It is OK to engage in principled criticism

But what I despise about the liberal media the most (particularly in the West) is the respect accorded to these comedians whose "comedy" is used selectively to push a partisan agenda, where anyone to the right of Obama is far-Right
These comedians (be it Oliver, Noah or Stewart) are so incredibly powerful that it is just not funny

Humor is used to stifle debate and make some positions "uncool / taboo"

E.g. suppose you want to critique gay marriage. It's not possible the way the terms of the debate are set
Their comedy is increasingly divorced from "reason" which they claim to adore as good "liberals"

But instead fundamentally based in prejudice

Where certain cuss-words are used to demonize anyone you don't like

E.g. Hitler, Homophobe, Islamophobe, misogynist
To be honest, India has not gone down that road to the same extent

Even on a channel like NDTV or a paper like Hindu, it is possible to engage in debate with the other side

Humor is not used to invalidate the opponent totally
