there's often a meanness to right wing "satire." If one listens to Limbaugh, Ingraham, Coulter, Levin, or any of the rest, there's a "punching down" aspect to their "humor." It just comes with the territory, and their audiences love it.
It's called a reaction to urban elites telling people how they should live there lives.
yes, because Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson and the rest aren't urban elites.
I didn't say it was rational. But we have a host of people who know how to play to an aggrieved crowd.
This discussion was not about humor directed at "elites" but about "punching down".
It was my understanding that ml1 was speaking of making fun of the poor or minorities.

Dennis Miller, Jeff Foxworthy, Norm Macdonald (up in the air about him)
One of these things is not like the others (hint, it's not Norm).
Right wind satire? Is this now what we are calling racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, and bigoted rants?

Bill Maher said that David Hogg is "bullying" Laura Ingraham for starting a boycott of her advertisers.
Bill is a d*ck.

I watched that last night. I was surprised but his panel pushed back. I usually agree with his viewpoint but not at all on this one.
Name calling is kind of lame dude, me.

Miller is the only one of them who to my knowledge does conservative "humor." And he hasn't been funny in decades.
