No. I'm just not in the habit of getting my political commentary from Comedy Central anymore than I am of getting my news from Hannity or Beck.

Is it really this ****ing hard for you people to comprehend?

Wait, bipolar halfwits ... and fauxbots think it's fine for editorializing and commentary to be lies.

And yet .... faux central is where you can find the lies, and comedy central is where they're exposed. FUNNY **** !!!

What is sad is that the political commentary on Comedy Central is more honest than the political commentary on Fox news. What is further sad is people offering any excuse for being intentionally dishonest.

I never once said that. I'm still back at the hysterical handwringing over the "gotcha" attitude when you guys point out the obvious: Sean Hannity is not news.

What makes you think that's such a deep and impressive thought process going on there? Anyone with an IQ above 80 would know the difference so why are you so proud of yourself and chortle with such snarky satisfaction every time you think you're pointing something out to the rest of us?

No excuse has been given as far as I can see. Just a reminder that no one with any intelligence gets their news from Hannity or Beck.

Try speaking to what I said instead of these garbled misrepresentations that you wish I had said.

I'm astounded at the knee jerk 'it ain't news' crowd that comes out in defense of the lies whenever they are exposed.

This lame excuse trotted out by Fox apologists every time they get caught lyin' again makes the whole pathetic charade ****ing hilarious.


::We don't care that they lied.:: w.t.f.
I hate Hannity, I hate Beck and Rush, too. So I guess I'm not in the category of people who are hurt by all that kind of "stuff"

No one has defended the lie. Please point me to where they have or STFU with your idiocy.

It just needs to be pointed out when one of you gets going with your cackling handwringing that the only person you are impressing with your statement of the obvious is yourself.

The rest of us have known all along that Hannity is not news.

Goddamn is this really that ****ing hard for you?
