    Exactly what we don't need - more biased, one-sided garbage

    It's hard for me to remember when I liked colbert comedy - but I know I used to. However; colbert, meyers and kimmel seem to have sold their souls to some far left-wing fringe machine that pays them generously to be uncreative, unobjective and unfunny goons for the left. The makers of this bad cartoon decided to - (instead of investing in good writing) - decided to further invest in propagating left-wing ideals and bobblehead left-wing narratives rather than investing in - well - their charter - being funny. It was extremely easy to toon out o of this bad show. Seems a war against comedy has be launched by the left and I don't like it.

    Much funnier than I thought it would be

    Okay, I saw clips of this show on Colbert and although it seemed cute it didn't seem that promising. My husband and I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad we did. It's actually very funny. Excellent parodies of the various news programs. Even short, fake ads that are more hilarious than anything in SNL lately. We binged them in one sitting, but you can just watch a couple of episodes easily, as they only last a few minutes. Of course, Colbert is a producer of this show, so it's geared towards those who have more of an intellectual curiosity. Read: those in the MAGA cult should probably find their comedy elsewhere. All others should watch one or two to see what you think.

    Not funny. Not smart. Not satirical. Just insipid drivel.

    I had to attend two funerals recently. Both were incredibly sad events, full an almost palpable sense of mourning. Both were far funnier than this garbage.

    depressing, not funny, no real satire, no humor, just stupid

    I wish Colbert would just stop with this nonsense. Stick with the safer Late night show, that's where he seems to do better.

    I still blame the Colbert Report for normalizing Drumpf and Magat behavior. My concern is that Magas will once again use this whow to fuel their fire, leave them feeling insulted.

    Yeah, this is cartoon news, yet the cartooney voices are shrieky, loud, high pitched, hard to listen to.

    The whole opackage is so disagreeable, I just can't with this.

    It is as unfunny as it could possibly be. My late husbands funeral had more humor, satire, backbiting, and enjoyable nonsense than this stupid show.

    Very funny!

    Tooning out the News is funny, creative and witty.
