is propagandize. They demonize anyone who disagrees with the proposed health care reform, and just generally attempt to make anyone who doesn't fit their 'left-wing' ideal look ridiculous. It's supposed to be a comedy show. I don't watch comedy shows to be preached to about politics.
What about O'Reilly? Glenn Beck? Lou Dobbs? Keith Olbermann? Hannity? Rachel Maddow? Rush Limbaugh? Are they all conspiring to hide what is REALLY going on?
true but I disagree with Reilly, glenn, maddow. Orielly and glenn CAN BE stupid some times but they hold MORE TRUTH then COMEDY central.
I liked Colbert better on Strangers with Candy, and to the OP (it's not the real news it's a comedy show!)
That is, in my opinion, a dangerous trap to fall into. Neither the popular 'left' nor 'right'-wingers are really giving out the truth. It's all bullshit.
I know that but I know mother and son that have that as a REAL resource of news....... and their pretty dumb when I come to think about it.
If they enjoy let them enjoy it I say, it's not like during election years people actually have a choice between the two talking heads who run for President, it's always the same ideology that wins the election.
So, political satire is now an evil conspiracy? God damn! Just kill yourselves, right now! End your misery!
That's when you became a dumbass, and unfortunately when your opinion became worthless. If you ever watched the Daily Show, you would be able to see they make fun on politicians on both sides (the right does get a bit more of the bashing but it is beyond well deserved) complete with video evidence to show how much oh hypocritical they are.
Both 'sides' are the same side. They're both hypocritical liars, and these shows barely scratch the surface. It's all just a distraction.
