Author here. I agree with your point. The show is not only news but a political cartoon and most of my arguments could share the same criticisms that come with those formats.

However, I do think the show differentiates itself with the extra mile it often goes to act against issues (even if the call to action is small). It engages the audience further and I think has led to some misplaced idolization in a time where talk is especially cheap. From there, viewers' critical thinking faculties might start to break down and their biases, strengthen.

Thank you for commenting critically :)
