Obama had 6 appearances on the show. McCain had 13.
It's a comedy show. When a particular party chooses to defend positions that are not supported by evidence or logic, they are going to say shit that gives the show material.
But then this is Fair and Balanced Voat, downvoat away.

That sounds like a pretty good tactic, actually.
I can preach my propaganda day after day, and when someone calls me out on my bullshit, I can say "Hey guys, don't take me so seriously, I'm just a comedian."

WHAT FUCKING PROPAGANDA?
Can you please provide evidence of unreasonable stances he has taken?
Is everyone on Voat a fucking conservative bubble boy?

The show itself is biased, there is no question on that. But when it comes to guests he has drilled both alike. Infact i would say democrats actually had it equally treated because he never failed to show his disappointment when democrats don't act according to what they preach. So, as a moderator, he could be unbiased.
Towards the end of the show, he was clearly displeased with the direction the administration was going.

He's made it clear that he's aware of his bias; being unbiased just isn't a priority for him. It seems everyone forgets he's a fucking comedian, with libtards taking his word as prophecy on one side, and on the other side conservitards flipping out at nearly every thing he says.

Let's be real. He's a political pundit who delivers his message through sarcasm, satire, and ridicule.
This whole "he's a comedian gaiz, it dasn't count!" line is baloney.

I'm not saying that makes it a good idea for him to moderate a presidential debate. It's probably a reason he would actively avoid doing so. 17 years of being seen more as a political figure than a comedian is just embarrassing, and probably the reason he just gave up.
Americans take jokes way too fucking seriously.
