Winning political satire
24 March 2007
The 1/2 Hour News Hour serves up a funny roasting of news events and personalities from an absolutely unique viewpoint -- the conservative side of the political spectrum. And it does so with at least as much result as its over-rated competitors on the political left (The Daily Show, etc.). But then, there is so much about the political left to ridicule, and such a dearth of comedy programs doing it! Besides fast-paced skits the show features its own gag commercials that manage to clobber with humor everything from Hollywood's intellectual pretensions to the ACLU's innate inability to recognize its own comic potential. The original episodes aired on Fox News Channel won the sweepstakes for viewers in their cable time slots.
