We get it. You have one sided views,😱 you insult those who don't have your views through condescending 'shout at the screen' techniques, snarkly reinforce the views of others who have your views. My way or no other way, throw a tantrum because democracy is only good if it works for me, I'm right your wrong politics, and your opinions will never change. Got it. 🤗 Don't see the point of tuning in, he has nothing new to say. He's right, and you're wrong unless you agree. Same old, same old.

You know the episode of South Park where they all got hybrid cars and thanked each other about how awesome they were? That's what people that watch this show do with each other. It's not well sourced, it's one sided, it's mildly hateful, but presented as legitimate news. People just affirm what they already believe and share it with each other in this snarky format. Going back to season one there are scores of blatent lies, no point in continuing this abomination.

What an original idea: a snarky, condescending and snobby host spreads mirth among Upper West Side limousine liberals as all their biases are reinforced at the expense the city and the taxpayer. Using humor high school freshman boys find hilarious, pasty British scold informs America of its many embarrassing historical faux pas with no mention of any good or prosperity the US ever provided it's citizens and the world. A weekly reminder of how perfectly reprehensible or country is, this show is don't missTV
