A lie doesn't become truth with repetition - no matter how much you would like it to. Again, the leftwing for the last eight years has dominated in comedy. Al Franken, Colbert, Tina Fey, all very leftwing, all very strong comedians.
The Onion, Something Awful, SNL, all very leftwing, all very strong comedy venues.
The guy behind "Family Guy?" Yeah, he's a lefty.
The nearest thing to a successful political comedy the rightwing has is South Park, and that isn't actually rightwing it is Libertarian.
And somehow I don't think that the liberal side of the fence would dominate Hollywood if we didn't know how to make people laugh.
