2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Yep. Definitely cancel The Daily Show. It's a bad, bad thing.
Also Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.
Oh, and Have I Got News for You on CNN. That's a new one, but it's funny.
And Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. He talks about Trump every week and makes fun of him.
Wow, so many shows that help Trump, am I right? We need to get these people off our TVs and return to real comedy! Like Perfect Strangers and ALF! Remember ALF?
Believe what you want. But while you're watching six TV shows, conservatives are positioning themselves for an actual coup.
Oh! All that stand-up comedy too! Gotta get rid of all those stand-up comedians. We need good ones like we used to have like George Carl- no wait, he talked about Republican presidential candidates. I know, Richard Pry- no, he did too... Oh! Henny Youngman! Hilarious stuff! "Take my wife... please!"
You're right, a startling number of political comedians seem to betray progressive ideologies and become mysteriously conservative. Must be a coincidence.
Yes, the famously conservative Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. All of them known arch-conservative Trump supporters.
Not to mention, as I said, George Carlin and Richard Pryor- they were huge Republicans before they died.
You've figured it all out.
