    Unfortunately it is one of the reasons the show still holds up, because they are riffing and making references to media and events across the political spectrum.

      True, but they all did have standards. Egregious content was cut from a few old movies got cut because of that. For instance the filmmakers used real footage of the bombing of Japan for the film Invasion of the Neptune Men and they cut all that so it didn’t get broadcast. They thought it tasteless to be riffing over the top of footage of people actually being blown up.

      So yeah Mike is chuddy but he’s not frothingfash levels of chuddy
