I actually think Horza's hilarious retorts show his wit. Like the Daily Show, the Late Show and John Oliver he uses over the top humor to show the sheer craziness and non-normal acts, beliefs and mind set of right politics.

And in the end it isn't going to matter to voice your thoughts, this is still Off Topic P1999 forums and those raised a certain way most assuredly aren't going to change their political views now.

If anything through discussion here, I am willing to bet a lot of you have dug deeper into your political values over the years.

I'm going to have to disagree and I hope you understand why by the end.
Trevor Noah sucks, he isn't funny or on point.
John Oliver has had his moments but once he fell into the political satire groove he lost the thing that made him appealing. Fake audience laughs does not a funny man make.

Jon Stewart was funny and made good points. These modern satire show hosts can't even begin to hold a candle to him. Furthermore he actually did some real journalism and then later helped the 911 victims and their families.

I feel like both Noah and Oliver have room and time to grow. We’re able to judge Stewart after his career and remember all his accomplishments. Noah and Oliver just got started on reporting (I don’t think either are true journalists). Noah was also handpicked by Stewart so there might be some potential that Stewart sees.

Colbert has been defanged/declawed because he’s on mainstream TV. Can’t blame him though for wanting to keep his gig.

It's not supposed to be taken seriously here

Some of the lefties go unhinged. Horza isn't one of them.

The perfect analogy to trigger conservative morons, it's a shame Colbert has lost most of his bite since moving to CBS.

Comparing horza to media controlled by the left.
Checks out, Guy has wet dreams about being controlled by the political left.
His daily assertion of obedience on the p99 forums is proof.

This may make his brain short circuit so he will default to something trump to totally stick it to me.

Forget that the right is no longer conservative...

The media is controlled by Billionaires. Billionaires want to make money. That's what "controls" the media -- money. As an aside, the media is also made up of journalists who, along the way, want to do their jobs and report some news.

When you support the party rife with religious zealots and Qtards where the last bastion of sanity tries to walk the line between being crazy enough to get elected and still doing some serious adult work to keep things running, getting called rinos for their efforts, it's no wonder that the media seems to have a left wing bias to you. That's because, unfortunately, that's the side of the line truth and reasonability tend to skew toward these days.

I don't support any party.
Politically i'm all over the spectrum and when I'm forced to pick between two evils, I try to decide based on that spectrum.

You can't sit there and bullshit me into beliving that the majority of media is not bias for the political left. I made no statement regarding the political right. Don't put words in my mouth.

The fact that you think this about me says more about you than it does me.

You have terrible ideas and a bad grasp on politics. If you looked a Joe Biden or Hillary and decided Trump was the lesser of two evils, you're also a moron.

I explained why the media has a bias toward the political left... You can't see yourself objectively, so you don't get it. Everything is left of right-wing extremism. By definition.

Your shortcomings wouldn't bother me if you didn't vote and kept your idocy to yourself. But you don't. And you probably know or are related to people dumber than you which means they might look to you for guidance and they might vote based on that. That affects me.

It doesnt matter. He did it. Russia and trump campaign had a transactional relationship. Their god man can do no wrong, what does it matter. Trump could rape them and they would say "I fell, it went in. Was an accident."
