It has to be funny and cloaked in humor for any vaguely left-ish perspective to get on air in the US, it seems. No blowhards or fuming folks allowed. Just funny liberals.

Which is fine, since I like a good laugh like anyone. But come on, is it mandatory a leftist be a comedian to have their views heard? Or maybe it's because right-wing humor is so awful, and they're just better at getting splotchy-faced and rabid.

Methinks that private US media are better censored than state owned media elsewhere, no?"
