Some Politard was bragging that he has hate listened to NPR every day for the past twenty years.

Think about that for a second...and the level of mental illness it takes to voluntarily subject yourself to something you despise...over and over again.

Maybe he wants to listen to another point of view besides his own?

I mean are you really calling this guy stupid for making it a point to get outside his bubble?

The one I don't particularly care for is Samantha Bee. Never thought she was funny or entertaining at all.

But it’s her turn damn it! We MUST have more female comedians regardless of whether they are funny or not

He wasn't interested in "diversity of opinion"...I thought I made that clear when I used the terms "Politard" and "hate listen".

Oh, whatever would we do without celebrities?!

The only show of its kind cutting against the grain (that other late night shows would give undue attention to btw) would have bad ratings?

You know nothing, So-n-So.

He's just calling things how he and the majority of Americans see what is going on in the world, if you don't like it change the channel. They make jokes for a living and Trump jokes just write themselves.

This is exactly why I listen to a few of the better National Review podcasts. "The Editors" is particularly good. Intelligent people having intelligent discussions - even if I think their viewpoints are narrow-minded and hypocritical, at least I can trust that they are trying to apply a consistent political philosophy and sincerely want what's best for our country. The same can't be said for the mouthbreathers on cable television on the idiots who think watching 30 minutes of Fox News (or any network, but Fox is egregious) is sufficient to form an opinion on anything.

Sadly, he thinks someone gives a shite about what he thinks.

Nope. We choose not to watch. We aren't out defacing Kimmel signs like Trump's star. Or screaming. Or in therapy for stress over him. Or demanding he lose his job. We just say "screw him".

See the difference?

People forget how much SNL and the late night shows shite on Blill. It’s not really about politics all of the time it’s the material they are given. You can’t deny that Trump gives comedians a ton of shite on almost a daily basis just off of his Twitter. You might hate Obama as a president but he was pretty boring.
Kimmel really started gong hard when his son almost died and they just had stopped some health care thing for kids. DACA or something? Said he had money so it was fine but his son may have died if not.

Anyway stop giving them material and they won’t go as hard. As I said before I miss the old Kimmel and he needs to stop spending 15 minutes 4 nights a week on Trump. It aggravates the shite out of me. I WANT MORE JUDGE JAMES!

I haven’t watched him in a while because of his obsession over Trump. I quit following him on social media too. It was just too much. Last night my wife turned it in and within 2 minutes I was done with it because it was just annoying.

People couldn’t stand when Obama was made fun of but now it’s ok for Hollywood.

No, the only thing you made clear with those terms is that you're just as much of a "politard" as the guy you're referring to.

No.


It sure seems like you are. What's the point of your post then? Even if he "hate listens" as you say, he's still hearing a point of view that opposes his.

I've literally not watched a late night tv show in years and I'd probably agree with the hosts.
Jesus why watch something you don't like?

Its not what you say, its how you say it. There were great jokes about Clinton and Bush, but now theyre just angry newspeople that arent even doing comedy.

Evidently, the ooppression olympics are an obsession of people on both sides of the political spectrum.

Because it's the quickest and easiest path to power/authority in this country currently.
