Reply #10: It's humorless, excessively didactic, too serious, and too "PC" [View All]

No one likes a Nanny telling them how to feel, act, behave, or interact. CONSTANTLY. And way too much tut-tutting at anyone who doesn't meet The Standard of Behavior That Is Expected of Progressives (when plenty of Democrats run the gamut from progressive to conservative, and have a wide range of views and attitudes). If you want to appeal to Democrats, you've got to include those moderate and conservative Democrats...you know, the ones who helped get Obama elected. The ones who aren't as "liberal" as Janine Garofolo.

That's just the truth.

You can agree with many their views and still find them boring as hell, too.

SNL veers to the left, but they usually manage to be FUNNY. They don't take themselves too seriously. That's the trick.

Limbaugh is an asshole, and he maintains his impressive market share by appealing to stupid people, telling them that they are the little guy, getting fucked, and he's their spokesman, and also by pissing people off (they listen to him to shake their fists, and tell others how "awful" he is). And, not infrequenty in un-PC fashion, being "funny." Air America drones on --too much finger wagging, too much "We All Feel This Way" when we DON'T all feel "This Way" and .... they are just NOT FUNNY. Even when they TRY to be....

I just don't need reinforcement of my views, from people who are NOT FUNNY and who are BORING.

No shooting the messenger.
