Did I just advocate ending satire?

Satire is most needed when the government begins committing atrocities.

Google what that did for Bill Maher at the time.
9/11 comment Bill Maher got fired for. And he wasn't even making a joke. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

Maher demonstrated vastly more integrity than did Stewart.

Daily Kos explains for me
I’ve even known conservatives who go so far as to deliberately spell things wrong so that some “liberal” would correct them and they could look like a a victim of mean academic liberals. And sadly, this tactic works more often than I’d like to admit. It seems to be easier for us to see the base as “stupid,” rather than as using a tactic designed to make us look immoral and elitist in that academic sense. s/spell things wrong/mispronounce words/ http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/2/19/1634327/-How-to-turn-trolls-into-your-best-friends -- Drew |

I learned to do that from Dilbert
Write and important document that needs to be reviewed by the boss. Make a glaring typo. Leave it in. When the boss reviews the document, his attention will be drawn to the typo. Rather than analyze the contents, he will focus on the silly mistake. He will get an ego boost when pointing it out, and be able to put his stamp of authority on the doc when you fix it. The doc will then be approved for next step action. |
