Seriously, what is the point of this show? Unlike many political humor shows it goes straight for the heart of the issue rather than skirt around it...then misses the point entirely. There is a reason spike TV is the only one who will touch this. At its best it's a apologists diary of Bush's policies even when fellow conservatives are questioning them. At its worst it's utter bigotry towards people even most conservatives aren't hostile towards anymore. I mean come on, France jokes? 2003 called, they want their ethnic slurs back. What passes for humor on this show is essentially "witty" badmouthing and characterization of people who opposed the war. Which means we get the ever so original, highly overweight Michael Moore shooting his mouth off. What comedic genius! Then they'll trot out a horribly skewed Moby (who is acting more like Marilyn Manson) and make fun of him. I guess the reason why they didn't pick on Eminem (who also denounced the war) is because he's too popular. Wow, only picking on those who won't fight back...what creative courage. I know conservatives want some form of entertainment skewed towards their interests...(you know, aside from every single news channel and half the networks on the air) but this show just makes them out as a pack of rabid dogs. Oh, I forgot taking cheap shots at the kennedy's...any titanic jokes they want to crank out while hitting these fads in the height of their popularity? It's not that the show presents a right wing perspective, it's how badly it does it. Shows like King of the Hill are quite conservative but still manage to explain their take on a given issue and use logical evidence to support it. Even if you don't agree with what they are doing, they make you think and are almost always enjoyable. "This just in" does none of this. It feels like it really wants to be family guy but didn't really put in the effort (as evidenced by its complete lack of star power, Hell Family guy was able to get Luke Perry in its second season.). To sum it all up, the show lacks originality, characters with depths, interesting plot and (the final nail in its coffin for a show of this genre) humor. its just not funny, is more often than not offensive, and is actually painful to watch. The worst thing of all is that it is taking away valuable time that could be spent airing MXE, which is funnier, and has a hell of a lot more star power.
