There's been some shit 4chan posts but this one is up there. Starts by saying he's a psychologist, so he knows what he's talking about. Yeah right. Then a current affairs satire show is somehow bad for repeated use of current affairs. Facts in quotes to make you doubt they're facts. For some reason absurd metaphors in a satire show is bad, so is laughing. He has you hooked now because you don't like the show because you don't like your "side" being laughed at so he can go into a strawman argument about it. You're left confirming what you though before, "the media" is against you. The usual victim complex, everyone is against you so you have to stay strong and defiant against anyone who has a different opinion, anything that comes from the "left" is bad just because it came from "them". And idiots lap it up.
In another thread people will be laughing at psychologist, they're all conmen, because they said something voat doesn't like.
