Figured out what bugs me about all the "Daily Show Me-Toos."

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

All those shows... usually on Comedy Central. Samantha Bee, John Oliver, there's a new one with a black guy. Bill Maher on HBO.

It's all the same show, telling one joke over and over, for years. "LOL Republicans."

But some people eat that shit up.

Right.

Stewart was smart to play both sides. He absolutely and admittedly leaned left, but he'd call them on their bullshit too.

Maher can walk that line too at times.

John Oliver doesn't attack the left at all. Ditto for what I've seen of Bee. The new Daily Show with Trevor Noah and the one with Larry Willmore (sp?) are more of the same. People shilling for the Dems while bashing Republicans.

It's way too one sided for anyone with an IQ above 70 to enjoy.

Just seems to me the worst possible way to sway someone's view is to always start your points with "Here's why you're a fucking retard..."
