I’d agree with that for the most part but he’s definitely trying to sway public opinion and always has been. When he gets called out or has legitimate push back, he hides behind “I’m just a comedian.”
I say this as a guy who has laughed at him for years and enjoyed his run. But pretending that he’s just making jokes and not a political pundit is kinda douchey.
ETA: to echo the above, there are plenty of things I agree with his “jokes” and efforts on. I’m a Republican and appreciate some of the satire and his efforts toward 9/11 first responders. But he’s still a baby back bitch when it comes to getting called out for bad takes.

He sort of goes back and forth as far as "punditry" goes and maybe I'm just in the weeds of semantics but the guy I responded to implied he does "news" which he certainly doesn't

Yes this is why he’s a hack. He’ll attack and jab but when he gets push back he pussies out with this. It’s a weasel thing to do.
