How can you view The Colbert Report, a show that satirized the absurdity of, primarily, President Bush by caricaturing someone stupid/uninformed/naive/hyperpatriotic/silly enough to support him as clever.

But you view someone commenting on the absurdity of President Trump (and, in doing so, highlighting how stupid/uninformed/naive/hyperpatriotic/silly you'd have to be to support him) as hackery? 

Now, maybe you just enjoyed the satire side of the joke more than the straight side. That's fine. But that doesn't mean the straight version of the joke is more hackish than the satire version of the same joke.

I'm going to leave it at this because I'm not trying to derail the thread and we're talking about subjective taste.  I found Colbert Report and The Daily Show with John Stewart to be clever, well written and funny.  I find the easy "c%&kholster" jokes to be the exact opposite of this.  Easy jokes are usually bad ones and the late night gestalt humor is exactly that right now.
