Well, in season four, they pretty much have been exclusively foaming-at-the-mouth hate pieces against conservatives when there are any relevancies to politics: against the boy scouts, against the death penalty, for prostitution, and for sex education devoid of abstinence. And these are all cases where the media can sometimes be a little politically correct on the conservative side. Even though their correctness is very contrived and purposely counterproductive, it should be no wonder by the DUmmies love them so much!

Looks like they started out apolitical (season 1) took on some political targets left and right (seasons 2 and 3), got in some political hot water with their puppetmasters, and became obedient, little Stalinist lackies (season 4). Bill Maher, please pick up the courtesy phone...
