So bad it's good is so good it fights bad

Has anyone else noticed the recent trend towards using parodies to make a statement?

Despite the obvious rivalries between Comedy Central's Colbert report and CNN's Bill O'Reilly, the two shows have many things in common.

1. They both make convincing arguments to further their point of view
2. They both refuse or deny evidence to the contrary
3. The audiences that watch them both believe they are slightly wittier or more sly then the others who watch the opposing show.

After contemplating these similarities, you begin to realize that everyone is always trying to impose their ideals onto you. Explicitly or implicitly, theres always an agenda
