The back-handed insults directed at Republicans in general are weak, and the profanity is self-degrading, but I agree with the general sentiment that this show is relentlessly unfunny. The host is unappealing (I will agree that he smirk after each joke falls under the description of shit-eating), the canned laughter jarring, and it comes off as such a self-conscious attempt to be a reverse-ideology version of Weekend Update.

I do think it's possible to critique liberal mores humorously, I'm not one of those "Republicans just aren't funny" types. For instance, this past Sunday's episode of the Simpsons was ruthless in mocking mid-90s PC attitudes, especially as promoted in academia. It was over the top, but satirically spot on. I guess I just think Newsbusted is too strained in its attempts to turn the tables on popular "liberal" news parodies. Not to mention, the shows that it is immitating will insult liberals and democrats as well (I know, I know, it's not balanced) whereas Newsbusted has clearly defined itself as mocking liberal attitudes and ONLY liberal attitudes.

and fling the curses on his neighbors." -Emily Bronte

Wow nothing but curse words and putting down the host. Plus there arguments against conservatives are basically based on what Kos, MSM, and HuffPo tell them.

Tell me which side is brainwashed?

Do you realize how much it costs to run for office? More than any honest man could afford. -Montgomery Burns

What we laugh at is basically conditioned.

We are trained at an early age what is funny by our parents first and foremost and then as we get older we begin to be influenced by the media, our friends and aquaintences,etc.

Most of us were punished in one way or another for laughing in appropriately first by our parents and then by our school teachers and so on.

The problem with society today is it has no conscience, except what the liberal establishment dictates.  Therefore morality, in the Religious sense, no longer exists to a great degree in the schools and in the media.  

The one lesson most of should have learned at an early age is, what can one joke about and what you can't joke about.

The rules laid out in the schools and in the media are clear.  If you are white you can't make any racial comments and you can't say anything derogatory about any religion other than Christianity. 

The jokes center on Conservative Hypocrisy and the Cruelty and insecrity of those same Conservatives.  These jokes tend to get personal and deal with heart issues of Conservatives, mostly libelous in my opinion.

For the left, the jokes center mainly on phoibles and inconsequential things and rarely get personal and certainly don't deal with heart issues of said Liberals.

What really raises the dander on these libs is that when Conservatives do jokes it hits at the heart of who they are and they don't like it, just like we tend to be a bit defensive when comedians attack GWBs character and not just the manerisms.  Or Conservative thought in general.

(ie; The main theme of the daily show is jokes about how "soft" democrats are and not able to stand up to those nasty Republicans).

For decades the right has laughed off the jokes and had a great time laughing at themselves all the while the left has pushed the boundries farther and farther becoming more insulting and more personal and at the same time becoming more and more sensitive as to what can be said about them.

I read it, but someone said/wrote  "Under 30 and conservative, you have no heart.  Over 30 and liberal and you have no brains."

I think more liberals are mostly a younger group and therefore prone to profanity.

These reactions seem to be written by a very immature group of people. I wonder if they are just too young to know better or old people that never grew up mentally. They disagree but have no clue how to defend their views. They go against everything they preach when their logic is broken. Open mindness, tolerance to other views, free speech, etc...

today. Not just comedies, #1 of all types. Those babies are crying so hard about it over there. Goodnight all.
