Well, neither can anyone prove the contrary. Sense of humor is difficult to quantify and measure, you know.
But tend to agree that the lack of interest in left views and opinions is not a result of the personality or story-telling skills of the messenger. The main reason is the expectations and attitudes of the audience - which tends to be right-wing and generally hostile to left opinions which are viewed as "un-American."
