Oliver, Colbert, Kimmel, Maddow and etc are fantastic at making fun of serious events and politics. Breitbart and Limbaugh are fantastic at what they do to cover events from their audience point of view. Question: Is there a serious Radio/TV channel for Liberals (Breitbart or Limbaugh caliber)? And more importantly is there a great comedy Radio/TV channel for conservatives (Oliver, Colbert, Kimmel, Maddow caliber). Or are both mutually exclusive?
The Plight of Conservative Comedy: Where's the Right's Daily Show? Political philosophy isn't what keeps Republican-leaning comics from succeeding—it's corporate hurdles, cultural forces, and the demographics of show business. https://www.theatlantic.com/enterta...dy-wheres-the-rights-em-daily-show-em/283937/
There will never be a serious call in liberal talk show unless they only allow liberals to call in. (Unlike Rush who claims to put them at the front of the line.) Because everyday all any conservative will do is simply ask, "How are we going to pay for it all?" No conservative comedians, but libertarians are funny. Keep your eye on Tv's Andy Levy. He played an Ed Mcmahon character on FOX and he is very intelligent and witty, not vulgar.
Simply ask about "how to pay for it". Hm, the liberals can now as the same question. Poetic justice at its best.
Political comedies are generally for people that don't know whats going on and require social proof to establish what to think(liberals rarely think for themselves). This is why they watch comedy shows. As some of you may know, the most popular comedy shows use laugh tracks so as to establish to the non-thinking audience of when something is funny and when they should laugh. Rarely do people who watch these shows laugh because something said was funny, but because they hear laughing, so their brains subconsciously tell them they are supposed to laugh. Once a person watches these shows, like Last week with John Oliver, and starts laughing, they are now committed to the cause. They've taken an action by laughing and will now want to remain consistent in their choice to laugh at whoever's being made fun of. This is how liberals are brainwashed. Some of you might be thinking I'm full of it, so I'm going to prove how these comedy shows brainwash you into thinking your watching something great, when you're actually watching garbage. Now, the Big Bang Theory is one of the top Comedy shows of all time. It's been running 10 years and people tune into it every week because it's supposedly so funny. But here is what the show looks like if there is no laugh track. You'll see there is nothing funny about it. After watching that, you'll see that if you like comedy shows, it's not because they are funny. It's because you're being brainwashed to laugh on que by the master social psychologists that run that show. Everyone is susceptible to these kind of mind games, but people who don't want to think for themselves are the most susceptible to watching comedy (political or otherwise)
