Comedy Central is a cable and satellite television channel that has a cult following among liberals, and particularly adolescents. It features cartoons, including South Park, and liberal programs including The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert. It airs from the west side of Manhattan.
Shows
- The Daily Show: A so-called parody news show with an extreme leftist POV, hosted by Jon Stewart.
- The Colbert Report: The sister show of The Daily Show, hosted by Stephen Colbert who satirically portrays conservative commentators, mocking them, portraying them as buffoons and inaccurately stating conservative values.
- South Park: An cartoon based around the lives of 4 elementary school children in a Colorado Mountain Town which pokes fun at pop-culture, traditional family values and politics.
Hypocritical Censorship
Comedy Central has been guilty of selective censorship, refusing to show an unoffensive clip featuring the Islamic prophet Muhammad in an episode of South Park. This is despite allowing ongoing obscenity and degradation of Christian beliefs in a number of its programs. This act of censorship was highly ironic, as it came at the end of a double episode dedicated to condemning Fox for refusing to depict Muhammad.
