    You can't really satirize people if you don't listen to their point. The knock on today's late night comedy is not that it pokes fun at politicians (Carson did that nightly) but that the hosts obsessively focus on partisan side-taking & leave far less space for apolitical jokes.https://twitter.com/MikeDrucker/status/1106191242122199040 …

        Also, if Carson made a joke about a politician, it'd be FUNNY, and even the politician's supporters could laugh at it. Today it's mostly "clapper humor," only used as a signifier of tribal loyalty.

        The fact that Drucker is making this about Republicans IS the point. He's *admitting* there's a partisan bias there.

        Correct. Carson made fun of their personalities, their foibles, their quirks, their gaffes, and so on. Most of these "jokes" are just partisan flag-waving.

        Political views side, your point is valid. There are many comedians that go too far, ranting instead of satirizing. Having said that, with Trump it's hard to stop. There's just SO MUCH content every single day!

        "I support that buffoon and take offence when you make jokes about what a buffoon he is and how his supporters must be too." Snowflake. Switch back to Fox.

        Agree with your general analysis but disagree they are intending to sway anyone. It's strictly playing to the base. Nothing they say persuades.

        MIke is as partisan as it gets so I'm not surprised this goes completely over his head
