A complete travesty

The 1/2 Hour News Hour is a complete debacle in every way. For one, it is just not funny. Even the audience its meant for (conservatives) has mostly given it a bad reaction (according to RightWingNews.com). That in itself (show meant for conservatives) presents another problem.

First it implies that the Daily Show and Colbert Report are liberally biased. While Stewart and Colbert may be liberal, the Daily Show is actually quite central, about 60-40. The tilt only being there due to a currently republican president. Just so conservatives realize this, making fun of Bush doesn't necessary make something completely liberal. Its audience has cheered Colin Powell, John McCain and even Trent Lott, while making fun of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry many times. The Colbert Report just echo's conservative thought. I think Joe Scarborough is a big fan.

Second, the Fox News Channel, a supposedly "news" channel has had major criticism for being conservatively biased. And now, they air a self-proclaimed conservative comedy show. LOL

In addition, why is the Fox News channel airing this. For one, the Fox News channel is supposed to be a "News" channel. Comedy Central airs its fake news programs since it is a "Comedy" channel. Fox News has already been attacked for spreading false information (most recently Obama's supposedly religious youth terrorism school. Proved false BTW) and now this.
