I yearn for the days SNL and comedians were not political hacks in disguise.

I postulated because people who don't like Biden want to hear their disdain for him presented in a news program style and people who don't like Trump want it presented to them in a comedy style.  The top rated late night comedians are bashing Trump and the top news networks are bashing Biden...seems like the for-profit media is giving everyone what they want.

Hell, I was convinced Gary Johnson had a shot at getting Libertarians on the map merely because the late night people were taking shots at him prior to the 2016 election.  Seriously, I saw this and I was like "Holy crap...they're talking about him...people are actually going to see this guy exists on prime time.  This is legitimizing." I know the song says you're nobody 'til some body loves you, but really you're nobody til some body makes fun of you.
