Ustwo, I agree in theory, but not in practice. How many promenant political figures have appeared on the Ali G show? How about Conan O'Brian, Jay Leno, or David Letterman? All of these shows tell jokes about politics that can sometimes be funny because they are true. That does not make them responsible for delivering non-partisan news. Their main goal is to make people watch because tthey can laugh. Crossfire draws in viewers because it makes people think. While this is a generalization, it is still basically true.
