Liberals Aren't Funny

With the introduction of The 1/2 Hour News Hour, we have seen the re-emergence of the meme "Conservatives aren't funny."

I've seen snips of the show, but not a full episode. Reviews were mixed. But everybody on the right was terribly concerned about this "Conservatives aren't funny" tagline. Why?

Conservatives have been funny for 20 years, and the evidence is no farther away than your local radio stations. Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck are all (or can be) exceedingly funny at times. In fact, the success of the talk radio format for conservative radio is what has lead to calls for a return to the Fairness Doctrine.

The truth is, liberals can't do talk radio. They do lots of other media well and get their agenda out through TV entertainment, news, music, and movies. But they can't do talk radio.

Unless they want a Fairness Doctrine for liberal views on TV, liberals should reject the un-Fairness Doctrine.
