I have thought for a long time that the comedy shows about politics were maybe not a great idea. In my opinion, this appealed to many people but it became a substitute for real news. It also trivializes current events and encourages a cynical attitude of making fun of politics. As it turns out politics is a deadly serious matter. I think these comedy shows have damaged our politics. So I am happy to see these go. Everything is not a funny joke in life.
