Freedom of speech? Yeah, I guess.

While they may be criticizing him now, some of their "takes" likely prepped a portion of the population for the MAGA life. Definitely a lot of "both sides" content. While I absolutely feel the "both sides" sentiment, I'm coming from a leftist perspective. I see both sides as supplicant to wealth and power to varying degrees, but they are very different in other important ways.

From what I recall, their "both sides" was more some bullshit "horseshoe" perspective that equated outspoken LGBT+ "extremists" with christo-fascists. Admittedly, it's been quite a while since I've seen an episode so maybe they did have better takes over time.
