When it first started, his old show used to be pretty fair- no sacred cow was safe and he would put together a panel of interesting people from all sides of the political spectrum and let them go at it.
But, over time, I think he figured out that it's easier to make it in the entertainment biz if you just bash conservatives and adopt all of the old, tired liberal positions.
I agree. I actually went to see a taping for two shows at NBC studios in NYC. He balanced the panel nicely and pretty much slammed everybody. He also didn't have any of those vile snarky and disgusting comments like he has now.

He moved the show and himself to LA, where diversity of opinion is not allowed. Instead of fighting or merely submitting lamely to the thought police in the entertainment/stripper industry out there, he decided to become commandant of them.
He's just a surly unfunny vicious bitter animal now.
