the news, and American politics.

I say no.

They really make you think about issues in a different way and ask yourself, "Well you know I saw that news report, but the way Jon Stewart puts it, maybe I should look into it a little further." "Maybe what they are telling me really is nonsense and I am not getting the whole story." I think that they help make people think through comedy.

Plus they add some relief to the madness. If you do not laugh, you are setting yourself up for stress related issues. Laughter helps in so many ways.
