“I used to watch McFarlane’s shows until he made it a point to politicize them.”

Like the episode where Peter and Bill Clinton start hanging out and Lois gets mad because Clinton is such a bad influence?

Or when Chris was trying to join the Young Republicans Club and as an initiation they had to prank Clinton, who came out of his house naked singing, “It’s a wonderful day to be nude”.

They hammer celebrities pretty hard and news anchors too. The flaws in Brian’s liberal leanings are sometimes good fodder for bits.

I’m not pretending it’s balanced perfectly but they do spread it around and nobody is exempt.

Your comment is valid, though. What you are talking about is rife in the Simpsons. Whiny preachy liberalism that increasingly doesn’t even try to be funny. I wouldn’t watch Family Guy if it were like that.

The Simpsons have gotten more blatant with their BDS in the past couple seasons. Used to be a fairly apolitical program.

The biggest problem for them is that when they attack Bush etc. it’s just NOT FUNNY - regardless of point of view.
